Countryview Australian Labradoodles

Location: Rhode Island
Program Type: Foundational breeder, mentor, and long-standing collaboration
Connection Since: 2018

​

Countryview Australian Labradoodles, led by Cindy Fairclough, holds a profoundly meaningful place in the foundation of Cardinal’s Crossing. Cindy is not only the breeder of our foundation stud, Bodhi, but also the breeder of Max, the guide and service dog whose life and legacy inspired the creation of our program.

​

Since 2018, Cindy has served as a trusted mentor, offering guidance, education, and steady support throughout our journey in the Australian Labradoodle community. Her program laid the groundwork for the values we carry forward today, including a deep commitment to temperament, health, structure, and purposeful placement.

​

Beyond mentorship, our relationship has grown into an ongoing professional collaboration. Over the years, we have worked closely with Cindy to support website development, social media and marketing management, and litter promotion, including assisting with advertising, responding to inquiries, and strengthening overall communication with prospective families. This collaboration reflects a shared belief in transparency, ethical breeding practices, and responsible stewardship of the breed.

​

We are honored to carry forward the foundation Cindy established through both Max and Bodhi, and deeply grateful for the mentorship and collaboration that helped shape Cardinal’s Crossing into the program it is today.
