Ashlea Cummerford, owner of Rose Country Labradoodles

Meet Ashlea Cummerford

My name is Ashlea Cummerford and I live in the city of Red Deer, Alberta, with my pack of furry friends. I have been a dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember — I've been a dog owner my entire life, except for a couple of years while I was in college.

After years of building a career in real estate, I decided it was time for a change and began exploring the world of responsible dog breeding. I wanted a path that would let me pour my energy into something I'm truly passionate about — raising happy, healthy Australian Labradoodles.

That passion led to Rose Country Labradoodles. Every day I get to do what I love: caring for our dogs, matching wonderful families with their perfect puppy, and being part of the incredible Australian Labradoodle community.

Our Mission

We strive to deliver a level of service that exceeds the expectations of our customers. Rose Country Labradoodles is a breeder of Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale in Alberta and across Canada.

Our mission is not just to sell these labradoodles but to find them a great family and home. We at Rose Country truly hope our labradoodles will bring as much happiness to your family as they do to ours.
