Meet the breeder
I'm Justin C., the breeder behind XOM Retrievers located in Conroe, TX. We raise and train lifelong family companions, as well as competition hunting Labrador Retrievers and English Setters. Our dogs have great on and off switches. We focus on health, temperament, and socialization in order to produce top-quality dogs. We are responsible breeders and want to make sure we are doing our part to give our dogs the best life possible.
Q. & A. with Justin
Why did you start breeding?
Being an avid waterfowler and after launching our non-profit six years ago, we came to realize that we needed top-quality dogs with the correct temperament for the task and environments that we ask them to be in. We started breeding to produce the perfect dogs for our program, and it has been a wonderful experience.What makes your program special?
We are very selective about our breeding dogs. All of our dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. The health and temperament of our puppies is our number one priority. We are very conscious about who purchases our puppies, always ensuring that they are given the best life possible.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Justin, XOM Retrievers were amazing to work with. He was super responsive and informative. Any questions I had were responded to and elaborated on quickly. Additional information on caring for Jack now and going forward was also provided with out asking. They kept me in the loop with pictures of Jack (Boy2) while we awaited for him to be 8 weeks. Jack is an amazing brown Lab and you can tell that he had started his training while in their care. A beautiful dog and I would definitely seek their assistance in the future if needed. In additional Justin shared and assisted with a flight nanny situation that was great. Our puppy arrived safely! Thank you so much!

Justin was very communicative and accommodating in acquiring our puppy. He was quick to respond with any questions we had and made the pick up very easy. Our little girl is so smart and exactly what we were looking for in a pup. If you’re looking for a lab I highly recommend Justin with XOM retrievers!
