Sweet Tea Australian Labradoodles began in early spring 2020, when we became a guardian home for Patriot's Day Doodles and welcomed Patriot’s Day Semper Veritas ("Tessie") into our family. After prayerful consideration, we officially launched Sweet Tea Australian Labradoodles, LLC, in May 2020.

​

We’re located in Virginia Beach on the “Southside” of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, and have called the Hampton Roads area home since 2009. Originally from Ohio, we moved here when my husband pursued a Master's in Biblical Studies—with one baby in tow! Since then, our family has grown to seven, with five kids ranging in age from 6 to 16. With all the activity in our home, our puppies are naturally well-socialized and loved.

Before becoming a mom, I worked as a Registered Nurse for nearly a decade. Combined with our homeschooling lifestyle, dog breeding has become a natural extension of our family life—offering fun, growth, and hands-on learning for our children.

​

When we’re not raising pups, we love hiking, camping, beach days, and spending time with our church family. We also love taking care of our chickens, ducks, and rabbits here on our "mini farm,"

​

As for our name—Sweet Tea is a nod to Southern hospitality. It’s often the drink of choice when we host guests and evokes the warmth, ease, and connection we hope to reflect in both our home and our dogs. Just like a good glass of sweet tea, our Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are known for their gentle, affectionate temperaments—something we strive to preserve and pass on.
