     We picked out our pup from Hat Creek Farm after doing a lot of research. Sam was our first dog ever so we expressed to Jean our desire to have a wonderful pet. Jean really helped us by watching the puppies develope for the first seven weeks of their lives so that when we picked out our puppy we were getting a pet that would be loving and calm and a great inside as well as outside dog. WOW did it turn out that way! Sam loves to retrieve but when we see her and talk to her, that tail wags a mile a minute! Never have we had an experience like this- where from day one, Sam came in and won our hearts. She also prefers an omelet instead of dog food for breakfast so it is possible to spoil them!

Dear Jean,
     We can't thank you enough for the blessing and joy you have brought to our family. "Bella" is wonderful! We are constantly complimented on how beautiful she is. She has finished AKC puppy school and is now in intermediate school along with a tracking and agility group. We're hoping to train her as a therapy dog in the future.
Sincerely,
Chad and Leah Hadfield

     I had just lost my lab in August 08 when I began searching for quality breeders. Hat Creek stood out among many because it was clear that these pups were kept in a clean and loving environment. And it was just a feel good website. So we took a ride to Perry and had a look-see at seventeen adorable, happy, well cared for and socialized cuties. It was immediately obvious that Jean O'Connor LOVED her animals and knew what she was doing in order to make them the best dogs they could be.
       We picked up our new bundle of love in September and he is now at almost 6 months old and just the best dog we ever had with the BEST disposition! Our vet was very impressed with him and amazed at his calm demeanor. He's really filled the hole in my heart left by losing my beautiful agility dog Groucho.
     So here's the deal.....My pup is a most beautiful, playful, extremely SMART and a very affectionate shadow who is totally focused on his Mom and Dad. You could not go wrong picking one of Hat Creek's puppies, for even though I don't know Jean well, I DO know first hand that she is a top-flight lab breeder who gives first class care and lots of love in handling her beautiful labs, both adult and young ones. I will always recommend Hat Creek Farms to anyone without reservation.

Sincerely,
 Margaret and Dick Wilde

     Jeannie O'Connor was a little girl with a big, feisty mare that behaved very badly on occasion. She came to me because she had heard that I could retrain her mare, but more importantly, that I would be kind in doing so. That defines Jeannie ! That was many years ago and the beginning of a lifelong friendship. The mare turned out to be a real lady - and little Jeannie grew up to be a real lady too. Ms O'Connor has many years of experience in the breeding and training of dogs. She is honest, very capable and, above all, she is kind to her "critters". I can recommend her highly and without reservation.

     It has been our pleasure to know and work with Jean of HAT CREEK FARM. She has bred to our yellow male Labrador ~ CHASER'S YUKON HUNTER MH ~ ("CABO") that has produced outstanding litters which have maintained the high standard of the breed including outstanding looks, personalities and conformation. Jean has a knack of matching the right male and the right female to produce genetically superior puppies. Also, Jean's ability to match the correct owner to the right puppy is critical in being successful when you bring that new family member home! My best advice is to listen to Jean, she will not lead you astray !

     My husband, Neal, and I have known Jean O'Connor of Hat Creek Farm since around 1997. She has been actively involved in breeding wonderful Labrador Retrievers since we have known her. We attended church together for several years before she moved to the country to pursue her dream of living on a farm and breeding top quality retrievers. My first contact with Jean was shortly after losing our beloved Herschel, a black Lab. I contacted her because I was aware of her rapidly growing reputation in our area. Our timing was bad because she had no puppies available at the time. In my desperation, our hoped for yellow Lab turned into a wheaten colored Scottie, a wonderful animal, but definitely not a Lab!
      Jean is a person of integrity, who truly cares about her animals and the families which adopt them. Any monetary gains (sometimes I wonder how there are any) are secondary. She diligently tries to match the right dog to the right person or family. She spends a lot of time with each littter socialzing them and determining their personalities. I have no problem recommending a retriever from Hat Creek Farm to anyone. When the time is right for our next retriever, it will definitely come from Jean at Hat Creek. If you have never met her beautiful Belle or Handsome Gus, or seen a finely bred retriever puppy, it is definitely worth a trip to the country!
