OUR STORY
Labradors have always been part of my life, but my greatest dream was to one day become a breeder. When you want something deeply enough, you find a way to make it happen — and that’s how Ndoto Labradors was born. Ndoto means “dream” in Swahili — a perfect blend of my love for Africa and my lifelong wish to fill my home with Labradors.
We’re proud registered breeders of yellow, black, and chocolate Labradors. Team Ndoto is our family: myself, my husband Chris, and our twin boys, Tom and Archie. We live on a beautiful acreage in Rosebank, not far from Byron Bay in Northern NSW. Our love for animals extends well beyond our Labs — we also share our home with our donkeys, Dalton and Phylo, two alpacas, and plenty of chooks. Alongside our gorgeous girls and Ben, our much‑loved solo boy, it makes for a wonderfully full and lively household.
We don’t use kennels — every one of our dogs lives as part of our family, moving freely between indoors and outdoors as they please. They’ve grown up alongside our children, who are now 19, and our puppies are whelped inside our home, becoming familiar with all the sounds and rhythms of a busy family environment.
All of our Labradors undergo hip, elbow, eye, and DNA testing before breeding. We take great care in selecting exceptional sires for each litter, and we take enormous pride in the beautiful temperaments and personalities of the puppies we raise for approved forever homes.
We’re incredibly grateful for the guidance we received in our early years from some of the most respected names in the Labrador community. Our heartfelt thanks go to Di Travers of Bonnsway Labradors (Coffs Harbour), Jude Tankard of Spiritrock Labradors (Tamworth), and Ray Attard of Lacote Labradors (Sydney) for their mentorship and support.

Ndoto Homestays
Over time, our home has become a place not just for raising puppies, but for welcoming other dogs too. That’s how Ndoto Homestays began — a natural extension of our love and care.
We offer Byron Hinterland stays for doggos who need a calm, safe, and loving space while their families are away. No more than four guests at a time, each enjoys a soft bed, gentle routines, and plenty of farm walks and cuddles. It’s quiet, warm, and full of heart — a place where dogs truly feel at home. We take all breeds and sizes.
