| Friends Sally Bell is arguably the top breeder
of Labrador retrievers in the world. Sally has bred, owned or shown
over 150 champion Labrador Retrievers. Sally began breeding Labrador
retrievers in the 1960’s after being inspired to do so by a visit
to the Seeing Eye located in Morristown, New Jersey. For nearly six
years the Seeing Eye used Sally’s dogs for their world renowned
service dog program. In addition to providing Circle of Life with the
foundation dams for its breeding program, Sally and her husband, Dr.
Ron Bell, a retired veterinarian serve as mentors to Circle of Life.
In that capacity they assist in stud dog selection. They also provide
us with exceptionally bred Labrador Retriever pups when we do not have
one available for a family that we are serving. Patty Dobbs Gross is the Executive Director of the North Star Foundation and the author of The Golden Bridge: A Guide to Assistance Dogs for Children Challenged by Autism or other Developmental Disabilities. We are proud to work in partnership with North Star as a breeder of Labrador retrievers for North Star’s assistance dog program. She may be reached at 860-423-0664 or at www.northstardogs.com. Dr. Bruce Klink is a graduate of Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. Bruce spent ten years practicing small animal medicine. Today he is employed by Bayer Animal Health as a senior technical services veterinarian. Dr. Paul Weeks is a principal of Providence Veterinary
Associates and conducts the reproductive work for Circle of Life. Dr.
Weeks graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine
in 1984. This is what she had to say about us "For more than two years now Charlie Petrizzo has bred, trained and donated outstanding Labrador retriever pups to our organization for placement in families with children who have special needs. Charlie's pups have worked out beautifully with the children we serve, both due to their genetic predisposition for outstanding temperaments, as well as because of the extraordinary amount of intelligent and gentle socialization and training that Charlie offers his pups. Clients looking for the services of a knowledgeable trainer that can help them mold a well behaved family dog need look no farther than Charlie and Circle of Life."
Charlie Petrizzo has distinguished himself with a broad
knowledge of canine training, behavior, breeding, and nutrition. Significantly,
Charlie demonstrates a continuous desire to learn even more through
reading, course study, and pointed questioning. When it comes to dogs,
Charlie cares.
