  • Guardian Home Program Contract

    We created a Guardian‐Home Program to grow our breeding program while still providing each of our breeding dogs with a loving environment in a guardian family. We refuse to have our beloved dogs live in a kennel environment. We believe that happy, loved dogs will produce amazing offspring. We breed for temperament, health, and physical attributes. Living in a loving home is essential for our breeders to produce top quality puppies. A Guardian Home is not a foster situation. This is a great way for a family to have their very own high quality puppy, chosen by the breeder without the upfront cost of buying the high quality puppy. By joining our Guardian Program, you desire to and act as a guardian for a Doodle dog that may be either a male or a female and is a potential breeder or proven breeder, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The following will spell out the Guardian‐Home Program, including our requirements for guardian families while the dog is a part of the breeding program. The Obligations we will assume as Owner, and how the dog will become a permanent member of your family. Benefits of the Guardian‐Home Program: To the Guardian family: The Dog is “pick of the litter” with an estimated value of $3,000 to $5,000.
