About Us

Jeff and Sharla Ports have been raising and training Labradors Retrievers together since early 2001. They both share the same passion for providing a fun and loving environment for each new puppy in order for them to learn, grow and thrive.

From day one, Sharla is there with each newborn puppy to check them out, clean them up & even rubs their bellies to calm them and to start out showing them affection.

Jeff’s love for dogs started at an early age. He started hunting when he was 18 years old & at this point, he got to really know his way around hunting dogs such as Labradors and Brittany’s.

Jeff & Sharla’s overall goal is to socialize each new pup in a way that when it’s time to go home with their new families, each puppy will have been on so many adventures around the farm that almost nothing you throw at them will be out of their comfort zone. It’s important for puppies to be able to quickly adapt & feel comfortable in new environments.

At BlackJack Kennels, we have very high standards and a great track record of providing our customers with excellent companions. Whether you’d like a family dog to love, play with and care for.. or if you’re looking for an excellent hunting dog with the same great qualities, make us your “pick of the litter.”

We promise to go the extra mile in helping answer all of your questions or concerns that you might have about owning your first Labrador Retriever.
