Mary Crabtree

Mary Crabtree breeds Labrador retrievers in Frenchtown, MT, serving Western Montana near Missoula. With more than a decade of experience and active participation in recognized breed clubs, she ensures that each dog is health tested for hip dysplasia and eye conditions.

Her dogs live in a home setting with regular access to secure outdoor space, where they benefit from daily interaction and structured socialization. Puppies are introduced early to basic training exercises and family routines to foster stable temperaments suited to companion or working roles. Her breeding program emphasizes balanced structure, sound movement and affectionate natures that adapt well to active families.

Several graduates have gone on to support programs and family therapy initiatives in the surrounding communities. Mary maintains climate-controlled kennels and follows a nutrition plan tailored to each stage of growth, overseen by a local veterinarian. Her litters are limited in size to ensure personalized care for each puppy.
