What we do
Full English Labrador Retrievers, health-tested and raised in our home. Here is how each puppy is cared for before becoming part of your family.
If you're searching for English Lab puppies for sale in North Carolina, Mason's Inlet Retriever's offers full English Labrador Retrievers raised in a family home in Hampstead, NC, just minutes from Wilmington and Topsail Island. These are not kennel dogs. They grow up in the living room, get handled daily, and learn what a family home looks, sounds, and feels like long before they ever leave.
Every breeding dog at Mason's Inlet Retriever's is OFA certified and Pawprint Genetics cleared, and every puppy comes with a documented health guarantee.
Mason's Inlet puppies are raised in the family home from birth, handled every day, and introduced to real-life sights, sounds, and routines before they ever leave.

How it works
Litters are small and usually reserved months before birth. Contact Jennifer to ask about upcoming litters and get your name in early.
A $500 non-refundable deposit holds your place in the reservation order. Jennifer will keep you informed as the litter develops.
Jennifer shares updates as the puppies grow. You will know your puppy before pickup day.
The remaining balance is due at pickup. Your puppy goes home with a training portfolio documenting everything learned in the first weeks of life.
You have three days to have a licensed veterinarian examine your puppy. Hips and elbows are guaranteed to 12 months on NuVet vitamins.
Why Mason Inlet
We'll show you the work, the materials, and the warranty in writing before a single dollar is spent. Below is the short version of how we earn the trust.
Every dog in our program is screened through OFA and Pawprint Genetics, so your puppy starts life clear of the genetic issues that matter most in the breed.
Our puppies live indoors with us, handled and socialized every day, so they come to you confident, calm, and ready for family life.
Crate, potty, and basic obedience begin early, and each puppy goes home with a detailed training portfolio so you can keep the momentum going.

Who we are
Jennifer Merritt has been raising Labrador Retrievers for more than 20 years, and she runs Mason's Inlet Retriever's the way most breeders say they do but rarely do: one to two litters per year, raised inside her home, handled every single day. Drake and Malibu are the heart of the program, both OFA certified for hips and elbows and cleared through Pawprint Genetics before any breeding takes place. Basic potty, crate, and obedience training starts at three weeks old, and every puppy goes home with a detailed training portfolio so the new family isn't starting from scratch. Mason's Inlet is an AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. breeder, and puppies are typically reserved months before they're born. Reach out early if you're serious about a puppy.
