Bringing Your Puppy Home

At Coal Creek Labrador Retrievers, the health and well-being of our puppies always comes first. Whether families choose to pick up their white lab puppy in person or arrange transportation, every option is handled thoughtfully and with care.

We work closely with families to ensure each puppy’s transition to their new home is calm, safe, and well-planned.

In-Person Puppy Pickup

Families are welcome to pick up their puppy directly from our farm in Montrose, Colorado once their puppy is ready to go home at 8 weeks of age.

In-person pickup allows families to:

  • Meet their puppy in a familiar environment
  • Ask final questions before heading home
  • Begin bonding right away

Pickup appointments are scheduled in advance to ensure a smooth and unrushed experience for both families and puppies.

Airport Meetups

For families traveling from outside the area, we are happy to meet at the Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) to hand deliver your puppy.

Montrose Regional Airport offers year-round nonstop flights from select cities, with additional seasonal routes available. When choosing this option:

  • Families are responsible for flight arrangements and airline fees
  • Airline pet travel requirements vary and should be reviewed in advance
  • A health certificate will be provided in your puppy packet, as required for air travel

This option allows families to personally receive their puppy while minimizing stress and travel time.

Ground Transportation Options

Ground transportation may be available on a case-by-case basis for families unable to travel to Montrose. This option is discussed individually and depends on distance, scheduling, and the puppy’s needs.

When available, ground transportation includes:

  • Comfortable travel accommodations
  • Regular food, water, and potty breaks
  • Careful attention throughout the journey

Additional fees apply and will be discussed in advance.

Important Things to Know

  • We do not ship puppies alone
  • Transportation arrangements must be discussed and approved in advance
  • All transportation decisions prioritize the puppy’s safety and comfort
  • Final payment must be completed at least 7 days prior to pickup or travel
