Behind the Dog House
Welcome to HML - where hearts and paws unite! Thank you for visiting our little haven. May your time with us be filled with smiles as you explore the joyful moments captured between humans and our delightful dogs and puppies. Enjoy the heartwarming journey. 🐾❤️ My name is Carla Zinser, founder/breeder of Heritage Manor Labradoodles.
Husband, Emile and I have three married children, seven grandchildren and two adorable great-granddaughters, all of us being enthusiastic "cynophilists" (dog lovers).
In 2005, my world took a turn with my first encounter with an Australian Labradoodle. That moment marked the beginning of a journey filled with a newfound passion. Since then, we have been driven by a desire to help many in need, creating a path of compassion and positivity.
Through in-depth research into the labradoodle world, interviewing veterinarians. dog trainers, therapy dog examiners and attending numerous classes and conferences, I quickly learned the Australian Labradoodle was the breed to help me reach my goal...placing mentally stable, physically healthy, therapy dogs in schools (both public and private), and/or homes, helping one child, one human, at a time.
At HML, our Australian Labradoodles are undeniably, brilliant companions, blending intelligence and love in their four-legged charm. Social butterflies by nature, they thrive in a loving, caring environment that's crucial for their continuous development, ensuring a legacy of brilliance for generations to come. These non-shedding, allergy-friendly beauties redefine the meaning of a perfect furry friend. 🐾❤️
Meet the man behind the scenes....Emile was born and raised in New Orleans and lived in Scotland for 25 years working in the North Sea. He dedicated over 40 years managing oil rigs all over the world.
Today, Emile is not only the bookkeeper, meticulously balancing our lives, but also dedicated nurturer of our growing furbabies. Each day he introduces our newborn puppies to a symphony of new sights, sounds and smells, crafting a world of wonderful our little ones. His love extends beyond numbers, embracing the joy of raising our puppies with care and creativity. 🐾❤️
