  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test

    We had a wonderful experience working with Tracy at Shoreline Retrievers. We absolutely loved the weekly posts and through those we were able to watch the puppies grow. It really made us feel like we were a part of the process. Tracy was great about responding quickly and answering any questions. The pickup process went smoothly and we were delighted with the binder full of useful information we received. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Tracy was fantastic to work with! She answered all of our questions and shared photos and videos of the puppies leading up to pickup day, which made the wait even more exciting. The day before and on pickup day, she communicated with us regularly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her home was easy to find, and she was incredibly patient while we took our time choosing our new puppy. Once we made our choice, Tracy had a bag packed with puppy essentials, along with a blanket carrying our puppy's scent to help with the transition. She also provided a binder containing all of the necessary paperwork and helpful information. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring

    Such an incredible experience working with Tracy and their labs ❤️ Group collaboration with all of the families the puppies will home to, frequent updates from the breeder, extensive knowledge about the breed, and a warm welcoming when you arrive to meet your new family member :) I’m excited to continue contact with Tracy and show just how great Gingy turns out!

    Tracy was wonderful to work with and always incredibly responsive to any questions we had about our sweet girl. From the beginning, it was clear how much love and care goes into raising these puppies. Our chocolate Lab, Ruby, has been the best addition to our family, and we are so thankful we chose Shoreline Retrievers. Tracy sent Ruby home with blankets and other thoughtful items to help make the transition easier, along with a binder full of helpful information that we truly appreciated. Having all of that guidance made bringing home a new puppy so much less overwhelming. Ruby is a beautiful, healthy, and incredibly sweet girl. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and have already recommended Shoreline Retrievers to family members and friends who have met Ruby and are considering adding a puppy to their own family. We highly recommend Shoreline Retrievers!

    Working with Shoreline Retrievers was amazing! They kept us updated on how the puppies were doing at least once a week if not more. Pick up was so easy and they were so friendly. I highly recommend!
