What is a guardian home?
Basically, a guardian gets a puppy/dog from us at no charge, but we retain all ownership and breeding rights. Once the dog is ready to be retired from our program, he/she is spayed or neutered at our expense and all ownership rights are signed over to you! He/she is now permanently all yours! **This is not for other breeders, strictly pet homes**
A guardian home is wonderful for the dogs and guardians! A guardian gets a top quality poodle at no charge and the dog gets to have a wonderful home that can give them the one on one attention they deserve. This is to ensure our dogs have the best care, love, and most amazing life possible as well as being in a home with their forever family early in their life. Guardian homes are responsible for day to day costs such as feeding, grooming, vet, etc. All breeding related costs are covered by us. Males will be required to come to us for a few days when he is needed to breed, show, or for health testing. Females will need to be left with us for 1-2 weeks while in heat and for 8-10 weeks once she has a litter. We understand that is a long time to be without your pet, so please be prepared for that before deciding on being a guardian. We have a few requirements to become a guardian. If you are interested, please email me and we can go over everything!

Being a guardian home is not for everyone as it is a lot of responsibility. Keep in mind that this is a business agreement and commitment, not just getting a free puppy to love. There is a strict contract in place that will be followed and enforced. The guardian contract can be found on the Health Guarantee & Contracts page.
