Selah
Australian Labradoodles with Health, Heart & Heritage
“Tegan Park’s Monarch, the foundation furbaby who first showed us what a true Australian Labradoodle should be – athletic, intuitive, and deeply people‑focused.”
“Selah” is a small Hebrew word that appears throughout the Psalms, usually at moments where the songwriter wanted the reader or musician to pause and really take in what had just been said. Over time it has come to picture an intentional, even sacred, pause—a rest in the middle of noise and movement so the heart can reset and pay attention again. Selah Doodles carries that meaning for our family: a chosen rest, taken if necessary by force, where dogs and people both get to breathe, reconnect, and remember what really matters.
Our Story
Selah Doodles began more than a decade ago when our first Australian Labradoodle, Tegan Park’s Monarch, came home from one of the original development kennels that helped shape this remarkable breed. That experience set the standard for what we believe an Australian Labradoodle should be: healthy, intuitive, biddable, and truly part of the family.
After stepping away from breeding for several years, we are relaunching Selah Doodles with Ophelia of Barksdale Labradoodles and future breeding dogs from established Tegan Park and Rutland Manor-based lines, focusing on a small number of carefully planned litters each year.
*The name Selah reminds us to pause on purpose—to rest, reflect, and enjoy the moment—so at Selah Doodles we like to say we create ‘intentional paws’ in busy lives, one gentle, joyful set of paws at a time.
