Meet the breeder

I'm Adam S., the breeder behind Top Shot Retrievers located in Wapakoneta, OH. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded Labrador Retriever puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us!

Q. & A. with Adam

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Just looking to always improve the genetics and produce the best pups we can!
  • What makes your program special?

    First off we go the extra mile and do all the healthbtesting in ensure you are getting a well bred puppy. We also strive to always breed with other championship sires to also maintain a high intellectual level. A smart pup will learn obediance and potty training so much faster.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
