Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon P., the breeder behind Don’t Stop Retrieving, LLC located in Maryland.

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Staying at home with my little ones opened an opportunity for me. That being able to breed our sweet girl, Reese. I wanted to bring the same joy and unconditional love she does for us to other families.
  • What makes your program special?

    While the most important thing to us is the health of our puppies, we also strive to make sure that the newest addition fits your family and lifestyle.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
