About Us
We Are The Tyrka Family
Nestled in the beautiful Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, in the charming town of Decatur, our family is blessed to live a life full of love, joy, and connection. We are Southern Meadows Australian Labradoodles – a small, family-run breeder specializing in multi-generation miniature and medium-sized Australian Labradoodles.
We are a close-knit family of seven: mom, dad, and our four wonderful children – three daughters and one son. All of our children are homeschooled, which not only allows us to spend precious time together but also gives them the incredible opportunity to grow alongside our puppies, experiencing the joy and love that comes with raising them.
Our hearts are full of love for animals, and we find joy in everything from visiting zoos and cheering on our favorite sports teams, to sandy beach days and road trips to national parks. But the greatest joy we have is connecting families with their future best friend.
For over six years, we’ve had the privilege of helping families find the perfect Australian Labradoodle companion. Each of our puppies is raised with tender care and attention, either in our home or in an approved Guardian home with trusted friends. We treat each puppy like one of our own, ensuring they receive the highest level of love and care until they join your family.
Our mission is simple: to connect wonderful families with puppies that will be cherished for a lifetime. We are honored to be part of your journey in welcoming a new fur baby into your home.

Adventures
We love to explore whether it is in our backyard, our small town, national parks, or road trips. What better trip can you take then one with the DOOD'S they absolutely love to walk, hike, run, and ride in the car. Some of our DOOD's love to take a swim in the pool.
Best Paw Forward Training
Raising confident and secure puppies start in the first weeks of the puppy's life. Training is very important to us and it is also one of our children's favorite things to do with the puppies and our dogs. It helps build rewarding relationships with each of our doodles! It is a positive experience for all involved We are so proud of our kids and smart puppies! Training takes hard work and continued dedication. The happiness and joy that comes when we achieve our goal of teaching new tricks, behaviors, commands, and awards is so encouraging to us all.!
