What is a guardian home?

A guardian home is a wonderful opportunity for a family to enjoy a “pick of the litter” puppy FOR FREE.

Since I am not a kennel type breeder and we can only have so many dogs in our care, I prefer to find homes for my breeding dogs where they can stay their whole lives without having to be uprooted after they retire from the breeding program.  It is so much less stressful for the dog to be in their home from day one, rather than finding a home for a dog that is 6 to 7 years old.

The puppy is placed in a guardian home, within the Niagara Region, where the puppy is co-owned with the guardian family but I retain breeding rights.  The breeder takes care of all costs pertaining to breeding, like health testing, whelping, and breeding.  The guardian home takes care of all costs associated with owning a dog, including vaccinations, deworming, heartworm, flea/tick prevention, insurance, regular vet visits, food and dog supplies.  And most importantly to provide a loving and caring home.

 

If you are a guardian for one of our females, we retain exclusive breeding rights for up to 4 litters.  She will not be breed till all her health tests are complete and not till around two years of age.  She will come to me, briefly, for breeding and then go back home to guardian family.  About one week before her due date she will stay at my home until she weans the pups.  This weaning can vary from 4 to 7 weeks.  Once the puppy is eating puppy food (starting around 3 weeks) mommy usually starts her weaning process.  Once the pups are all settled after birthing and mom is doing well with pups the guardian family are more than welcome to come see the mom and pups. 

If you are a guardian of one of our males, we retain breeding rights till 7 years of age.  And like most men their job is relatively simple.  They will come to my house to breed with approved females and then returned to your home.  This could be just a day trip to my house as breeding a male does not take long.

Once the guardian agreement is fulfilled you obtain full ownership of the dog and he/she will be spayed/neutered at our expense.
