About Us
Mountain Park Labradoodles is an all-American family business. We began in 2005 by adopting and adoring our first two labradoodles, Pippin and Paisley. They were present in every aspect of our lives, from snuggling on the couch, to baseball games, to camping, to charity walk events, to family reunions and parties here at our home.
When I began to look ahead to the days when my children would leave for college, I knew I wanted to create something that would satisfy my need to keep being a nurturer on a daily basis. I was also in the market for a career change, after having worked in the human resources field for over 20 years.
So, by blending my love of being a mom, the need for a new career, and these wonderful dogs, Mountain Park Labradoodles was born.
Our first litter was born in 2008. Since that time, our business has grown steadily. We are now slowing things down just a bit, ensuring that we are only breeding enough puppies to meet demand. Each of our dogs and each litter of puppies is special to me, and I especially enjoy keeping in touch with our customers from coast to coast. We especially value our customers in the greater New York area, and look forward to hosting our annual NYC party for MPL doodles and their people.
Our Mission
Our whole family has participated in the business to some degree- marketing and advertising and bookkeeping, planning our litters, whelping and raising our puppies, cleaning and socializing, hand delivering all over the country, working with our wonderful customers- our family has a passion for breeding and raising wonderful Australian Labradoodle companions for lucky puppy families.
A little about our family. We’re native Oregonians. I (Debi) met Dave when we were students at Willamette University. We’ve been married for 34 years, have lived in the same home for 30 years, and have two grown children. Reid graduated from Lake Forest College in Illinois, is working as a sales engineer and recently got engaged. He and his fiancee, Nell, are guardians for our papa dog, Sven. Anna Louise will complete her master’s degree this year from Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, with the goal of singing opera when she has completed her studies. She has one of our MPL Labradoodles, Luca, who has been specially trained as a diabetic alert dog to help keep Anna safe, wherever her travels take her. Luca has logged more airline miles than a lot of people! We weathered the Covid lockdown in our own little bubble and still love spending time together. That family time isn’t complete without our personal labradoodles!
About the company
Our family enjoys “giving back” to our community. Dave serves as Chairman of the Board for Nursing Home Ministries, an organization founded by his father. Mountain Park Labradoodles is proud to support organizations conducting research to find a cure for T1D (insulin-dependent, Type 1 diabetes). Debi served several terms on the Board of Directors for Oregon and SW Washington JDRF. Our interest in diabetes research is personal. Anna Louise was diagnosed with T1D when she was 8 years old, and we feel strongly that we need to cure this disease, for Anna and all the other individuals and families affected by it. We donate a portion of the proceeds from every puppy sold to diabetes research.
