Learn More About Becoming A Guardian Family
In an effort to continue to expand our breeding program, and to ensure all of our breeding dogs live a pampered life with their very own forever family, we have implemented our Guardian Home Program!
Why Become a Guardian Family?
Our breeding program is designed around our precious breeding dogs living pampered pet lives with their wonderful local guardian family. Placing our breeding dogs in Guardian Homes allows for us to continue to grow our breeding program, and more importantly ensures that each and every dog in our program is first and foremost a forever family pet!
​
We do not believe that puppies or dogs are best served by being kennel raised. By placing them in a home environment that will be their forever home from the time they are puppies, or by placing as a young adult, we are doing our best to ensure their happiness and best start in life. We never have to kennel raise a dog when utilizing guardian homes.
​
The majority of guardian homes are families who cannot afford to purchase a Labradoodle. There are others who simply like the idea of how our program works and want to be a part of it with us. For those who could not afford to purchase a Labradoodlee outright, the guardian home option is a fantastic way to have a beautiful Labradoodle. We benefit as a breeder because we do not need to have or utilize kennels. We do not have to care for more dogs than we are comfortable with or can manage easily in our own home. We know each dog has a forever home from the time they are young.
As a Guardian Home you will be required to pay for the everyday expenses of owning a puppy including annual exams, vaccines, food, etc. We will pay for all breeding related costs including health testing. If you are still interested in becoming a Guardian Family continue reading below.
