North Star Retrievers

About North Star Retrievers

Hello, my name is Zoe Burba. For about 10 years I have specialized in raising Golden Retrievers for show, sports, service work, therapy, and companionship. My goal in raising Retrievers has always been to better the breed I love so much. I strive to produce the healthiest pups possible at the most affordable price. My first goal is to produce puppies that will not suffer from any genetic ailments. All of my dogs have been tested for the breed recommended health testing, all having passed with top scores. In addition to extensive health testing I have not had any cancer in my dogs or pups. My second goal is to produce the best looking pups, whether they will be shown or not. All of my dogs are champions themselves or have champion lineage which will exhibit desirable breed standard. Most having a very typey, blocky look. The sire of the litters has excelled in all areas of showmanship in which we’ve participated in. He has numerous championships and titles. In 2019 he finished as the 7th Golden Retriever in the country through UKC. In 2021 he won BIS (best in show) at a Golden Retriever specialty. The key to picking out a puppy is to first pick out a reputable, trustworthy breeder who is raising Goldens for the betterment of the breed. It is very easy to find a puppy these days. However it's getting tough to find breeders who are in it for the right purposes, with quality dogs to match. One thing that sets my line apart from most breeders is that I show my dogs in conformation, as well as other sports. Another thing that sets us apart is that they are raised in a family home. I am not a kennel breeder, we spend day and night with our pups. They are incredibly happy, healthy little pups. They love human companionship. We raise the puppies with the Puppy Culture method, and start on the rule of 7’s. We perform biosensory stimulation to the pups as well as a technique which will help prevent a pup from developing car sickness. The puppies are started on basic obedience, house training, and crate training. In addition to that we take the pups on car rides to help get them used to it. Each individual pup will have hours of one on one socializing, making the process of taking home a new puppy much easier and more fun! Calls preferred. 4402282911
