Our Story
Meet Ammon and Aspen
Hi, we’re Ammon and Aspen, and we’re the ones running the day-to-day here at Camden Lane. We live in Draper, UT in the same home where this program started, and have been hands-on with every litter for years. While Ammon's mom (the original founder) is currently out of state, we continue her vision: raising Australian Labradoodles with the same care, intention, and love that she instilled from the very beginning.
Our approach is simple, but thoughtful. Every puppy gets quality time, structured training, socialization with our young child, family, neighbors, and friends, and experiences designed to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions. We love getting to know each pup’s personality and then watching that magical moment when it clicks with the family they were meant to join. To us, it always seems like their spirits know exactly where they belong.
Raising these puppies is our full-time work. Our focus is on more than just health or survival. We want every dog to be ready for life: calm, social, confident, and happy. Aspen also occasionally does videography on the side, but our hearts are fully here, nurturing the puppies and setting them up for lifelong success. Our goal is that when families meet us, they see a home that is clean, professional, and intentional, but also warm, loving, and full of life — a place where puppies are truly raised with care.
The Beginning: Jenessa's Vision
It started with a mom, seven kids, and a search for the perfect dog.
I wanted a breed that was more than just cute or smart. I wanted one that was steady, one that truly connected with people. After a lot of research, I found the Australian Labradoodle. Their background as therapy and service dogs spoke to me, and when we brought home our first two, I was amazed. They were calm, kind, and seemed to sense exactly what we needed. Everything about them felt right.
A little while later, I learned that the breeder we’d gotten our dogs from was selling her program. My kids were getting older, and I felt like this was a new way to keep nurturing life, just in a different form. Taking over the program wasn’t planned, but it felt meant to be.
Over the past eight years, it’s grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. We’ve stayed small and intentional on purpose. Our puppies are raised in our homes, surrounded by family, neighbors, and friends. They grow up hearing laughter, feeling love, and learning what it means to be part of a family.
This isn’t just a business to us. It’s our family’s way of adding a little more love and goodness into the world one puppy, one home, one story at a time.
