WHAT IS THE GUARDIAN HOME PROGRAM?

Our Guardian Home Program is when a family has one of our dogs in their home and care full time.

The dog is placed with the Guardian at no cost to the Guardian family. The dog will stay with the Guardian the majority of her life, except for when she is in her heat cycle, when whelping, and when caring for her puppies up to 5-6 weeks of age.

We have ownership and exclusive breeding rights, meaning she cannot be bred to any other males outside our breeding program. Once the contract is fulfilled (usually at 6 years of age), we will spay her and sign over complete ownership to the guardian family.

WHY GUARDIAN HOMES?

Our dogs mean everything to us. We love them!! We want to snuggle them, play with them, and enjoy their personalities to the fullest, however that is not always possible. Guardian homes would allow each of our fur babies to receive all the love and undivided attention they deserve. It gives our dogs the opportunity to have the best life possible – years with a family who can love them as the family’s number one pet! The Guardian Home program gives us, the dog, and the guardian the peace of mind knowing that we are providing the dog with the best life possible.
