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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • 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.

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

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
