Tune in to 'puppy cam'
and watch our puppies grow! Our closed circuit camera system broadcasts live
streaming video
from our nursery. Puppy cam was a big hit
last fall, and we hope everyone will enjoy it again this
year.

Is
your dog a Cedar Hill puppy? We're creating an 'alumni wall'
right outside our nursery with photos of our previous puppies, all grown up. Our visitors enjoy
comparing their own puppy to the photos of his/her relatives they find
on the wall.
Email us your favorite photos and we'll pick
one, print and frame it, and add it to our alumni wall. Larger
sized photos (more pixels) work best since we're printing in 8x10 size.

We're
proud to announce the addition of "Angel of Jade's" to our
breeding program. Angel is a fully tested F1 from Blazing Star
Kennel in Canada, and is the first dog to be added to our program since
we started. Angel's sweet personality and beautiful blondness make her a super match for our red Poodle, Razz. We're looking
forward to a litter of red F1b puppies from them this summer
(2008). Photo courtesy of Blazing Star.

 We'd
like to congratulate Bob, who was selected to be "Mr. August"
in the 2008 "Celebration of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles"
calendar published by the International Doodle Owner's
Group.
Bob lives in New Jersey and his 'bottom's up'
calendar photo is one of our favorites! All proceeds from the calendar
sales went to the not-for-profit IDOG rescue program - the one that rescued Hope!

 Frisco
and Henry celebrated their first birthday with a special
day - including a hike, gifts, and individual birthday cakes followed by a
dessert of pig ears. The cakes were made of carob (chocolate can
be toxic to dogs!) These two boys have their own blog, Doodles
Squared - check it out!

Congratulations
to Charlie, who got a perfect score on his obedience class final exam! The teacher said it
is very hard to
score perfectly. Way to go Charlie!

Briar Rose has
been working hard, practicing and competing in agility, and has
accumulated many ribbons. Who looks more proud - Briar or
her dad? What an awesome team~! |
Cedar
Hill is exceptionally proud of Flynn, a beautiful red F1, who we donated to the Indiana Canine Assistant Network (www.ICANdog.org).
Flynn will become a service dog, if he passes all the rigorous
training that will be required in the next year. The founder
of ICAN, Dr. Sally Irvin, visited us and evaluated Flynn for his
suitability as a service dog. After having Flynn in the ICAN
program for two weeks, Dr. Irvin sent us this report:
"I have never seen a dog just naturally handle: walking easily -- no pulling, picking up commands in record time, demonstrating exceptional house manners, great rider in car, has already gone to 4
restaurants, three shopping malls and will start agility training tonight!
He is magnificent..... possibly the most exceptional pup we have seen!"

 Zoey
helped her dad hunt pheasants last fall. She did a good job of staying within gun range and flushing the
birds, and on the hunt shown here she flushed 9 out of 11 birds. Both
Zoey and her dad look pretty happy with the results.
