About Aislinge Labradors

AISLINGE... An Irish girls name with the meaning of " A Dream, A Vision"   pronounced "Ashling"

It has been a lifetime dream and vision of mine to one day have my own Labrador  family.
Only to bring forth lines with the vision of making sure that all of my Lab family members are 
true to our breed standards, happy and healthy, thus passing on true Labrador temperment 
to any litters that are born and socialized in our home.

Our dogs all complete basics in training, and engage in competion venues that fit each dog's personality 

We currently compete in areas of:
*  Breed Conformation with the American Kennel Club and in the United Kennel Club, 
*  AKC Rally Obedience
*  Future goals include Hunt trial competition.

We actively participate in community service work 
All dogs work towards certification as AKC Canine Good Citizens, and Therapy Dogs International.

Please visit each dogs web page for more information about their accomplishments and personalities! 
If you have any questions you may contact me at 540-907-4121

We will only have one litter a year.  
Parents have all necessary OFA certifications, Hips, Elbows, Cardiac, thyroids checked annually.
All dogs are current on all vaccines, and have eyes are certified every year through a board certified eye specialist.  

Both parents are carefully researched and screened for any issues that would affect a possible breeding, 
thus we spend a lot of time researching the pedigrees of our possible breedings.

Our very first Aisinge litter was born on April 25, 2008

CH Libertycrk Sound of Silence, CGC TDI   X  Castlebrae Hennings Mill Karma -- a beautiful litter!

April 25, 2008 Litter

Morsels

The litter is now 4 months old, everyone has been placed in their forever homes..and doing very well.  It is amazing to hear how much alike they are in many ways, yet each does has his or her own very distinct personality.  What I am most proud of in this litter is that each pup is proving to be a wonderful family member, very very quick to learn, very loving and laid back, yet with a wonderful sense of play as true of Labrador temperment!

Karma will have her 2nd and last litter next year(late spring 09) , We will go back into competition with her, as well as earn her Therapy Dog certification.  The Morsels, as some refer to .. The TOLL HOUSE GANG, have  been and will ALWAYS be my babies, no matter where they are... what an amazing and life changing experience this was to bring them into this sometimes wacky world, only for them to love and be loved.. Thank you Karma & Simon.. beautiful parents .. beautiful babies.. to the breeders before me to have produced these two parents.. thank you for your hard work and dedication to the lines.. as I plan to continue the careful selection of your work to bring forth the best of the best.

Puppy Questionaire


I am very selective of the homes that my puppy's go to, and require the following questionaire to be completed for a puppy to be considered to be placed in your home.  The time and work that goes into bringing a litter of wonderful Labradors into this world is something I do not take lightly, therefore, nor will I take lightly the forever homes that each of my pups will live in.

Please fill out the below questionaire, and I will be in contact with you. 
Thank you for considering a puppy from Aislinge Retrievers.
