SDA is a specialised Service Dog breeding program that serves the global Guide, Assistance and Facility Dog industry. We place our dogs in loving, inclusive, safe, long term home placements. When our dogs are not giving back to our program and the service dog industry, we want them to be enjoying active, social, family lifestyles that includes loving companionship inside the home.

Our program is small, does not breed frequently and breeds Service Dog proven lines. For multiple generations, these breeding lines have had specific health and temperament traits selected for, or against, with the goal of developing an ideal Service Dog that demonstrates excellent trainability, comparatively lower distraction and anxiety levels than most dogs, natural willingness and intuition toward people and of course sound, reliable health through assessment of orthopedics, cardiac health, ophthalmic health and genetic disease testing.

Our program breeds the purebred Labrador Retriever, the purebred Golden Retriever, and the Labrador Retriever X Golden Retriever crossbreed, which has proven to be a successful and widely accepted cross within the service dog industry for many decades.
