Kellyn,
Just wanted to let you know how Luna was doing. She is so smart in every way that you could ever want in a pup. At less than 5 months she was retrieving doves & loving it. Then we took a trip up to Canada to work on some ducks as you can see we limited out & she hit every mark that she was given. My buddies can not believe how well she is doing at a young age. Your bloodlines show how important your dogs are to you. The intelligence in Luna is unbelievable,when we talked about a hunting dog you told me what you could offer me & she is above & beyond that. At home she is a fun loving family dog, but when it’s time to go to the field she knows its time to hunt. Thanks again for a great dog & a hunting partner.

I cant tell you how blessed I feel to have come across you as a breeder but more importantly as a person. Your ethics and heart are second to none.
It has been such a blast this whole year since we arrived at the airport to pick up Brea Anna and see her mature into such a beautiful and loving part of our family. Her early gentleness and compassion was a direct result of the time you and your family spent with her and I really appreciate the tender loving care you gave not just her but our family as a whole.

Well, it has been almost 2 weeks since our love affair with little Brooke began… Everyone is totally blown away with her, she is the most perfect little girl in the whole world. I worried to death all day the 26th of March, because the poor little thing would be on the airplane almost 9 hours, but when they opened up the door at Delta cargo receiving, she was all wags and licks, just happy as a clam. She rode in the car like she had done it her whole life. When we arrived home, once again, it was like she had always lived there. Brooke is not afraid of anything and has social graces way beyond her age. I checked out the testimonials on your web site and it would seem like this is normal for one of your puppies. We have taken her to many large social functions and she mingles like a pro. I am so greatful for your attentiveness to your puppies, she is a dream…..Thank you again. Oh, I forgot, I do have one gripe with you. My husband is so in love with her that he insists she sleeps with us in bed. Not sure how that will work, but Brooke doesn’t mind at all! She does sleep the whole night thru. You sent me too good of a dog 🙂 I will keep in touch.
Take care,
We Love our little Luna so much! She is the perfect addition to our family. We just cant believe how smart she is! I think she understand English!!! She likes everything we like: road trips, camping, boating, fishing, and she’s learning how to be Josh’s hunting partner. Luna is SO smart and obedient: she even won ‘Best Retriever’ in her puppy class (up against 3 other labs’). Luna was definitely worth the wait. We are so thankful to have Luna

Dear Lance and Kellyn,
We have been extremely happy with her. She does keep us on our toes! She is quite the swimmer and retrieves on land and in water. She has a nose on her beyond her age. She is finding coveys of wild quail on the property and her manners are getting better every day. David started letting her lay in his lap when he was in his recliner shortly after we brought her home. I warned him she would be 65 pounds and still wanting in his lap. She is now 45 pounds and you guessed it, she still thinks she should be in his lap. When 1 am working with her, she looks right into my eyes like she knows what we are trying to accomplish and does very well. We have been dove hunting a bit. She goes and gets the doves but by the time she gets them to me, they are pretty mangled. We’re working on it. My older lab, Josie was pretty “hard mouthed” when she was young but grew out of it as she matured. I have attached a few pictures, hope you can open them. Take care!

The Scansen Family
Our Charcoal Silver Lab Scarlett has been a wonderful addition to our family, she is just 10 months old now. She has a very special personality. I have never had a dog nuzzle up to my neck and show so much love as she does. People have commented how calm she was for a pup from the moment we brought her home at 8 weeks old. Scarlett minds well and is a quick learner. She hos natural retrieving ability. Scarlett will dive down in the water to retrieve a ball that is sinking. She never gives up, staying under water for 10 seconds at times. Our kids love to entertain friends by showing off Scarlett’s stellar performances. Scarlett possesses a natural mothering instinct. When we are in the pool Scarlett will pace around the edge making sure we are all safe. We appreciate all the time and care Silver Star Kennels put into their breeding program. Lance and Kellyn have taught us so much about dogs and we are so blessed to have one of their dogs as part of our family. Our lives have been enriched by Scarlett and know when we are ready for another dog we will be picking up another Silver Lab from Lance and Kellyn. We can’t thank you enough!
