(All of our puppies are born and raised in our home, not a kennel!)

At Coldwater Labrador Retrievers, our 22 years
of experience in producing healthy, well adjusted,
gentle, birdy and beautiful English Labradors has
forged us an oustanding reputation. We are proud to
offer both loving, gentle family companions and
outstanding competition prospects.

We take the time to give each puppy a written
evaluation for personallity, energy level,
temperament, retrieving interest, trainability
and conformation. This evaluation ensures that the
puppy and the home are the best possible match.


Coldwater's CK Catamaran as a baby!


Each of our breedings are carefully considered. We are primarily concerned with producing a puppy that
is healthy, has a gentle and laid back disposition and is very easily trained. All of our sires and dams
have had had a full array of health clearances that exceed the minimal requirements for the breed and they
are all competition quality. Some have, or are in the process of, obtaining show and field titles.

We have been honored to produce Labradors that are not only outstanding family pets and hunting companions
but have earned National Specialty Show Wins, Group Placements, Hunting Test Titles, Agility Titles,
Obedieance Titles, Therapy Dog Titles and Participate in Search & Rescue and Drug Detection work.

Our competition puppies are always ones that we would be proud to keep ourselves. If you are interested
in more information on what is involved in competition please contact us. We offer special incentives to those who
obtain titles and we are more than happy to mentor new people interested in any aspect of competiton.

Current Litter Information


If you have decided on a Coldwater puppy
I would urge you to contact us as soon as
possible. Our Labradors are very popular
and we often have reservations in advance.


Please also be sure to check on our
Available Page. We some times have a
puppy or young adult available to a
select pet or competition home.




The vast majority of our puppies are
considered to be moderate in energy level,
but some times we do produce an unusually
lazy puppy or one that has enough energy
suitable for a very active family. If you
are looking for a high energy puppy this
isn't the breeding program for you.

All of our puppies score just a tad
bit differently during their evaluation.
Some have a bit less or more energy
than others, some are more independant
or prefer to be petted or cuddled rather
than play with their litter mates.

This is why it is so important to know
exactly what each family is looking for
in their new puppy. The evaluations we
give are a very helpful tool in assisting
to match each puppy with the needs, wants
and expectations of each family.

We have no problem finding excellent
homes for our puppies and so we have
no reason to be less than honest about
our matching process. If we do not happen
to produce a puppy that matchs your needs
we are happy to refund your deposit or
move your reservation to another litter,
your choice. Though this may be very
dissappointing it is better than placing
a puppy that is not a good fit and that
you will not be satisfied with.

We love and care about every puppy we
produce and the vast majority of our
time is spent socilizing them, training
them and making sure they have excellent
care and tons of love. Of course they
all come pre-spoiled! We can't help it!


PLEASE NOTE: Many of our girls will be retiring in 2010 and looking for forever homes.
If you are interested in getting more information on one of them please contact us.

Upcoming and Planned Litter Information


If for some reason we do not have
puppies available we are happy to
recommend other breeder for your
consideration. Normally these are
breeders that we have worked closely
with, co-own dogs with, train with
or show and compete with regularly.

These breeders are well known,
ethical and put the health of their
puppies, love of the breed and heart
and soul into their dogs just as we
do. Though they do not provide the
same guarantee or rearing program
we do, we believe that they would be
able to provide you with a quality
puppy that is healthy, beautiful and
well rounded in every way.




Litters Due To Arrive

We are expecting the arrival of black and yellow and black and chocolate puppies
at the end of January. Please contact us for more detaled information. We are
currently accepting a limited number of reservations.


Litters That are Planned

We will be doing a limited number of breedings in 2010 but will be assisting
two breeders in whelping, rearing and placement of their puppies as well. These
puppies will be covered under our guarantee. A black and yellow litter will hopefully
be arriving in early March and ready to go at the end of April or very early May. If you
would like information on those puppies please contact us.
