Cream Puff Labradoodles was founded in New Jersey in 2010 by CPA and actor Don Robinson. Having grown up on a farm in Texas, Don had Labradors his entire life. Sadly he became allergic to his best friends when he developed asthma following 9/11; as a CPA he was working close by the towers when they fell. After nine years of taking medication to combat his allergies, his beloved companions passed away. With a young family, Don wanted to find a breed of dog that had the size and temperament of the Labradors he so dearly missed, yet most of the non-shedding breeds he was not allergic to were small dogs. Labradoodles became the obvious choice. Don researched the breed extensively and in doing so discovered how many "backyard" breeders were out there, prompting him to begin his journey of breeding quality Australian Labradoodles. This also became a way to share with his daughters some of his cherished childhood experiences from growing up on a farm surrounded by animals.

Shortly after Cream Puff Labradoodles began, a close friend of Don's, Megan McLoughlin, decided to adopt a Cream Puff guardian puppy who she named Molly. Having a puppy was a new experience for Megan who had always adopted rescue dogs, but after spending so much time with Don, his husband Sean, and their dogs, she completely fell in love with the breed. It wasn’t long before Megan had fully immersed herself in Cream Puff, running all aspects of the business, learning every important detail of genetic diversity, and cultivating a unique tight-knit social media community of “Cream Puff families” via Instagram. In 2021 when Don decided to sell the business, Megan was the only acceptable choice for a buyer.

 

Megan’s dedication to the Australian Labradoodle community as a whole has earned her a place on the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA) Board of Directors, where she proudly serves to secure the vitality and longevity of this very special breed.

Megan's passion and vision have transformed Cream Puff Labradoodles into what it is today; a beloved and trusted name in Australian Labradoodle breeding, with clients regularly flying in from all over the US to take home a Cream Puff puppy. Her dogs may be Australian Labradoodles, but thanks to the stellar reputation Megan has built, if you ask most people with one what type of dog they have, the chances are they will not respond with a breed name - they will simply say “it’s a Cream Puff!”.
