Meet the breeder

I'm Faith T., the breeder behind North Star Retrievers located in Rock Hill, SC. We like to cross field line males with show line females for a well-rounded look and temperament. All our puppies are raised in our home surrounded by plenty of love and socialization with our 8 children, 6 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 excellent family companions.

Q. & A. with Faith

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in our home, extensively socialized with children, cats, other dogs, household noises, a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces and textures, sights and sounds. 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 health guarantee and a new puppy kit to take to their new homes. We also provide lifetime support for any questions or concerns you should ever have with your puppy.
  • 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 a kennel on my property.

Getting a puppy from Faith

Faith has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Faith partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Once puppies are six weeks old and have had their health check at the vet and first vaccinations (and personalities have had a bit of a chance to develop), we schedule a day of appointments for everyone to come out and meet and choose their puppy in person. If you can’t make it in person, we will send lots of photos and videos. Pick order is in the order of deposits received. Puppies go home at eight weeks old, as it is very important to their psychological development for them to remain with mom and littermates until that age. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,000 - $3,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Price includes AKC limited registration, first rounds of shots and deworming, a new puppy kit, vet health exam, and our health guarantee. We also provide lifetime support for any questions or concerns you should ever have with your puppy. We ask for a deposit to secure your pick of the litter. Deposits are non-refundable unless your choice of color & gender is unavailable, but they are transferable to any future litters.”

Contract & health guarantee

Faith may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Faith offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Faith directly.

All contracts are handled securely through Good Dog.

    Faith was very responsible and accomodating with picking up my puppy from a different state. We met up at the airport right in the departures, it was great. Here is my beautiful girl Kora, great with other dogs, children, and very active. I can not reccommend Faith enough!!! I will be looking for another puppy through her.

    Faith is WONDERFUL! She has the biggest heart for her dogs and the sweet little puppies she raises. She was always willing to answer any questions and made us feel so included with all of the updates and pictures! Our sweet Rucker is so smart and has the calmest temperament🩵

    Faith and her family are clearly lovk g dog owners and my baby girl is a beautiful intelligent dog. I sent her a message months before and she followed up with me later on and sent all the infoI needed about the parents, bloodlines, and physical and mental characteristics of the puppies and their parents. Her responses were always reliable and timely. She let me come after I got off work (extended her hours). She helped me pick out the perfect puppybased on my family's needs and the fact that I already had a young adult lab at home. Aftercare was also timely and helpful! Excellent family breeder experience!

    I loved getting my little Zeus from Faith, she made it so easy, and was always there when I had questions, even after we got him! As well as she always kept me in loop with what’s going on with this little guy, it was so hard for me to choose my furbaby, I was stuck on one puppy from faith in particular, and I ended up switching to the pup that was made for me and my home, Zeus only been with with me for a day so far and he’s learning so much, very quickly, can’t wait to see plenty more years to come with my little pup! Thank you so much faith from our now perfect little family to yours!
