Our mission at Crowley’s Ridge is to build and breed the best possible dogs available for others and also pass our love with each generation. We are dedicated to responsible breeding practices and continually enhance our program while learning new methods for breeding and training.
At Crowley’s Ridge, we are anxious to share our blessings. Our kennel is built on a 40 acre Missouri farm and provides plenty wooded areas and ponds for the pleasure of our Labs. Our region is noted for its swampland area and a natural flyway for ducks and many of our puppies are in the field retrieving today. Our family purchased their first purebred lab in 1973 and appreciate the intelligence and dedication of the breed. Finally in 2017, we began a family business to share our Labrador lineage.
All breeding dogs at our kennel have been chosen for their good looks, stable confirmation, genetic breeding codes and intelligence. These qualities consistently produce puppies of high value. Our breeding program for females and males includes a full panel test of DNA and genetic codes through Embark and is posted on each parent’s profile. This offers transparency and guarantees that the parents are healthy and desirable. This also ensures that our puppies will not be affected with diseases that will cripple or harm their health.
Training a young puppy is essential and we implement obedience and skills from birth. Puppies are acquainted with basic experiences before they leave our kennel creating habits and capability to learn. Puppies are handled continuously at birth until they leave our kennel, also creating great social skills. They are acclimated to various textures, sounds, and all tother dogs in our kennel. They have a full health check at 6 weeks and prescribed vaccinations by our licensed veterinarian.
In 2021 we expanded our kennel to incorporate the help of our son and his family of five children. The puppies are getting great social skills! They are located on a acre farm in Booneville, Missouri.
We work hard to ensure that many of our breeding females and males be trained with CGC and CGCA titles, Therapy Dog International (TDI) and now a Trick Dog title.
We hope you will contact us to learn more about our program. We love to talk ‘labs’ and share with others.
