Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind North Star Retrievers located in Rock Hill, SC. All our puppies are raised in our home surrounded by plenty of love and socialization with our 8 children, 3 dogs and 4 cats! We begin working on basic obedience, retrieving, and introduction to water (weather permitting). Pups will be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed, and come with a new puppy kit to take to their new homes. Past puppies have gone on to be trained as hunting retrievers, therapy dogs, and family companions.
