We are finally moved into our lovely new home! We are located just off of I-81 between Staunton VA and Lexington VA! All of our Labrador babies are born and raised in our home, constantly supervised and given plenty of love and attention and each of our adults is a valued member of our family, rotated in our home regularly and loved. If you are more concerned with being impressed with an elaborate "high profile" kennel situation, we are not the breeders for you. Our home is where our dogs spend most of their time and everything we do is focused around the well being, happiness and enjoyment of our fur kids. "A good Labrador is one that will be willing to enter Coldwater"

| Responsible and dedicated local foster homes are needed for our therapy dog program. Please contact us for more information. Our PerPETual Therapy Dog site will be up shortly.
| CLICK HERE TO SEE AVAILABLE PUPPIES & ADULTS We occasionally have black, yellow and chocolate puppies born throughout the year that we place with approved families. Our puppies are primarily sold on a limited/non-breeding agreements unless you are willing to obtain a title or work with us to ensure ethical breeding practices. We not only get to know each of our puppies individually, but we also test each of them for energy level, personality, disposition, retrieving and prey/chase drive, intelligence and conformation to assist in matching the best puppy with your family or situation. Come and see our current and upcoming litters as well as rearing information, available older puppies/adults and see what other satisfied owners say about their Coldwater Labrador. (Lots of Pictures!) | CLICK HERE TO MEET OUR LABRADORS Come and meet our adult males and females as well as our future hopefuls. All of our Labradors are valued members of our family and are either inside with us full time or rotated indoors on a regular basis. We do have a fenced in paddock area, puppy pens and breeding runs but we do not believe in a “kennel” type situation. Having them inside with us provides a bond and special relationship we feel is paramount to their happiness. This link will also provide you with pictures and pedigrees as well as information on stud service, clearances, each of their personalities and why they are so special to us. Keep your eyes open for girls that will be retiring soon and be available to join a loving forever home. (Lots of Pictures!) |  |
