Why and What is a Guardian Program?

To be a breeder of quality, healthy, Doodles we need to continue to evaluate and add quality bloodlines into our breeding program. In order for us to give our dogs the best possible life and home, it is important for us to limit how many dogs we have living with us in our home. Because of this, we have decided to place some of our breeding dogs in guardian homes so that they can receive the proper attention and love they most definitely deserve and have a happy life with their forever family. 

Goldendoodles and Berenedoodles are bred to be close family companions and they naturally love human company and closeness and therefore will thrive in a loving family environment.  

> A puppy is placed in an approved home when the puppy is 8 weeks old, sometimes will will have and older puppy we may offer.

> When breeding career is over, we then spay them and they are returned to your family with full ownership rights where they will live out their lives with their families.

>We will offer dog/puppy we decide to keep in our program for free with contract 

>The guardian family will raise, love and keep as a member of their family. This program allows for local families an opportunity to own one of the best dogs available without paying for it. The family must be approved as guardian parents and agree to abide by our contract of care. Once contract is fulfilled, dog will be spayed/neutered! The guardian home program is an excellent situation for the dog, it's a great deal for guardian parents, and is ideal for producing an exceptional Doodle breeding program. It is a Win for all involved. The family receives a quality, top pic dog for their forever pet. We are able to improve the breed by using only the best for bettering the breed, and most importantly--the dog lives in a forever home, receiving one-on-one attention, training, love and care.
