Why a Guardian Family?
We believe that all dogs deserve to have a loving home with people who not only cherish them but give them the attention they deserve. In our opinion, a Home-Based Quality Breeder with carefully selected breeding dogs placed with guardian families is the best way to go. We feel this is a Win-Win-Win for guardians, breeder & dog.
A Guardian home placement benefits the dog by being happy, healthy and LOVED in their permanent home with their family (except during breeding and whelping when they are LOVED in our home). When their breeding career is over (at about 6 yrs for females and possibly a little longer for males) they do not need to be rehomed.
A Guardian home placement benefits the Guardian because the purchase fee is waived for a "pick of the litter" healthy, social puppy. When the dog retires from its breeding career, the ownership of the dog is transferred to the guardian upon spay or neuter. (We also offer incentives for certain training certificates.)
A Guardian home placement benefits the breeder by having a safe home in which the puppy is being raised and LOVED so it becomes a well socialized, behaved and secure adult. In return, Guardians must understand that a guardian arrangement is meant to be a permanent home for the dog.
As breeder, we provide a healthy, social puppy that has had its first shots, worming, is micro-chipped and vet checked. We pay for all health testing, breeding, pregnancy and whelping related expenses. We promise to keep the dog safe while in our care and provide veterinary care at our expense, if required. If the Guardian is no longer able to care for the dog, we will take him or her back although Guardians must understand that a guardian arrangement is meant to be a permanent home for the dog. We do retain exclusive breeding rights to the dog.
That said, raising a Labradoodle isn’t for everyone and neither is being a guardian family.
