Meet the breeder

I'm Jeannine S., the breeder behind Archer Lodge Labradors located in Archer Lodge, NC. We have been breeding dogs for over six years and fell in love with the breed after bringing home her first Labrador in 2019. That’s when we knew Labradors were something special. Each dog has a unique personality, and all interact daily with our children and their friends helping to raise confident, well-socialized puppies.

Q. & A. with Jeannine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We initially got into breeding because we loved our two Labradors (Gracie/Duke) so much we wanted to breed them. From there we learned more and more about the breed standard and how to do things right from our wonderful mentors!
  • What makes your program special?

    What makes us stand apart is our determination to keep our line healthy and happy. Not only is health testing (Genetic Testing and OFA's.) important but so is socialization and temperament. We work hands on with all of our dogs and puppies to bring you the best of the best. We strive to bring healthy and breed standard Labrador retrievers to our customers.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We had a great experience working with Jeannine at Archer Lodge Labradors. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. It’s clear that she takes good care of her dogs and puts thought into their health and temperament. We’re very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Jeannine to anyone looking for a Labrador from a responsible breeder. We love our dog Cheddar and he is growing into a wonderful lab.

    Overall a quality process and a great new addition to our family. This was our first time using Good Dog (I was skeptical until a neighbor raved about their puppy experience). I researched breeders and narrowed it down to four. Archer Lodge was our first choice even though it was a 7 hour drive. Well worth it! Crystal was extremely responsive for the 8 weeks leading up to our pickup - very thoughtful communication every time. We picked up Mazie 11 days ago and she is all the things we hoped for in a new puppy. It was clear that she was from a caring home. We just love her and a big thank you to Crystal for a great experience and a sweet new puppy! Highly recommended :)

    Crystal was very responsive and answered all of our questions during the buying process. Our puppy is everything we hoped that would be. She’s a great disposition and a great balance of boldness and calmness. She is super smart. It is obvious Crystal spent time preparing them for a new homes. I would not hesitate to buy from Crystal again as she gave us exactly what we’re looking for.
