More about Hope

Sire for this litter is pending

We have 2 potential sires for this litter.  Both would pair well with Hope.  Who we go with is largely going to be based on the timing of Hope's heat cycle. 


We plan to place 4+ puppies from this litter with non-profit Service Dog training programs. Once the puppies have successfully passed their training programs, each pup will be paired with a Veteran, First Responder, &/or victims of crime who suffer from PTSD. 

Thorin x Lady

"Thorin" Bronze GCH Rebellion's Key to Erebor from Bella Notte SH CD WC

Thorin is an athletic, 85-pound, chocolate Labrador Retriever with gorgeous conformation, incredible drive, and natural hunt instinct. Thorin excels in both the duck blind and in the upland field. If Thorin could talk, I’m sure he would tell you that finding birds is his absolute favorite thing to do. 

He once sniffed out and picked up a friends lost cell phone on state game lands; talk about a ‘needle in a haystack’!

 

Thorin stands out too many as he works WITH his handler, focused and purposeful. In his free time, Thorin enjoys thinking about retrieving ducks while he watches them out the window, lounging around on a comfy bed, or going to local community functions so he can get pets from hundreds of people. His favorite treats are raw marrow bones or crunchy dog biscuits. 

 

As a puppy, not only was Thorin impressive in looks; he was bold, confident, friendly, focused, and shined at every new opportunity. His owner knew early on that Thorin would be one of her greatest victories. 100% Breeder/Owner/Handled to all titles. 

 

Thorin passes on his wonderful traits to his puppies who are now serving as Mental Health Service Dogs, Diabetic Alert Dogs, Canine Advocates comforting victims of domestic violence & other crimes, supporting emergency personal such as firefighters & EMS. Puppies are competing in Hunt Tests, Obedience, Rally, and Agility, as well as a few couch potatoes; all who are loved family companions. 

 

In his owners’ words: 

“Thorin has proven to be an absolute dream dog; truly a dog of a lifetime.”

 

To quote his namesake, Thorin Oakenshield: 

"Loyalty. Honor. A willing heart. I can ask no more than that."

 

Thorin is owned by Cheri Herschell of Rebellion Labradors, Zelienople, PA.

3-peat Breeding! 

We LOVE the feedback we are getting from Patriot K9s of WI on the service dog puppies from Thorin & Lady's previous litters, born April 2023 & Feb 2025.  It was an easy decision to do this cross a third time.

1/2 English Show lines, 1/4 American field lines, & 1/4 British lines.

 

Once again, we intend to place 4 puppies from this litter with non-profit Service Dog training programs. After the pups have successfully passed their training programs, each pup will be paired with a Veteran, First Responder, &/or victims of crime who suffer from PTSD. 

 

With proper training, these puppies are ideal candidates for service work, therapy, obedience, sporting, hunt, as well as great family companions.
