Q. & A. with Jassica
Why did you start breeding?
We have always had labs in our home since we got married over 22 years ago and had the occasional litter here and there. Then when my husband lost his long time Hunting companion and we found ourselves unable to decide on just one Northern Star Elite Quality Labrador Retrievers was born. Our dog are family too and we breed to share this amazing breed with others.What makes your program special?
We alow our families to pick there own puppy or should I say puppy pick them. Which means we also allow families to visit/view their puppy in person. Once you choose one of our puppies you receive individualized weekly updates on your puppy with pictures included. This allows you to follow along with us on your puppys growth and milestones made. This is our unique one on one attention we give every new member of our bird dog family.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.

+6I’m so thankful to get our puppy from such a great place! They respond to messages and questions quickly and are open to talking over the phone as well. It was so fun to get updates, pictures and videos, each week on our pup before our pick up date. Our puppy is very healthy. Half the day he is very playful and half the day he is such a cuddle bug. The perfect balance we were looking for.

We loved working with Jassica! She was so responsive and knowledgeable whenever we had questions. She sent weekly updates, which we always looked forward to, and sent us home with lots of helpful information about what to expect with a new puppy. Our pup is SO sweet, and we can tell she was handled often. She's been such a perfect addition to our family, and we all adore her! We would absolutely recommend Jassica to anyone looking for a lab!!

+6Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with. Weekly status updates and pictures until Duke was ready to come home. She answered all my questions, kept me informed along the way and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule when picking him up. Sent him home with a bunch of goodies too! We love him very much.
