We have a litter of gorgeous Golden retriever X Labrador puppies (Goldadores) born on the 8th of June. Mother is our sweet golden girl Honeybee and Dad is our charming chocolate boy Bear.

Golden retriever x Labradors-also known as Goldadores combine the best traits of both breeds. The gentle, often goofy loveability of the Labrador with the intelligence,energy and desire to engage of the Golden retriever.

Update:All of our current litter have now found their forever homes, we are expecting 2 different litters in 2-3 months time. check out our upcoming litters page and feel free to fill out an application form to be added to the waiting list.

Goldadores sometimes inherit their Golden retriever parent’s coats but more often they end up with a slightly longer then Labrador style coat that is soft like a Golden’s with some longer feathering on the tail. They tend to shed less then either of their purebred parents due to a thinner undercoat. Goldadores are the preferred breed for assistance dogs in the America for their balanced nature and desire to both love and learn.

Our Puppy Price is $5000 per puppy including gst. Each Puppy come complete with an extensive puppy pack, 2 months free pet insurance as well as a helpful Puppy training program to help guide the puppies and their new families from puppy hood through to young adulthood.

We have 2 Goldador puppies still available, 1 golden boy (Red) and 1 golden girl (Pink). We nicknamed them after Roald Dahl characters: Red boy is Augustus, Yellow girl is Matilda, Pink girl is Miss Honey, Green boy is Wonka, Purple girl was Violet (now Molly) Orange boy is James.

Honeybee’s gorgeous Golden retriever X Labrador puppies.

Red boy “Augustus”- This chonky boy was named after the Charlie and the chocolate factory character because for his first 3 weeks he was the roundest, most chonky puppy! He’s now evened out and is just a cuddly bundle of fur! Augustus likes to pounce on his siblings, run around (and sometimes trip over his own feet) and settle down for a good nap afterwards with a belly rub. Pick him up and he just melts into your arms for a good cuddle.

Yellow Collared girl “Matilda”- SOLD-This sweet girl is the only black puppy in our litter and a very special girl. She loves to play but loves to give kisses even more! you can’t pick up this gorgeous girl without getting your face covered in puppy kisses. Matilda loves a belly rub (what puppy doesn’t) and being cradled like a baby in someone’s arms while she gets even more belly rubs.

Pink collared girl “Miss Honey”- Just like her name Miss Honey is just too sweet, she loves to sleep resting on people’s feet (holding them prisoner) or napping in their laps, playing tug or tucking into a nice carrot. She also loves to play with her siblings or other dogs. She would love a family with kids to shower her with affection while she covers them with dog kisses!

Green collared boy “Wonka”- SOLD

This creamy,cuddly boy is a quiet darling. he enjoys playing with his siblings but is also happy to go off on his own for a play or nap by himself. Wonka is a lovely boy, smaller then his brothers but still an armful of love. Wonka is very good at self soothing and doesn’t mind being on his own, he also is very good at adapting his behavior depending on how people respond to him making him a very good therapy dog prospect.

Orange Collared boy “James”- SOLD- This gorgeous golden boy is very middle of the road, he likes to play, he likes to cuddle, he likes to trot off and spend some time digging in the sand pit and then snuggle down in the hole for a nap. James is a classic retriever, he’s joyful, friendly and just a happy boy. If you want the quintessential family retriever then James is your boy!

Now our Casacanines are even better!

After years of research,feedback and tweaking we are pleased to announce that we are launching our Casacanines Puppy program.

Designed to help Casacanines Families navigate the tricky waters of puppy hood, our training program guides you through your puppy’s first year and into adulthood so you can have a relaxed,easygoing furry family member for many many years to come.

“One third of Dogs have a behavior issue.”Companion Animal psychology Study, November 29, 2023. https://www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2023/11/one-third-of-dogs-have-behaviour-issue.html

“Behavior problems degrade the human-animal bond, placing pets at risk of neglect,abuse,relinquishment and euthanasia”- Behavior veterinarian Dr Elle Parker owner of Pawly Understood consulting veterinary clinic Adelaide SA. from Vet practice magazine April 19, 2022. https://www.vetpracticemag.com.au/behavioural-issues-in-dogs/

Behaviors don’t appear in a vacuum, they always start somewhere usually as a coping mechanism or learnt response to a situation and is usually formed during a critical developmental period.

Understanding how crucial the first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life is to their continued health and happiness we designed our early developmental program (modeled after ones used by Guide dogs, Lions hearing dogs, Canine Assist and the International Working dog registry’s) to give our puppies the best chance at living a healthy, happy life with their new families. We are proud to say that due to our extensive training,socialization and positive exposure program none of our puppies( even those raised during Covid) went on to develop behavioral issues.

“Pandemic puppy owners still struggling with their dog’s behavior” Survey by the Guardian, January 23rd 2024. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/22/pandemic-puppy-owners-still-struggling-with-their-dogs-behaviour-survey-shows

Unfortunately once our puppies leave our care they at the mercy of an unregulated dog training industry where negative training methods are still practiced and well meaning owners were being influenced away from listening to their dogs and working together. It would be (another) full time job keeping up to date with the different dog trainers in our state alone, ensuring they are maintaining a high standard of care and are properly teaching dog owners to read and interpret their dog’s body language (rather then just calling all unwanted behavior “bad”).

Instead we have spent the last 3 years learning from animal behaviorists and positive reinforcement and force free dog trainers to create a easy to follow program to help our puppy owners train their own dogs.

with our help you will learn how to feed,groom and care for your puppy, teach it(and your family) the crucial foundations of obedience training (sit,stay,leave it,come,loose leach walking,fetch, touch,give, drop,wait) as well as the foundational knowledge necessary to help them catch,shape and develop their dog’s natural behaviors in order to teach it a wide range of tasks and tricks.

We know that puppies go through very specific developmental phases in their lives (just like humans) and both their self confidence and long term psychological health is determined by how they are treated in each of these stages. Exposure training is more then just playing some noises or shoving puppies at different objects and claiming the are “socialized”. Just like human children, puppies learn quickly and form memories (both good and bad) very easily when they are young.

The right stimulation at the right time (and for the right amount of time) is crucial to forming lifelong positive associations rather then phobia’s. Just as a child first learns to crawl before they can run marathons a dog isn’t born knowing how to interact calmly with other dogs or people. it’s a behavior that is built,brick by brick, interaction by interaction, slowly and carefully over time.

So now along with their extensive puppy pack, each of our puppies comes with a detailed training and raising program that covers Diet, age appropriate exercise,grooming, Basic obedience, puppy phases such as teething and continued toilet and crate training, all the way through puberty and the second fear phase. From Puppyhood through their first exciting year and on into adulthood.

Whether you are looking for a puppy to train up as a medical assistance dog, an emotional support and therapy dog for a special needs family member, or just want loving,healthy family pet (who already comes crate and toilet trained) who is going to live a long full life (without worrying about hip displasia, torn crucial ligaments or preventable genetic diseases) with you then please consider making your next canine a Casacanine.

Choosing the right puppy for you

Prior to visitation we like to talk with prospective owners about their previous pet experiences and expectations to ensure that we pair the right dog with the right family. We strongly encourage any interested parties to spend some time researching the Curly Labradors (see our page and links) to ensure that it is going to be the right fit for their family and lifestyle.

Puppy buyers in South Australia are welcome to come and visit your puppy numerous times before you take them home so that you can both get familiar and comfortable with each other, we are a fully Covid-19 vaccinated household however we will require you to book in your puppy playdates so that we can comply with the health directives regarding gatherings.

We also require that visitors undergo farm bio containment procedures to prevent the chance of canine Parvovirus. This involves spray sterilizing your shoes before entry to the property and keeping all vehicles outside the property.

For interstate customers, we are happy to have weekly Zoom sessions so that you can interact with your puppy before they fly their way to you.
