About Us
Chevromist Kennels is a family business that is a registered Domestic Animal Business which undergoes regular audits and inspections by Animal Welfare of Victoria as well as the local authority. We are extremely excited and proud to announce that our kennels are now approved by the Victorian Agricultural Minister. In order to receive approval from the Victorian Minister we had to undergo a very lengthy process including a 6 hour audit conducted by 4 Victorian Animal Welfare Officers who prepare a detailed report for the Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria who makes a recommendation to the Minister for Agriculture before approval is finally granted by the Victorian Minister for Agriculture. This process is necessary to ensure that Victorian Minister Approved Kennels are operating at the very highest of Animal Welfare standards and in time, we hope to see other states and territories around Australia follow Victoria’s example which will prevent “puppy farms” from relocating to states with weak animal welfare laws.

Chevromist’s breeding program has a clear focus on health and temperament to ensure our puppies are perfectly suited to families here in Australia and overseas.
Chevromist Kennels was established in the late 1980s where we originally bred purebred dogs for the show ring. Since then, Chevromist Kennels has evolved and is now breeding healthy, family friendly designer dogs including;
Cavoodles Spoodles Groodles Labradoodles Moodles Poochons Beagliers Maltaliers and Cavockers
Our puppies are DNA Health cleared for over 30 different genetic diseases and are all sold with a 3 year Health Guarantee, are Vaccinated, Microchipped and all leave with an Information Booklet to help new owners get ready for the arrival of their puppy.
Hepburn Park (our kennel facility) has the highest standards for any kennel in Australia. Chevromist has built strong relationships with other top breeders sharing genetics, information on best breeding and rearing practices and partnerships finding homes for their puppies.
It takes a team
We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have the most hard working team of well trained, passionate people to help care for our dogs and puppies. It's a 24 hour, 7 day per week mission to make sure dogs are being walked, groomed, fed, cleaned and everything else in between! It never ends... but we love it!!

There are many different categories of breeders in Australia and it can be confusing to understand the differences. Unfortunately, just about any body can claim to be a "registered" breeder but this is often misleading. Victoria has the strongest laws in Australia regulating Victorian dog breeders.
Professional Breeders
Registered Breeders
As well as being Victorian Minister Approved, we are fully licenced as a Domestic Animal Business. This means that we undergo thorough audits from the Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria and our local council.
Genetic Health Tested Dogs
Our Breeding Program includes DNA testing for over 30 Genetic Diseases. Michael Attard from Chevromist Kennels has completed his degree in Animal Science with a focus on Genetics before completing his Honours work in immunology through Melbourne University’s Dept of Medicine and the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory. Michael is always available to provide expert advice and help improve our breeding program.
3 Year Health Guaranteed
Although we do our very best to reduce the risk of health issues, just like all living creatures, unfortunately we can not eliminate the risk of a health issue developing entirely. Each puppy comes with a 3 Year Health Guarantee that covers Hereditary and Congenital issues up to the purchase price of the puppy.
