GUARDIANSHIP PROGRAM
We want all of the dogs within our breeding program to have a safe, healthy and happy environment. As much as I would like to keep all of the dogs I add to our breeding program in my home, we can not do that without compromising the health and quality of their lives. We refuse to raise our dogs in kennels, or in crowded environments. So instead we allow families who REALLY want a dog, and live close by, to give one of our future dogs the the opportunity of a loving home where they are loved and become part of a family forever!
In some breeding programs adult dogs are retired after breeding and go live in a different home after they have been retired from breeding. This works for many breeding programs, but I have chosen to go a different route in hopes to provide a consistent and steady home for them for the rest of their life! They idea of a dog living a cirtain lifestyle with my family and then uprooted into another lifestyle at aroound age 5 seems unfair to the dog. So the idea is to keep them in their forever home… well forever!
Females will return to us for breeding, delivery and to nutrure and raise her litter (they will be with us for about 7 weeks). Males will come to my home for breedings when a female is ready to be bred.
The guardian family gets the opportunity of having their dream dog live in their forever home at no cost in exchange for working with us for a limited number of breedings (4 or less). Most breeding females cost $2500-
$6000. This dog will be free to you as long as you can fulfill the contract.
The guardian family is compensated with a loving companion that comes from genetic and health tested lines to ensure we are breeding the healthiest lines with great personalities!
The dog is able cared for in a great environment in his/her forever loving home.
We get to continue our breeding program with amazing dogs that are in homes where they are loved and individually cared for!
A contract is signed by both parties and we stay in close contact throughout the years! We are here to help and support you in every way! We will answer any questions or concerns you might have along the way to make this arrangement run as smoothly as we can! At the end of the outlined contract the Guardian Family will have 100% ownership of the dog!
We are very careful in who we choose to become guardians and only qualified families will be approved to love and care for our breeding dogs. Prior to any contract we will perform telephone interview, and a home visit via FaceTime or in person. Our breeding program DEPENDS on the quality of care provided to our dogs by our loving guardian families – we expect the best home life possible for our dogs.
Guardian Home families must live in Arizona and preferable within 30 miles of Queen Creek, AZ.
