About Us

My name is Iryna Rauner I'm originally from Russia/Ukraine. I made the bold decision to come to South Africa in 1999. I arrived here on my own with a bag and a heart full of dreams.

I started training my first dog at the age of 12 and for as long as I can remember my life and my passion has been training and grooming dogs. I think I have always been obsessed with dogs and just don’t get tired of them.

In Ukraine I used to breed of Airedale Terriers. I successfully participated in FCI and international shows and even took top honours with some of my dogs. To be the owner of champion show dogs on the international stage is something that is not easy to explain. The pride and joy I experienced will live with for me forever. I stopped breeding them in 1997 before I came to South Africa.

When I started my new life here I obviously got a few dogs as pets. Then it happened, the Doodle breeds caught my attention. I grew to love and respect the doodle breeds, in particular the labradoodle and the cockapoo. These hypoallergenic, non-shedding breeds make it possible for all families to now own a dog. That was exciting news for me. When I spent some time investigating these breeds I realised that we didn’t have allot of them here in South Africa. I began by focusing on breeding the highest standard of American cockapoos that I could. Very soon I managed to buy my own Labradoodle and the rest is history.

My focus has been to help families that have allergies to dogs, to give them the best hypoallergenic dogs that are very healthy, non-shedding, have great temperaments and are adorable to look at. I made it my personal mission to breed the very best dogs from the most suitable parents that I could find. This has taken years of solid research and financial investment.

When you buy a dog from me I know exactly where it comes from and what the generations of parents look like and how they behave. I do all the relevant genetic health testing and adhere to the highest standards of breeding.
Breeding dogs has had some easy decisions and as an ethical breeder there are some tough decisions too.

Every dog I sell is sold with a legal contract and will always have a home with me.

I make it my business to stay in touch with all the families who own a dog I bred. If I cannot keep a dog that needs to be surrendered then I will rehome it to a suitable home under the same strict contract.

Please enjoy your journey on my website. I hope you find a new Fur Family Member here.

I look forward to meeting you in the future.
