The People Behind Ohio Valley

A shared love of dogs. Years of experience. A personal commitment to every puppy we raise.

Life with Australian Labradoodles in the Ohio countryside.

Our first Australian Labradoodle, Georgia, came to us from California. We were so excited to finally bring her home. My youngest son was just three at the time. He’s sixteen now, and my boys have grown up alongside our dogs, helping care for puppies, playing with them, and being part of their earliest experiences with people.

Georgia was affectionate, smart, and full of personality. Living with her made us fall in love with the breed, and she became the foundation of Ohio Valley Labradoodles. So much of what we have today began with her.

Over the years, we’ve carefully added new bloodlines, paying close attention to health, temperament, and structure. We’ve become more experienced and more particular about the dogs we bring into our program, but what we love about them hasn’t changed. We want to raise dogs that families enjoy living with—dogs who are ready to join in, happy to settle beside you, and loved for their own little personalities.

Kristina - Founder & Breeder

I oversee our breeding program, from researching pedigrees and planning pairings to getting to know each puppy as they grow. I’m also the person you’ll talk with about your family, your questions, and what you’re looking for in a dog. I enjoy helping families choose their puppy, and I’m here for advice and questions long after they’ve gone home.

Starlett - Puppy Nanny - West Liberty

Chocolate and white australian labradoodles with owner

Starlett has been a valued part of our program for many years as a dedicated guardian home. Starlett has three guardian girls including two who have received therapy certification. She works closely with us to raise litters with the same care and dedication. Her experience and commitment make her an invaluable part of our team, and we are grateful for the knowledge and passion she brings to our program.

What Matters To Us

A good life with a dog is built in the everyday: a walk together, time to play, a familiar face waiting at the door. We raise our puppies with that life in mind, and take seriously our part in choosing their parents, caring for their early weeks, and helping you find a dog who fits into yours.
