How to Reserve a Coldwater Puppy
|

YOU CAN RESERVE
A PUPPY IN OUR
PROGRAM WHILE STILL
INTERVIEWING OTHER
REPUTABLE BREEDERS
Are you interested in reserving
one of our Puppies or do you have
any questions about our Labradors?

Please contact us
We highly recommend that if you are
interested in one of our puppies
that you contact us to be placed on
our verbal reservation list.
Occcasionally we will have a puppy
that becomes available at seven weeks
and is waiting for that special family,
but the majority of our puppies are
spoken for in advance. If you have
your heart set on one of our babies
I would highly suggest letting us
know as soon as possible.
There are no "last pick" puppies
here at Coldwater due to our unique
and proven evaluation and matching
process. Be sure to read more about
that our on Purchasing and Testing
pages through the links below.
CONCERNING PAYMENT
All personal checks require seven
days to clear our bank before we
are able to ship a puppy by airline.
Puppies being delivered or picked up
can be paid for at that time.
All personal checks that do not clear
our bank will be subject to a $30.00
charge to cover our bank fees. We are
happy to allow you time for resubmission
but do also offer payment plans if needed.

Our reservation program allows you to
set the perameters of your reservation.
It can be for a length of time, specific
color and sex or out of a particular
litter or litters. In every case we help
you select the puppy that is the best
match for your family by evaluation.

on how to place your name on our verbal
reservation list or to reserve by deposit.

We would strongly recommend visiting the other pages on our site. Each has valuable information
pertaining to our puppies, their health, rearing and our matching process. Please do not hesitate
to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Placing a verbal reservation with us will hold your spot on our reservation list for up to two weeks
(or until the litter you are interested in is seven weeks) while you continue to contact and interview
other breeders. Our primary concern is making sure that you are satisfied and feel comfortable with the
breeder and puppy you choose, not that you purchase a puppy from US and we want to give you every
opportunity to do that. We encourage you to contact as many other breeders as possible during
your search. Ask them as many questions as you can, check out their guarantee, rearing and breeding
program and see if you feel comfortable. Also be sure to inquire about the adults in their program.
Your puppy will grown quickly and before you know it will be an adult. If you are happy with the
adults in their breeding program the general rule is that you will also be happy with the puppy that
you purchase. If for any reason a breeder is hard to contact, seems unable to answer particular
questions or just seems to be annoyed or unknowledgeable please be wary.
Verbal Reservations -
As we have mentioned on some of our other pages, each family that contacts us
usually has an idea of what they are looking for in their new puppy. Some would
prefer a particular color, sex or size. Some families would like a puppy that excells
in retrieving desire or is available during a specific time period. Other families
are only concerned with finding the best possible match using our evaluation process.
If we currently have a puppy available that you are interested in you may have already
found your match, but when reserving in advance we give YOU the chance to set your
own perameters. Tell us what is most important to your family. Is it the lenght of time
that you have to locate the puppy? Have you had the best luck with only males or
females? Are you especially drawn to a particular sire or dam that we have at our
home? Any or all of these guidelines can be applied and given to us along with your
reservation. If we are unable to meet your perameters you will be refunded your deposit
in full or allowed to extend or change your perameters, your choice.
To continue to hold your reservation past the two weeks we do require a deposit. If at
any time you decide to go with another breeder we will never take offense to this. We are
happy to provide support and help to all other ethical breeders and knowing you have found
your match makes us very happy. Just let us know that you have found a puppy so we can
update our list and if we can assist you in any other way please just let us know.
Reservation by Deposit -
Some families prefer to send us a deposit without placing their name on the verbal
reservation list. We are honored that you have decided on one of our puppies but
the verbal reservation program is in place for you if you decide to utilize it.
We require a deposit of $250.00 and this is applied to the final purchase price of your
puppy. If we do not produce a puppy that matchs your parameters we will refund your deposit
in full or allow you to move it to another litter or expand your criteria, your choice.
Methods of Payment -
We accept cash, money orders, bank checks and personal checks as methods of payment. Please be
sure that all checks are made payable to Jody Lynch or Alayne Hartuniewicz
