In December of 2004, my dad and I took a trip Down Under to visit the originators of the Australian Labradoodles. 

We had a great time - and of course - did a little sightseeing while we were there!

Here we are at Rutland Manor visiting with Beverley and her lovely labradoodles.  She was a most gracious host and we enjoyed seeing all the doodles and new puppies!

Next we visited with Tegan Park
