Meet the breeder
I'm Colette S., the breeder behind Cribstone Labradors located in Brunswick, ME. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Colette
Why did you start breeding?
In the 1970's, I had a rescue dog that was a Labrador Retriever. Years later, even after having another rescue that was a Springer mix, I knew that Labs were it for me. I love the breed, and I learned everything I possibly could so that I would be prepared to become a responsible breeder. It has been an honor working with these incredible dogs for all these years.What makes your program special?
I only breed every few years so that I can give each litter and puppy the attention and care they deserve. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, rally, obedience, and as beloved companions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
