A Guardian Home is the same as a dog Host Home. These terms often are used interchangeably.

This is a great opportunity for a person or family to enjoy a “pick of the litter” puppy/dog that is considered for breeding by the breeder. These dogs are usually the best of the best. A great dog FREE! That is at the breeders discretion. The puppy/dog remains the property of the breeder until the end of the breeding career and then become the Guardian Home’s dog forever after. Typically after 4-5 times breeding, The dog then becomes part of the forever home. (Age does vary depending on the gender and the dog).

The Guardian Home program is actually a very simple program even though it may seem like there are a lot of details. The guardian program is designed for our breeding dogs, if we as humans truly reject the idea of puppy mills, then to my knowledge there is no better way than the guardian home program to help reputable breeders continue to breed healthy, happy dogs in a humane and loving environment and out of cages.

We highly appreciate all our wonderful guardian families who have helped us to produce our amazing puppies!

We value our breeding dogs and we want them all to live their entire life as family members and we hope that you can see how this program can benefit your family by providing you with a HIGH QUALITY, HEALTHY puppy for life.

This program is also very rewarding for not only us but our guardian families as well… there’s nothing better then getting to see how your dogs puppies have changed another families life!

The dog placed in a guardian home lives with the guardian family. The only times that the guardian dog comes back to the breeder are for breeding related purposes. These can include- breeding related vet appointments, health exams, meeting with a stud dog, or a week before she is ready to have her puppies. She will then stay at the home of the breeder until the puppies reach 7-8 weeks of age.

At that point she will return to the guardian family until the next time she is ready and healty to breed, up to 5 times total.

Along with getting a free dog, we also offer incentives such as up to $500 cash per litter of puppies.

We want this to be a good situation for both the guardian family, and for us as breeders.

Guardian families are responsible for paying for any non-breeding related health costs. This includes regular immunizations, health and wellness check ups, and groomings.

We pay for all Veterinarian bills that are related to pregnancy, reproduction, whelping and all necessary genetic testing.

Guardian Moms stay here with us for 2 months. Just long enough for her to whelp her puppies, wean them and then the last 2 weeks is a very important time where the Mama dog will teach her puppies socialization skills. She teaches them how to be dogs basically.

So, even if the puppies are weaned and could be separated from their Mom and still survive – we do believe that the last 2 weeks is very important and ask that our guardians be patient and understanding that she will be with us until the puppies go home at 8 wks.

We also never force weaning. We allow our Moms to decide when mother nature tells her it’s time to wean. Whether that be earlier or later than “usual”.

I have found there are no hard set rules when it comes to how dogs parent their puppies. Every Dog Mom is different and we try to listen to our dogs and allow her to follow her instincts as much as possible.

While the dog is in guardian’s care and home, any illness or injury that happens is their financial responsibility and visa versa if we have the dog and anything happens here then it’s our financial responsibility.

We pay for the spay surgery after she has had time to recover from the last litter and have her hormone levels return to normal. This is usually about 2 months after puppies are weaned. We choose the vet where she will be spayed.
