How it all started....

On March 16, 2012 Charlie arrived by plane from Australia.

He was born on December 19, 2011 at Tamaruke Labradoodles near Sydney.

All my life I wanted a dog. As a young child I would walk the dogs in the neighbourhood as my parents life was too busy to have our own dog.

I met my husband and we started travelling and again it was not to combine with a dog.

When we moved to Singapore in August 2011, I thought the timing was right to own a dog and I went on a search for the perfect dog for our family.

I ended up at Tamaruke Australian Labradoodles and the owner Charlotte McGrath was very helpfull and friendly.

The process of importing a dog to Singapore was very simple as Charlotte arranged all the paperwork from her side. All I had to do was arrange for an import license via AVA and that can be done online!

After almost a year we felt that it would be nice for Charlie if there would be a second dog in the family, so that he had a playmate at all times.

We were browsing Gumtree and that is how we found Coco. She was born on January 9, 2013. Her parents come from the UK, Kimberlenes Labradoodles, and the Singapore family they live with, had decided to have puppies. We were very lucky to be able to have a puppy from Belle and Bambi!

Coco joined our family on March 19, 2013.
