Jake Mannix is our breed expert! If you have any questions regarding these wonderful dogs he is the person you want to talk to. Feel free to email him directly. In his "spare" time Jake also works at the University of Washington's high energy physics department where he tries to apply particle physics to our beautiful Universe and build wonderful theories. When he really feels like he has more time to spare he will also pick up a contract here or there in a computer "nerd" position as a software (java) developer.

Hélène Baradat-Thompson is our web designer/maintainer and handles all the paperwork, feeding, training, grooming and general well being of her charges. She is a natural at understanding and spotting each puppy's character and temperament and will be a very active part in making sure you get the puppy that will fit you best! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the puppy's characters traits feel free to email her directly. She is also a French native, a semi retired Licensed Massage Therapist, a retired web designer, the happy mother of a 10 year old and a 8 months old, an artist and a muse. Hélène has also been an allergy sufferer for many years now. After looking everywhere for a dog that would not trigger her symptoms such as rashes, eyes watering, runny nose and breathing difficulties she stumbled upon the Australian Labradoodles. Her love for the breed and her intent to share it with other families and people with allergies started Kadli Cottage. 

Liam is a happy 10 year old bilingual boy in charge of designing our dogs daily menu, as well as feeding his charges and making sure everyone is happy and played with on a daily basis. He is thinking of starting his new line of dog food, made only with fresh raw or cooked organic/free range ingredients. He loves cooking and enjoys watching "cooking shows" as well as trying out new recipes weekly, eating sushi and visiting his grandparents in the south of France.

Liya is a very active, strong minded little one that is mostly in charge of making sure all the puppies are safe for children by using her very special "Liya fail proof test"!
