Matthew Clabaugh

Matthew Clabaugh, Labrador retrievers, Longmont, CO, is a family breeder serving Boulder County and the Front Range near Denver. With over a decade of experience, he maintains AKC registration for all litters, follows recommended health screenings for hip, elbow, and eye conditions, and supports national retriever club standards. Puppies are raised indoors with daily socialization, regular exposure to children and other pets, access to secure outdoor play areas, and enrichment activities that build confidence and curiosity.

His approach emphasizes balanced temperaments suited for both active families and therapy work. Litter introductions include early exposure to basic training cues, positive reinforcement techniques, and veterinary-verified wellness plans. Each puppy leaves with a health record, nutritional guidance, and support that extends beyond adoption.

Regular follow-ups help families address nutrition, training, and health questions. The breeding program values longevity of working lines and reflects a history of careful selection on temperament and drive.
