About Our Guardian Program
To balance our desire to maintain a manageable number of dogs with the goal of expanding our breeding program with quality bloodlines, we initiated the Guardian Family Program.
The most exceptional puppies are selected as breeding prospects. Guardian Families acquire their puppies at 8 weeks for a reduced cost, signing a legally binding Guardian Family Home Contract. The puppy becomes an integral part of the family. The family is responsible for regular health maintenance expenses. We cover genetic and physical health testing and all breeding-related costs.
When the dog reaches her second heat (usually around 1 1/2 to 2 years old), the family notifies us, and she spends time with us during breeding. After completion, she returns home for the remainder of her pregnancy. On day 56, she returns to us for preparation and adjustment to her new environment. During this period, she stays with us until the puppies are weaned, approximately 6 weeks. Guardian Families are welcome to visit during this time.
After a predetermined number of litters (usually 4), we cover the cost of spaying, and the contract is fulfilled.
This commitment is permanent, not a foster dog program.
