Gracee is a girl we have in a Guardian Family. She has passed all of her genetic and physical tests and we are waiting for her to be old enough to be bred.

Here is a note we got from her Guardian Family.

“Last night I let Gracee out for her bedtime potty break. After bringing her back in, she continued to want back out by ringing her bell and barking. Her usual routine is to go "night-night" and head to her crate/bed without barking or resistance. While I was annoyed with her continuous barking over my "quiet" commands, I followed Gracee outside and noticed a her running and sniffing the retaining wall. By then, there was a definite fresh burning wire smell. I took a begrudgingly barking Gracee back inside and searched the back/ front of the house. I couldn't locate anything so I texted my neighbors to check their homes. Within minutes, my neighbor spotted smoke coming up from my retaining wall.

I called 911, the Firemen were able to put out a small fire that was on it's way to quickly becoming a big fire. Had it not been for Gracee's bark warnings, behavior and persistence I would have gone to bed with a fire burning away.

I may have already told you about her bear warning a few months ago, if not, add that to Gracee's good deeds. One evening she was anxiously running outside back and forth with her tail and head up, barking. When I went outside, my neighbor warned me that there was a black bear around the corner.”

We don’t advertise our Australian Labradoodles as Hero Dogs, but we won’t deny it if asked.

Gracee. Hero.
