Guardian Home Program

What is a Guardian Dog?

A Guardian Home is a co-ownership of an intact dog, male/female. A family receives a free dog while the breeders retains the breeding rights to the guardian dog. The dog will stay with the breeder to whelp/sire litters then returns to their guardian homes after. Also the breeder covers all cost directly related to breeding included but not exclusive to breeding pregnancy check ups, hormone testing, health testing, OFA hip testing, breeding rights and more. The guardian home covers all other pet expenses included food, shots, grooming, training, and more.

We proudly offer Guardian dogs in our breeding program. We are a small family run breeding program and for that reason we have to limit the amount of dogs that live in our home. We do not believe in selling our retired old poodles after breeding is done. The guardian program makes sure that each of our poodles has a loving home that they live in their whole life. For that reason, we rely on our amazing guardian homes for our breeding dogs.
