The Dogs Who Built the Heart of English Manor

Behind every puppy raised at English Manor Labradoodles is a remarkable lineage of dogs who shaped the temperament, beauty, and character of our program.
This page introduces the Ladies and Gentlemen of English Manor, both current and retired, representing four generations of our breeding program beginning in 2002. Each of these dogs has played a role in preserving the qualities that define the Original Authentic Australian Labradoodle, now recognized worldwide as the Cobber Dog.
Every dog here has contributed something meaningful to the journey we have been on for more than two decades. Some brought exceptional temperament. Others strengthened coat quality, structure, or intelligence. Together, they form the foundation of the English Manor line.

Where It All Began. The Diva’s Story

Every great breeding program begins with one unforgettable dog.

For English Manor Labradoodles, that dog was Aprina In Desiree’s Diva.

Diva came from a lineage considered one of the most valuable Australian Labradoodle imports to the United States. Her mother, Rutland’s Desiree, arrived from Australia carrying puppies sired by the highly respected Tegan Park’s Macho Man, a pairing that many breeders believed represented the very best of the Australian lines.

At the time, only a small number of breeders in America had access to these bloodlines. Securing a female from this litter required persistence, patience, and a deep understanding of the importance of preserving these original lines.

After many conversations and careful vetting, we were graciously given the opportunity to welcome one of Rutland’s Desiree’s puppies into our program.

That puppy was Diva.

She quickly became far more than the foundation of our breeding program. Diva arrived during a difficult chapter in our lives, and in many ways, it felt as though she had been sent to us exactly when we needed her most.

She possessed the qualities the breed was originally created for: intelligence, emotional awareness, warmth, and an extraordinary ability to connect with people. Diva seemed to understand emotions instinctively. She had a way of walking into a room and instantly lifting the mood of everyone there.

When visitors arrived, Diva would happily trot to her toy basket and bring out her favorite toys to share. Sharing was simply part of who she was.

Over time, Diva became not only the foundation of our program but also a constant reminder of why this breed is so special. Her temperament, her heart, and her gentle spirit continue to appear in her descendants to this day.

Her presence was a gift. Her legacy continues in every generation that follows.

  • Diva
  • 2002 – 2015
  • Forever the Queen of the English Manor.

Why Australian ?

01

No two Labradoodles are the same!

There is much confusion about the breed some claiming they are Mutts! and will never be a Purebred or that the breed can’t be trusted ” I got one and it sheds!” the list goes on and on…. Being professional breeders of Arabian Horses as well as Dogs now for over the course of 30 years Me ( Corinne ) and my Mother (Joann) owners here at English Manor would like to Shed some Light ( not hair ) on the Current situation embracing the Labradoodle and all the confusion surrounding it.

Some of the questions I get asked on a regular basis STILL and it pains me to say so is

“Do your Dogs shed? ” ” Are your dogs good with children? ” “Are your Dogs F1 or F1B ?”

“Are your dogs good with other animals ?” “Are your Dogs Hypo allergenic?”

I would of Loved to believe that KNOWLEDGE about the Australian Labradoodle would of continued to spread through out America as it had been spreading back 20 years ago when US breeders starting importing this line from Australia into America ( Importing dogs from Australia is No Little deal folks it’s a small fortune and its a very long drawn out process with TONS of paperwork and red tape ) So then why would breeders from America that could create our own Labradoodle do this ??… Well as the old adage says “Proof is in the Pudding”

THE VISION BEHIND THE AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE

Beverely Manner of Rutland Manor Labradoodles and her daughter Melonie Woolie of Tegan Park Labradoodles vision was to create and develop a Purebred Breed of Labradoodle dog Fully NON SHEDDING , Fully Hypo Allergenic with suitable temperaments to be used as Therapy dogs. This encompassed Companion Dogs or Emotional Support dogs and Service Dogs.
Service Dogs are used more for work such as and not limited to things like See and EYE, Seizure Detection dogs, Physically assisting the disabled. Emotional Support dogs are often used to calm Children with Autism in moment of emotional outburst, to be companions to people with conditions like Asperger’s syndrome, Suicide prevention. They help people with Depression and severe anxiety to help lift their spirits.

It was understood by both Beverely and Melonie that it would take MANY generations of breeding SELECTIVELY! and culling out all dogs that would not have the appropriate Temperaments for this work.

It was understood that the crossing between a Purebred Labrador ( hunting breed ) with the Poodle ( Water Hunting breed) would not “out the gate” create what they were trying to achieve. They carefully selected Labrador Linage that was already being bred with a focus in Therapy they steered clear of Labradors being bred by Hunters or the Hunting lines as we call them, they did the same when selecting the Poodles they would use as foundation stock knowing that Poodles tend to be Aloof and often being a “one person” dog, weary of Strangers and are actually Great Guard Dogs. What many people do not know about Poodles is that during World Wars they were used as Guard dogs. Again the Poodles Selected to be the Foundation of the Australian Labradoodles were Temperament tested and out of lines that were known to be happier friendly lines.

The breeding of the two purebreds is what’s referred to as the F1 Labradoodle this is the VERY VERY first step into Line development Most of the F1’s are culled and are NOT used as breeding dogs to produce the NEXT generation because they did not have the correct Temperaments. Matter of FACT some ENTIRE litters of these F1’s did not produce even One puppy that Beverley or her Daughter thought suitable to use as the next step. Its always been accepted that F1’s SHED! In fact almost ALL F1’s shed. It would take building upon these F1’s into further generations before a line becomes NON shedding with the COMPLETELY non shedding versions of Labradoodles not showing up until the Fourth Generations F4’s’ IN order to make the Non shedding genetic STRONGER you create the F1B . AGAIN THIS IS A VERY VERY First Generational step to a very long process of producing a PUREBRED What is the F1B its an F1 bred back to the Poodle, (B stands for BACK ) to make the NON shedding gene Stronger.
  • F1 bred to F1 = F2
  • F2 bred to F2=F3
  • F1 bred back to Poodle= F1B
  • F3 bred to F1 B = F2B
This continues UP to the F6 and that is when things get Really exciting !! there is NO F7 It becomes an A, Your line is now a PUREBRED. THIS is an extremely slow process to get to the “A” generation easily taking up to 50 years for a dog breeder to do, it’s a lifetime of work and an incredible amount of dogs too. Beverley and her daughter Melonie accomplished that The Characteristics and traits she stamped into the BREED is Completely NON shedding, Hypo Allergenic With amazing therapy dog temperaments YOU CAN NOT CREATE A BREED WITH OUT KNOWING WHERE YOUR GOING Beverley and Melonie KNEW THIS and that is why they got to there Destination the Founders of the AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE.

AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLES are in their OWN LANE,

You can not COMPARE Australian Labradoodles to American bred Labradoodles EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST Firstly Most American Labradoodles breeders are still only breeding Labs to Poodles F1’S Some American Labradoodle breeders are breeding some F1B’s or even F1B’s to F1B’s and they are called Multi Generational But that’s about as far as it’s gotten here in America.
Then there is also the question of why the breeder decided to start breeding ?
Hate to say it but more often than not it’s just to make the all mighty Dollar, unfortunately LABRADOODLES EXPLODED HERE and gained Huge Popularity and So everyone started getting in on it BUT there is NO destination so they continue to bred Labradors to Poodles and sell them as NON shedding? or do a litter of F1b’s and sell them as Hypo Allergenic… Which Simply is just Not the Case. It takes generations to achieve these things in the lines. As we explained above Then Temperaments come into question??? Beverley and Melonie, like Me and my Mom are Professional breeders understanding the importance of Linage within the breeds themselves. For example within the Poodle line Some lines were bred specifically for Water Fowl Retrieval while another bloodline was bred for Guarding this contributes heavily on the temperaments within the Poodle bloodline. AS we say in the Australian Labradoodle world it’s in the BLOOD! Not saying we don’t have some wonderful Labradoodle breeders in America likely striving for great things out of there lines but I find it few and far between when I do searches, This is where price comes into play

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Some browse my Site and are appalled by our pricing but when we imported these lines from Australia into America BEVERELY and her daughter were not going to just sell us there labor of love for mere PUPPY MILL price of the States !! And they were also concerned for there reputation of the LINE they produced. Professional breeders in America of Purebred dogs with Top breeding stock Winners at West Minster Dog Shows (best of breed) are accustomed to paying upwards of $10,000 of for Breeding Stock. Your not Buying BEST in show for $3500 it is very accepted within the Professional dog breeding world to pay $50,000 even to $100,000 for a top Bitch Or Stud especially if it’s Titled and Earned wins. Beverely with having the BEST of Intentions for her lines and Not wanting her dogs to fall in the hands of unethical uneducated breeders which could hurt the reputation of her line asked a very High price for her dogs she asked well into the $10,000″s for her line Plus shipping and quarantine, So only the super serious Scrupulous breeders here in the states ended up with her DOGS ( TRUST ME WE WERE ALL INTERVEIWED UPSIDE AND DOWN) .. With some of us pulling out second mortgages to do this.
Current American Labradoodles pricing Ranges from $1500-$2500 for F1”s and F1B’s with Mulitgen American Labradoodle Around $3000-$3500 So in reality we are not much more .

I HEARD THEY CHANGED THE NAME TO COBBER DOG ?

Yes you heard Right ! Beverley Submitted her line of Australian Labradoodles for purebred recognition in 2012 .In order for the Australian Labradoodle to be differentiated from other Labradoodles it was request by MDBA of Australia ( The AKC of Australia) to coin a new name for her line. She coined it Australian Cobber DOGS and they were recognized and established as a purebred breed in 2012. It’s new so will take sometime for people to catch on to the phrase but it’s certainly helping people realize the Difference
