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 7 children, 9 dogs and 4 cats! We begin working on basic obedience, retrieving, and introduction to water (weather permitting). Pups will be vet checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and DNA health tested through Embark. Puppies come with our health guarantee and a go home bag that includes training treats, toys, and a blanket with mom and littermates’ scent on it. We also provide lifetime support for any questions or concerns you should ever have with your puppy. Past puppies have gone on to be trained as hunting retrievers, therapy dogs, and much loved family companions.

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 weekend 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 plenty 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 includes AKC limited registration, vaccinations, deworming, DNA health testing, microchip, treats, toys, blanket, 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.”
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.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Faith.

Not exactly an update, but Henry’s family did send me this pic of their very handsome Beau x Pearl boy on Independence Day. He looks so much like his dam, but with a light fox red coloring like his sire. 😍 We are hoping and praying there will be a fox red female in our next Beau x Pearl litter to add to our program. 🙏

About Bonnie
Beautiful Bonnie Blue comes from English show champion parents and bloodlines on both sides of her pedigree. Her sire also has a working title and comes from a breeder in Florida that strives to preserve the beauty of the Labrador alongside the working abilities of the retriever. Bonnie is definitely a stunning example of their efforts! She has a very sweet, calm temperament, is very intelligent, and learns quickly. She absolutely loves children, people, pets and cuddles. She also loves a good run in the woods, a game of fetch, and retrieving on our pond. She loves to be with us and get involved with whatever we are doing. She is also calm and easy-going and able to chill out on her own when she’s not the center of attention (as she very much deserves to be!). Bonnie has produced two exceptionally calm and beautiful litters of puppies so far. She will be taking a one year furlough and then will have her last 1-2 litters before she retires. We will definitely be keeping at least one of these very special puppies to add to our program. Please contact us if you are interested in getting on a waitlist for one of her puppies going home in early 2027.

About Beau
Beau’s pedigree is filled with field champions and hunting champions (his dam’s sire is Mitchell River Redman). His parents are both family-owned hunting dogs. This boy absolutely lives to retrieve! As soon as he sees you coming, he starts looking around for a ball or a stick to play fetch. Since he was a puppy, he could keep up to our older dogs retrieving on the water. He’s very sweet, intelligent, affectionate, and learns quickly. He loves hanging out with his people and has a beautiful soft, thick coat. His dam was a fox red American and his sire was a big yellow English. His puppies so far have received both stunning looks and excellent retrieving drive from their grandparents.

Faith was amazing to work with! She was always responsive and shared helpful insights on what to do, and what to avoid, when raising a Labrador puppy. I learned so much through the process, and it’s clear the puppies were raised in a loving, caring home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy! Mabel is already my best friend :)

Faith quickly responded to all of my questions. From day one, we were smitten with our Fred girl. She is very bright and already knows sit, stay and shake (always with the right paw). I could not be more pleased with our experience with Faith and North Star Retrivers. Our Fred nearly doubled her weight in 3 weeks. Fred gets along great with our 6 year old chocolate, Lou. Thank you Faith for a great chocolate lab puppy experience.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new puppy! The experience with the breeder was wonderful from start to finish. Our puppy is healthy, happy, playful, and adjusting beautifully to our home. The breeder was communicative, caring, and clearly dedicated to raising well-socialized puppies. We truly appreciate all of the updates, guidance, and support throughout the process. Thank you, Good Dog, for helping connect us with such an amazing breeder and wonderful new family member!

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🩵
