Alderwood Labradors

We breed very nice Labrador Retriever Pups! Usually the litter is reserved before they are born, so we had to come up with a reservation system that tries to be fair to everyone.

Prices & Deposits -

We find it difficult to use the traditional method of 1st pick, 2nd pick, etc. We sell primarily to the Pacific Northwest and while waiting for folks to make a pick, whole weeks can go by so.... We came up with a Reservation System. Basically, we want to make sure that everyone who wants a pup gets a pup. We will accept only four "Deposit Reservations" on a given litter once that litter is scheduled. A deposit is $100 and is non-refundable but may be rolled to another litter.

Price Schedule - Black & Yellows are $500
Chocolates are $550
White Pups are $650

Current Puppy Prices - Blacks and Yellows are $550, Chocolates are $600 and Whites are $650

We are updating our reservation/deposit system as of 7/1/2010

In an effort to hold the price of pups where it is, we will no longer accept credit cards. Simply call and let us know what pup you want, then we can tell you how to make payment/deposit arrangements. Payments and deposits may still be sent to us using PayPal, (we can send you instructions on how to do that) deposits must be made within 72 hours of choosing a pup.

Puppy Reservation and Deposit Policy updates 6/1/2010

In an effort to simplify our reservation system we are going to drop all guaranteed reservations. We will honor those reservations that are currently in place but on all litters that are scheduled after the Lucie/Max Winter 2010 litter we will simply take ten reservations per litter. After the pups are 4 weeks old, we will notify those on the list that they pick out their pup. This reservation will get you on a "no obligation" email list that will advise you of "litter events" such as; date of breeding, going into labor, finished labor and posting of pictures as they occur.

Once the pups are four weeks old, we will take a deposit on a given pup. Please do not ask us to take a deposit before that time, we will send a reminder email when the pups are 4 weeks old. We encourage you to visit when the pups are at least 3 weeks old and begin your "choice" process. When the pups are 3 weeks old we will weigh each pup and identify each with a collar and tag and post individual pictures on the website. We will accept a deposit on a pup at four weeks of age, but cannot guarantee that a given litter will be born nor can we guarantee the gender mix of the litter. Deposits are non-refundable but may be "rolled forward" to another pup of your choice.

NOTE: We will hold your pup until the pup is 8 weeks old. At that time, because we strongly feel the pup should be with you by that time, and because of our birthing schedule and cleaning/disinfecting requirements we must charge a boarding fee of $20 per day (or any part of a day) until the pup is picked up.
