What is a Guardian?
A guardian home provides a permanent, loving forever home for a dog in our breeding program. This allows the dog to stay with one family and receive all the love and attention of a one-on-one pet!
As a guardian home, you would welcome one of our girls or boys into your home as your pet. The dog would still belong to us until they retire from breeding, around 5 years old for females and a bit older for males. At that time, we will cover the cost of altering the dog, and ownership will be transferred to you.
The guardian home does not pay to take one of our dogs but is responsible for regular expenses, such as yearly vet exams, vaccinations, heartworm and flea preventative, and regular grooming (recommended every 6-8 weeks).
If you have a stud, he will come to us for a few days at a time when needed for breeding. If you have a female, she would stay with us for about a week when in heat and for 8+ weeks when she has a litter, one to two times a year. Please make sure you are emotionally prepared to leave her with us during these times before agreeing to become a guardian home!
If you and your family are interested, please fill out our application below. We will contact you after reviewing it to inform you if we think there's a good fit and to discuss potential guardian opportunities.
