Heartland’s Ava Starr is our foundation breeding girl at Sound Labradoodles.  She’s got great conformation and we have been incredibly successful at training her to be a well behaved dog capable of many commands and jobs.  We love Ava and we look forward to her puppies.  Ava’s personality is all dog.  She instinctively wants to work for us and still knows how to have fun with the other dogs when it’s time to play. Ava has never met another dog she didn’t like, but also cannot stand to be very far away from her people, either.

Her coat has to be seen in person.  It is a soft fleece as so many sought after labradoodles have, and it spirals as it grows longer. The color is very unique. While she was dark chocolate as a puppy, her color has gradually changed to all-over highlights with a blue-ish cast; this is generally referred to as “lavender”. It is similar to the color of Weimaraner dogs, and is distinctly different from the more yellow “café” coloring of our boy Rudy.

Amy and Ava recently completed a Therapy Dog Team Seminar together, and will be taking the Delta Therapy Pet Partners exam. We look forward to performing animal-assisted therapy visits together at hospitals and nursing homes, as well as helping children in the Reading With Rover program.

We are very fortunate that Ava comes from great lineage and is a true Australian Labradoodle down to her playful personality.

Ava should next come into season in the Summer of 2010, so look for her puppies in the Fall!
