Hello! We are Jackie, Beth & Douglas a small family team who have a passion and expertise in breeding, rearing and progressing the Australian labradoodle breed.
Here at Tora’s Australian Labradoodles we have 20 years of breeding experience. This is not just a hobby to us but a life long passion which has made its way through the generations of our family, passing on valuable knowledge and experience. Unlike some breeders, we don’t have secondary jobs. Thus, our sole focus is producing the best quality Australian labradoodle puppies, in health, temperament and looks. We are the original breeders of Australian labradoodles in Scotland – we were the very first breeders to import an Australian labradoodle into Scotland and one of the very first in the UK.
Here at Tora’s we are all just a little animal mad. Our dogs, horses, chickens and cat are all residents on our ten acre slice of heaven. Though above all we live and breathe Australian Labradoodles and love getting to work with each other every day.
All of our breeding boys and girls have been Hip, Elbow and eye health tested, we have also begun the process of DNA testing our breeding stock. This ensures the best health for your new bundles of joy and the future of the breed. As responsible breeders, our process includes careful selection of breeding pairs. We also source studs from overseas as part of an international Australian Labradoodle breeding program.
When buying an adorable labradoodle puppy, you are investing in a friend for life! As such, we are with you every step of the way. We are professional breeders and as such, we want the very best for you and your new family member. We are always on-hand to help with training tips, feeding, health queries and any other questions you may have at any point in your labradoodles life. We are in this with you for the long haul!
Tora’s is a family run breeding program. Husband and wife Jackie and Douglas both live here at Tora Cottage while their daughter Beth lives locally.
We are also lucky to work with a fantastic team of local vets as well as our family carers who care for many of our breeding girls and boys. We are truly thankful for the amazing community and support we have for what we do.
We are a family run, fully licensed breeding programme, set in the Scottish countryside. Our mission is to breed happy, health Australian labradoodle puppies suitable for both family homes or therapy work.
Jackie founded Tora Labradoodles back in 2004 after importing the very first Australian Labradoodle into Scotland. At the time Jackie had three young children and would stay up late at night after the kids had went to bed researching the breed and studying everything from health testing to genetics. Fast forward 20 years of breeding these incredible dogs and she is truly an expert in all things Australian Labradoodles. Today Jackie continues to develop the breed and sources breeding dogs from around the globe to be used in our program.
Douglas grew up on a farm and was a farmer himself for many years. When he retired from farming he joined in on Jackie’s passion and worked tirelessly to build us the facilities we have at Tora labradoodles today. Douglas can often be found running our gorgoeus puppies to and from their vet appointments and maintaining our grounds and facilities.
We are very lucky to have a small team of care assistants headed by Lia. They make sure that while we are busy answering your emails, taking phone calls or meeting families at viewing/ collection days our dogs and puppies never go a moment without getting the care and attention that they deserve. Lia has many years experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. She has known our family for 20+ years and knows our doodles inside and out, she even has her own Tora labradoodle, Nova.
