Breeding with honesty & integrity
for healthy, happy family pets
Welcome and thank you for visiting
My Australian Labradoodle puppies, like my dogs, are raised in my home.
​
A well rounded puppy starts off with a knowledgeable and dedicated breeder.
At Northbound we are passionate about our dogs and will 'interview' every prospective home to make sure you understand the breed, the responsibility of raising a puppy and the likely 15 year commitment.
My dogs originate from established and recognised Australian Labradoodle breeder lines.
Since 2012 I have responsibly bred for temperament and health, whilst staying true to the breed standard and protecting its future development.
I am exceptionally proud of my dogs and the wonderful puppies they produce, plus their owners whom I consider my friends.
For healthy, happy, family pets...
Having owned Australian Labradoodles since 2008, I am dedicated to the development and longevity of this wonderful breed.
​
With pride I stand by the breeding I undertake with honesty and integrity. My dogs are bred for temperament and health first and foremost.
The Australian Labradoodles you see on this website have joined me from Canada, America, and across Europe.
It is my aim to breed the best ALD puppies I can through careful selection and to continue being one of the best breeders in the UK.
​
​
I DO NOT SELL BREEDING DOGS, OR SELL PUPPIES WITH BREEDING RIGHTS.
​
​
This breed is great fun. They are highly intelligent, active, bouncy, intuitive and very addictive! I have tried to briefly summarise what its like living with an Australian Labradoodle...it is hard work, but lots of fun.

NORTHBOUND IS A DECADE OLD
Established in 2012, I have owned, lived and breathed Labradoodles now for over a decade. I'm considered one of the longest serving professional breeders in the UK with a firm and respected reputation.
​
With humour, and a positive, no-nonsense approach, I have educated, coached and guided many puppy owners through the maze of preparation, socialisation, training, grooming and feeding, and look forward to continuing so for the next decade...
​
I look forward to welcoming you all to the future Northbound family.
GUARDIAN HOMES NEEDED
I have spent a number of years working with some fantastic guardian homes.
Due to changes I have made with my guardian girls having less litters than most UK breeders, and my studs retiring earlier than other breeders, this means I need more high quality guardian homes now and in the future, as my breeding dogs retire earlier.

Please discuss this with me following your application.
What my puppy owners say...
Lux
As an experienced dog owner and former vet nurse, I wish all dog breeders were a model of Johanne, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Barney
Johanne prepares all her owners so well, with a wealth of information before you collect your puppy and ongoing advice for as long as you need it.
Bobby has been so well cared for and loved in his first few weeks of life and this is reflected in his personality daily. He is so gentle, loving and easy going.
