“Pups will be picked in the order deposits were received and will be made in person when the pups are ready to go home. This lets you interact and pick a pup of your choosing instead of just a picture. This way we can also see you and know each puppies temperament and match a lasting match”

“Price includes Health Care Guarantee, Health check certificate, first vaccination, proper wormings and nail trims, microchipping, AKC registration, and a take home tote filled with essentials. We ask for a nonrefundable $300 to cover the cost of raising the puppy til ready to go. If for any reason something should happen and we would not have a puppy for the client it is then refunded.”
Tracy 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 Tracy 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 Tracy directly.

Labrador Retriever
About Harley
Harley is a sweet girl we recently added to our breeding program in 2026. She's the queen bee! While she's our only non-chocolate girl, we know she's just a dark chocolate girl in a black wrapper!
Great health testing

Labrador Retriever
About Whiskey
Whiskey is the prime example of everything that you could ever want in a Labrador. He's by John's side every second of the day and is happy out hunting or just laying on the couch. Once he completed his HRCH title we brought him home and he's settled right in to being his dads buddy.
Great health testing

Labrador Retriever
About Piper
Piper maybe small but that doesn't stop her she is a high energy machine. This girl does not know how to stop! We absolutely love her size it was one of main things that drew us in. When she achieved her HR title we decided to let her come back home from training to live the pampered life.
Great health testing

Labrador Retriever
About River
We were Honored to have River join our Kennel! This Lady kills it in the field but at the same time is the sweetest girl in the home. She's extremely easy going but knows when there is work to be done. We couldn't ask for a better example of how the Labrador breed should be!
Great health testing

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!
