The Dogs Behind the Lineage
Every Tapua pup carries eight generations of carefully selected lineage. These are the dogs that anchor it — our breeding stock and the placed pups now working as Assistance Dogs across Australia. Health-tested, Dogs Australia-registered, and bred for the temperament that holds up on the job and settles at home.
- Dogs Australia Registered
- Fully Health & DNA Tested
- 8 Generations of Proven Lines
MEET OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE PRODUCERS
Our stud dogs and dams are the foundation of every Tapua litter. Each one is fully health-screened — hip and elbow scored, DNA profiled across the three known Labrador conditions, and selected as much for temperament as for conformation. Hover or tap each dog to see their pedigree, achievements, and the litters they’ve contributed to.

Nova is a diabetes alert dog for his young T1D charge. His primary role is to alert at night as T1D is particularly unstable at night, he will pick up on his owners DSL drops and will alert the parents to test for low BSL's. He is very reliable. We can imprint the T1D scent on her from 5 weeks of age.

Bringing Home a Tapua Pup
A Tapua pup is a long-term commitment. We place puppies into homes and programs that match the temperament and drive each pup carries — and we work alongside trainers, organisations and families to make sure each placement succeeds. Here’s how it works.
Looking for a Tapua Pup?
Tapua pups are placed carefully — temperament-matched to the role and home where they’ll thrive. We have no available litters right now, but the waitlist is open. We also work with two trusted partner kennels for buyers whose timeline doesn’t line up with ours.
Available to approved health tested bitches.
Every Tapua pup leaves with
- ANKC papers and four generations of pedigree
- Full DNA profile, hip and elbow scores from both parents
- Microchip, vaccinations, and six weeks of puppy insurance
- Tapua puppy pack — food, a blanket from home, and care notes
- A trainer match arranged before pickup, where applicable
Looking for a pup sooner?
We partner with two quality kennels breeding Labradors for Assistance Dog work, performance and sporting roles. When their bitches are confirmed in whelp, we’ll let you know — and connect you directly if the timing and temperament fit.
