We received Neptune a Black Lab at 10 weeks old. He was a fantastic pup, so sweet and full of life. After doing research, my wife and I reached out to Carole and she a great pleasure to work with! We went and visited her place and saw her dog and decided we were going to get a puppy from her! She kept us updated constantly about the litter and I can't say enough great things about her and her dogs!

We always kept Carole updated on Neptune and he loved to visit her place and play with all of her dogs and see his parents.

Carole provide great guidance throughout his life and was a pleasure to work with throughout the years.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful fantastic pup!

We were thinking about a puppy, when by chance I met an adorable puppy and it's owner. Given a wonderful referral, we called Carole. At the time, we were looking for a female yellow lab. On 12-25-2007, our beautiful black female lab was born. We were invited to visit Abby whenever we wished, until we could bring her home.

At her first appointment, our vet was so impressed with her he requested the name of the breeder. Carole is so much more than a breeder. She puts much thought and love into the process to insure a healthy puppy.

Abby is sweet & gentle & full of energy. She is wonderful with our grandchildren. Everywhere we go, people comment on what a beautiful lab she is.

Abby has stayed with Carole many times. It's so nice to know that she will be in their home and the quality of care is exceptional.
She is as excited to be there, as Carole is to see her. These are not just puppies to Carole, they're her fury babies. She is so happy to know they are with families that love and take care of them.

That chance meeting in 2007, led us to Carole who has become a wonderful friend and Carole has given us the most precious gift, Abby!

Thank you Carole
Susan & Bob

I have known Carole for 12 years now, in fact a bit longer. She is just wonderful along every dimension. We got our black Labrador (Rocco) from her in 2008, he was born on January 4th in fact and it was an exceptionally good experience. Carole is a great breeder and truly loves what she does, her clients and her dogs first and foremost. Since then we have interacted plentiful times, both to receive guidance about Rocco and, during the last five years, for boarding.

For a series of circumstances we had to travel abroad a lot more than expected and, after various experiments and comparisons, we decided that leaving Rocco (and, until she passed away last year, Greta, our boxer) with Carole was the perfect choice. I cannot find any dimension along which she is not nearly perfect: food, medical care, attention, sending pictures and reporting about the pets, being flexible about pick-up and drop-off time, adjust to my frequent changes of schedule, extending their stay, telling me about warning signs about their health ...

Just recently I left Rocco with her for about four months and I am getting ready to, unfortunately, leave him for about another four as I have to complete my sabbatical in Europe and China and cannot bring him with me. This saddens me and the only consolation is that I know he will be happy with Carole and come back healthier than I have left him.

Thanks Carole. mb

We've had the opportunity to purchase two CR Labrador pups over the last 2 years. It was such a positive experience, our neighbor also purchased a puppy from Carole during that same time frame. Here's what we feel sets Carole apart:

1.) She took time to get to know us and our needs in order to match us with the right puppies for our lifestyle.

2.) She is very knowledgeable about the science of breeding and raising puppies. But you can also tell she cares deeply about making sure her pups land in good homes after they leave her care.

3.) Having partnered with Carole for more than one puppy, we've had
plenty of opportunity for communication, questions, and visits to her kennels. Her follow up is excellent, and her kennels and play areas are always clean and safe.

4.) Both of our Puppies have grown to be robust and healthy with excellent temperament. They responded well to toddlers, strangers, other dogs, and house guests from the start

5.) In addition to breeding, we also took advantage of Carole's on site training and boarding services. We could see measurable progress in in our puppy's manners and basic command skills when he returned home. Carole was very straightforward with "training" us as well, so that we can consistently and effectively reinforce learning at home.

Finally, we still keep in touch with Carole with questions and pictures...so, we really feel like she's a member of our "extended" dog family. We have a partnership with Carole that has gone well beyond just taking our puppies home. And it's worth noting that even though we are about about 3.5 hours away we absolutely feel that the distance is worth travelling to work with her, and our experience has not been diminished because of that distance.

Our puppy is six months old now. He is such a good boy! The whole family is so in love with him. He is so mellow and well behaved and is the smartest dog I have ever owned. I researched breeders carefully and am so glad I chose Carole! If we ever add to our family I would definitely get another dog from CR Labradors.

A little over 5 years ago I went in search of a reputable breeder of English Labs and was extremely fortunate to find Carole. We communicated for well over a year and I decided to bring home a yellow male. I was unable to go to Carols to pick out the pup and relied on her expertise in picking out the right one for me and my family. That's how Hobbes became a part of our family. He was a wonderful addition, smart,laid back, gentle, and very loving. We have been blessed to have him for almost 4 years.
Just a few months ago I had the opportunity to add a sweet, yellow female which we named Cassie. She is now 8 months old and is just as gentle, smart and very loving as Hobbes. She has excelled in her basic training classes and is now joining my daughter, in her office, as a therapy puppy. So far, she has exceeded expectations and has been very well received.
I am, and will always be, grateful to have found such an exceptional breeder as Carole. The pups are born in home and raised by her family, which gives them a loving beginning, before they are sent on to live with the fortunate family's who take them home. We are notified of the birth and have regular updates along with photos of the pups as they grow. This has been a wonderful experience. Thank you ,Carole. We all have been truly blessed to have found you.

I highly recommend CR Labradors as a reputable lab breeder. Carole is so knowledgable about the breed and isn't a breeder who's only concern is how many litters she can sell. I found CR Labradors on this website and was so lucky to have a breeder so close to where I live. Thanks Carole!!! We love Betty!

We can not Thank Carole enough for all she did for our boy "O" during his 6 months of training at her home. Our boy "O" went out to Carole as Can CH/UJJ UKC GRCH Casbar's the Big "O" CCG, TDI and came home with his WC, SHR, and eventually his JH titles. Thanks again to Carole for all of the time and training that you did with "O" to help him suceed and show his balanced titles.

Carole is a good lady. She has trained 2 of my labs and owns another one that is now running hunt tests at 7 months. I like what she has done well enough that I'm getting ready to send another girl out to her in May.

Carole has been helpful in completing some genetic testing for my dogs. She shares info about progress, successes and challenges that the dogs are facing. Occasionally, I've gotten photos and videos of their training.

Carole does a fine job. Brian
