Guardian Homes
HOW IT WORKS
You get your puppy for free and your puppy who becomes a mature dog lives with you and becomes a member of your family, while we retain breeding rights and title. Once the dog is finished with their breeding career, they may be spayed/neutered and all rights will then be transferred to you.
As a Guardian Family, you would be responsible for all the normal pet care, such as: feeding, grooming, normal vet visits, flea/tick prevention, training and toys. We will be responsible for any breeding related expenses such as: breeding fees, ultrasounds, microchips and hip/elbow, eye testing, or anything else associated with breeding.
Typically a female dog cycles every 6 – 9 months. After they are about 1.5 years old we may begin breeding them. Prior to breeding, we do a variety of different tests on them to ensure they are the best dogs for breeding. We will ask that you contact us at the start of her next heat. We will determine the breeding days and coordinate to have her here for breeding. She may or may not then returns to you. We will breed female Guardian Dogs 2-4 times.
For our studs, the commitment is higher as we can use our studs more often. Generally we ask that our studs live in Washington, a little closer to where we live to make this easier for everyone. Our studs go through all the same testing and we may begin using them around 1.5 years old. Once our most fertile female breeding days have been determined figured out, we will ask the stud to be delivered for a short window of time and then picked back up to allow rest for the stud between breedings.
If for some reason your new puppy does not meet our breeding standards you will be able to purchase the dog for a greatly reduced cost. In most cases your new dog will meet the requirements and then you do not have to pay anything for your new family member as long as they are bred at a minimum of three times.
