Q. & A. with Shayne
Why did you start breeding?
I started my program in 2015 with my beautiful girl Bailey who is now retired. I've always had an interest in genetics and want to continue my program and better the breed by adding to the breed standard. I love being able to get the best mix of a breeding pair both in looks and personality.What makes your program special?
I take huge pride in my dogs and only want to add to the breed. I choose my parents based on their excellent qualities. I also spend a lot of hands-on time raising the puppies to ensure they are well socialized and adjusted before going to their new homes. When it comes to my dogs i go the extra mile!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.

My wife Amie and I decided to start the search for a new family dog through Good Dog shortly after our family dog Quincy had passed away spring of 2024. It took nearly 4 months of back and fourth between which bread of dog to land on and when to make the decision. In the fall we visited a local retriever breeder and made the decision that a black or silver lab was our go to next dog. We found Ridgeline Retrievers through Good dog and they had a female black lab available for the week of Christmas. After many questions with Shayne and getting that warm feeling that we were dealing with a professional breeder, we decided to set it in stone. Shayne was so accommodating and such a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Ridgeline Retrievers to anyone looking for a professional breeder.
