Accepting Applications for Roxie X Cosmo

Puppies due March 16, 2012

Roxie and Cosmo were mated on Jan 15, 2012, so we expect puppies to be born about March 16, 2012. Cosmo has thrown both beautiful black and red puppies, so we are expecting black, red, and apricot puppies. We can hardly wait to see what this mating produces.

Roxie has matured to 18 pounds and sports a gorgeous apricot colored fleece coat. She lives with Kathy and Mike in Indiana and they cannot say enough wonderful comments about her. Her best friend is their cat, Palmer. Mike taught Roxie how to swim this past year. Mike says that Roxie and Palmer play together non-stop and he calls them the Palmer Gang. Palmer throws items that Roxie could not reach off of the counters for her to obtain.

This is what Teresa says about Cosmo, "Cosmo is a dream dog...as good as they come! He's smart, so sweet in nature but his best attribute is his temperament. Cosmo has a perfect black fleece coat with super conformation and saber tail. His daddy is a very dark red Poodle from new lines so he'll add new lines for us and produce dark red puppies with dark black pigment."

Accepting Applications for Sufi X Cole

Heartsong I'm yours ~ Sufi will have her second litter in the spring/summer of 2012. Sufi presented fabulous babies the first time around. We hope to mate her with our very own Heartsong Cole. They should have medium size offspring in various shades of gold and cream. Cole throws very consistent coats and type. We think that he is ideal. Sufi has a gorgeous fleece coat that feels like Silk. She has great enthusiasm for life and always seems to be smiling. Our Heartsong Roxie Heart is an example of what Sufi produces. She also produced Heartsong Summer, Heartsong Chestnut and Heartsong

She is an adorable girl with a perfect fleece coat. Sufi weighs 17 pounds and is a total bundle of joy and love. Alison describes Sufi as, "she is so tiny and so adorable. She and Mattie are best friends. They hate to have to be apart and refuse to let you love on one without the other. She always chooses a big poofy pillow to sleep on and she eats out of a big bowl. Sufi is very playful and funny. She has a great personality!!! She is so good for Mattie - coaxing her to run around outside. She loves to play ball and loves to fall asleep in our laps. Her coat is silky soft. She completely loves Mattie, loves to lick her ears and thinks she is taking care of her." This is how Sufi is as a mom. She is very nurturing and loving while enjoying playing with her puppies.

Cole is from our gorgeous Natalie that left us to go to Tai when she was 6 months of age. Natalie was named after Natalie Cole. We have named Cole after his Mom and how we feel about her ~ unforgettable. Cole is everything we were searching for in a stud and we have waited a long time for him. He has perfect conformation, great temperament and a yummy coat. He should mature to a nice medium size boy with a golden/apricot colored coat. Thank You Tai for this extraordinary boy.

Recent Awards and Training

Cole and 2 puppies from his last mating with Pearl are our first enrollees in Gimme Grace Dog Training in Louisville, KY. In addition to AKC Canine Good Citizen training, Gimme Grace also specializes in service dog training. We felt that their program would be an excellent complement to these intelligent and well tempered dogs. Cole just completed his AKC Canine Good Citizen training and Sapphire is working on her AKC Canine Good Citizen Award now. Romeo is in service dog training to become a seizure detection service dog. We are so proud of them all. We think these achievements are a compelling testament to the intelligence and temperament of the breed.

Guardian Family Opportunities


Heartsong's Guardian Family Program places a breeding dog in the home of qualified families. After the dog's breeding career is complete (typically 2 - 3 litters for females), the dog becomes the guardian family's forever companion. The program currently requires a deposit of $1,500. A percentage of the deposit is refunded with each litter produced and the balance of the deposit is refunded when ownership of the dog transfer's to the guardian family.

  • Guardian family is responsible for feeding and general veterinary care.
  • Heartsong is responsible for breeding and puppy care expenses.
  • Guardian dog returns to Heartsong for about a 2 week period when it is time to breed.
  • Guardian dog must be available for required testing and veterinary visits with Heartsong's vet.
  • Guardian dog returns to Heartsong a few days before delivery of puppies and stays until puppies are weaned (about 6 weeks)

If you would like to participate in our guardian family program please contact us at askheartsong@heartsonglabradoodles.com.

Certified Therapy Dogs


One of the most rewarding aspects of our breeding program has been the success of our dogs in service programs. This is a testament to the outstanding temperament and intelligence of the breed and the benefits of a small breeding program that selects for temperament and health and that strives to give its dogs the best possible start in life.

Sarah, Cathy, and Oliver

Hello Hello!

I just wanted to update you on Oliver. He is the MOST wonderful puppy! He has flown through basic obedience... (within the first three weeks) and is now well on his way to becoming a service dog. He already responds instantly to sound and alerts on command. He has wonderful people skills and just loves to work in public. He is very much loved in our household. Our trainer says that Ollie is almost a year ahead in his training, and is soon going to start working on advanced concepts. He walks off the leash on a regular basis and never leaves my side. I have never seen him distracted! He loves to play and very much enjoys sitting in my lap at night and 'reading' my book with me. I have attached some pictures for you to see. Hope you enjoy!

We have had several requests about what breeder we used to obtain such a suitable service dog. We would like to give out your name, with your permission. Dogs with a temperament like that are in high demand!

Thank you so much

Sarah and Cathy

We recently received the note below from Joanne.

Hope all is well with you and your family. I just wanted to share with you that Derby became a Therapy Dog with a group called Sunshine Friends last summer. We visit a Skilled Nursing Facility twice a month and Derby loves meeting the residents and socializing with them.

Derby is a joyful soul who loves her six kitty brothers and sisters. She sits on the cat post in the picture window and watches me leave for work almost every morning. She understands the effect that guilt has upon me. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on Derby's accomplishments. Thank you so much for bringing such loving beings into the world.

Thank you Joanne. It's been a joy to see our wonderful dogs making a difference in people's lives.

Gus

Our Special Friend Gus

By Jane Markham, Consultant Teacher

As a child I always had a dog. When I became an adult I always had a dog. To me, a canine companion is essential for my well being. In recent years I have read more and more anecdotal accounts of dogs helping people in a variety of ways and particularly in schools. After reading in the Westchester Journal about a therapy dog visiting a special program in a school in Carmel I decided to do more research. I discovered amazing things. Scientific studies have proven that stroking a dog decreases heart rate and blood pressure. There are special training programs to teach dogs to listen to children read. Dogs have even helped children to testify in court! The evidence that dogs could help children learn was convincing and I wanted to have a dog in our school.

Initially, I ran my idea past the school social worker, psychologist, nurse and several teachers. They were all overwhelmingly in favor of the idea. Then I approached Ms Epstein who also liked the idea and had many questions about the project. Finally, we consulted Mr. Connors, our superintendent who was also very positive. I wanted a medium sized dog that didn't shed and was hypoallergenic. His or her temperament had to be calm and reliable and of course, the dog needed to be social and like children. I found a breeder in Kentucky who bred Labradoodles that derive from Australia, from a very careful and selective breeding program. Her dogs all fit my criteria and she just happened to have a puppy that she thought would be perfect for me. I thought he was especially perfect because his mother is a certified therapy dog.

Gus arrived at LaGuardia Airport on Friday 29th, 2008 weighing 12 lbs. 6 ounces. The following Monday was his first day of school. It was love at first sight between the children and Gus. He loved all the pats and attention and he soon learned which classroom had treats for him. Gus was patient and relaxed around the children and rarely became over stimulated. He did go through the typical puppy phases of chewing and mouthing but the children learned how to handle themselves with Gus. Now Gus is a year old fixture here at MAS.

This past summer Gus received individual training where he earned the nickname of "smarty pants". And now that Gus is one year old he will soon be certified as a "Therapy Dog". Although Gus is not currently certified he has already been doing lots of good work here in the school. He has helped children who were anxious about separating on the first day of school and children who were ill. Children who are reluctant writers have written letters and poems about Gus. Reluctant readers frequently ask to read to Gus and shy, withdrawn children become eager and animated when he is around. Gus has become my regular assistant as I go through my day as a Consultant Teacher, greeting children and adults alike, spreading smiles and warming hearts, helping the process everywhere he goes.

Trina and Sunny

Sunny received his therapy dog certification in August of 2006. Here is Tom's account of the event:

The scene was the back storage room of a Feeders Supply Pet Store during a severe thunder storm. People came in and out emptying litter boxes and two dogs were fighting only 10 feet away, and Sunny passed his Delta Test anyway. Yes, he is a Certified Therapy Dog. We are so proud,Trina of Sunny and me of Trina. The examiner, the President of WAGS said "So that's what an Aussie Labradoodle looks like, I like him a lot, I can't believe that he is only 13 months old."

And we are very proud of you too! Congratulations Sunny and Trina!
