I'm Mary Ann F., the breeder behind Chrismill Labradors located in Blandon, PA. We breed quality English type Labrador Retrievers. We have been involved with dogs all of our lives and have had Labs since 1987. Our Labradors are a very large part of our family, and it is truly an honor to love and be loved by these wonderful dogs. We strive to breed for versatility including show prospects, obedience, therapy, and most importantly, family companionship.
Q. & A. with Mary Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I've loved animals all of my life and we always had a rescue dog while growing up. I got my first Lab as an adult and fell in love with the breed. This inspired me to breed the healthiest Labs with their true and unique temperament. I decided to wait until I was financially able to do this so I could provide the dogs and puppies with the best care.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program focuses on producing Labradors with correct conformation, the wonderful Labrador temperament, and genetic soundness. Our breeding stock is all health tested prior to producing new puppies. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Labrador Retriever line.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
