Profile Information

About Me:: We are a small family- based breeder of authentic Australian Multi-Generational Labradoodles. We are located in Northern Virginia, approximately 60 miles west of Washington, D.C..

We live in Northern Virginia with our daughter Mai and son Rei, canine companions, horse, and an African Grey Parrot. We are all animal lovers.

My husband and I started showing and breeding Golden Retrievers in 1993. Our first Golden Retriever, Robin, became an American/Canadian Champion when he was two years old. In 1994, he took reserved winners dog at the Golden Retriever Club Of America National Specialty from the puppy class. Our foundation bitch, Coco, finished an American Champion title at the age of 20 months with 3 Majors in California. Our breeding interests were focused on improving the breed standard, but to be able to provide happy and healthy puppies to loving families. We found through meeting potential buyers and providing puppies to loving families most enjoyable.

My husband, Dave has been a huge supporter of our interests in dogs. He grew up training labradors for hunting pheasants and ducks. He works for the federal government as a K-9 Program Manager.
In his career, he worked as a K-9 handler in the detection of narcotics in San Diego at the U.S./Mexican border. He was an instructor for several years and trained teams (dogs and handlers) in the detection of narcotics, currency, explosives, and concealed humans. In addition, he was a supervisor at the K-9 Training Center and worked with the breeding program.

Treat's Honeymoon!

Posted on March 2, 2009 at 3:34pm 0 Comments 0 Favorites

Our Treat just had Honeymoon with our new stud, Romeo.

I prefer to breed naturally, but there were weather restrictions to ship our girl to the stud especially this time of the year.

AI is an another option, but weekend and holidays are a pain...

We suddenly decided to purchase Romeo from a breeder in Australia.

He came to the U.S.A. on 2/24/09 which was Day 12 for Treat.

What a timing!!!

I was born and raised in Southern California and didn't appreciate our good weather until we went to Florida for a vacation a few years ago. It made me aware of how temperate our climate is. Being a member of doodlekisses has really opened my eyes to winter weather and dogs - I truly had NO idea how difficult it is and how dedicated pet owners need to be in places that is snows and rains a lot!!

Perhaps, if you are willing, you can adjust your profile name to "Kyoko in VA" or "Kyoko SGL" (SGL for Sakura Garden Labradoodles) or "Kyoko of Sakura Gardens" --- just to distinguish yourself from the other Kyoko on here so nobody is confused =) To change your profile name go to "Settings" (in the top of the right column).
