About Us

Bent Oaks Authentic Australian Labradoodles

A South Carolina Breeder of Australian Labradoodles.

Bent Oaks’ Story:

After teaching elementary for 20 years and owning a small manufacturing business in the Midwest, I was ready to combine my love of animals with my plans for retirement. I returned to teaching and moved to South Carolina in pursuit of a new adventure.

I was raised on a farm and had owned a variety of animals and dog breeds throughout my life. With so many friends and family members experiencing allergies to dogs, I started pursuing a designer breed that would be hypoallergenic and asthma friendly. I came across a premiere breeder in Mississippi and fell in love with the Australian Labradoodles at Barksdale’s Labradoodles.

Al Gordy, owner of Barksdale Labradoodles, and I became fast friends. In June of 2018 I drove to Mississippi to buy my first “Doodle Darlin’”, Carolina Belle, our first chocolate matriarch.

During my visit to Al’s facility, he also introduced me to an adorable red curly coat baby. I couldn’t resist and wound up leaving Barksdale’s with two puppies instead of one! Mercedes Maxi, an equally gorgeous puppy, with a unique red curly coat, will became Bent Oaks Labradoodles’ second “Doodle Darlin’”.

Check out our Puppy Availability for puppies coming soon. These unique “designer” dogs are intelligent, affectionate, athletic, and hypoallergenic. They will capture your heart as they have mine.

My experience with Bent Oaks has been incredible. They have been so good at communication, attention to detail, and caring for each one of their doodle darlin's. Brodie is my best friend and has been the best decision I have made. He is so loyal, extremely intelligent, and was super easy to train. He is so kind to humans and animals of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention how adorable he is!!

Our experience with Deana at Bent Oaks has been wonderful since we connected in summer of 2020. Our puppy, Ziggy, is a handsome boy who loves everyone and every dog he meets. He is a smart boy who has been very responsive to training. Deana was helpful and communicative since the moment we connected when our pup was born in July 2020. We are so happy to have Ziggy as part of our family!!

Rooney is getting so big. He has so much energy and just wants to run constantly. He loves people more than anything and is sad when he can’t go and play with other dogs at the beach. Can’t believe how much he has grown from purple boy into our little chaotic pup (in a good way lol). We are so happy and thankful for him. Hope all is well with you. Happy and healthy holidays.

Rory is getting so big and handsome!He is so funny. He thinks he is a human. In the morning when he sees me brushing the kids’ teeth and brushing their hair, he runs over and lines up so I can do him next! I brush his hair and he even lets me brush his teeth with a toothbrush!

Our puppy from Bent Oak Labradoodles has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is smart, gentle, playful, and loyal. He is friendly to other dogs as well as people of all ages. He has a soft coat that is easy to maintain. I can not recommend this Breeder enough. She has been so helpful to us as first time dog owners, answering questions and always available for support. We are so glad to be a part of the Doodle Darlin’ Family!

ALAA Paw Reward Program

The Silver Paws that appear next to qualified kennels reflect extra health testing for those breeding programs. At a minimum, all Breeder Members must submit hip and elbow clearances; additional testing, while voluntary, earns a breeder a Silver Paw reward.

Silver Paw

In addition to the hip and elbow clearances required of all member breeders, EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse) and prcd-PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) clearance must also be done to earn a Silver Paw.
