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.

    I am delighted to share with you what a wonderful experience it was to interact with Jassica throughout the journey that lead to the newest addition to our family, Willow. Jassica’s approach to breeding quality pups is second to none in my mind. Completely transparent and 100% responsive to all our requests for information. We loved the weekly updates and pictures that allowed us to track Willow’s growth. Willow is so very intelligent! She has an amazing personality and temperament that fills our home with love and joy. It is with enthusiasm and without reservation that I recommend Jassica!!!

    I’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.

    Jassica was very wonderful to deal with. Having never bought from a breeder before she explained the process very professionally and definitely knew her dogs. My Vet was very impressed with the paperwork she provided. We are very happy with our little George from Bemidji.

    Abby M.

    Working with Jassica was wonderful! The love and care they pour into their dogs is evident. Our boy Bob is super sweet and smart! He brings so much joy, silliness, and love into our lives. We would absolutely work with Jassica and Northern Star Elite Quality Labrador Retrievers again
