What is the Guardian Program?

Our guardian program is an excellent way to have a top-quality Australian Labradoodle puppy as your loyal companion without paying a purchase price. Our guardian families play an important role in our program by providing a loving home for our breeding dogs. We never put our dogs through the stress of being kenneled or not having the individual attention they deserve. We could not have our wonderful puppies without them! Once the Labradoodle's breeding career is over, he or she is yours to keep.

Selection of Guardian Homes:
- Screening: Potential Guardian Homes are carefully screened to ensure they can provide a stable, loving environment.
- Location: We prefer location to be within an hour of us, but if you are willing to drive to us, the location can be further.
Care and Maintenance:
- Daily Care: Guardian families are responsible for the day-to-day care, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and training.
- Veterinary Care: Routine vet visits, vaccinations, and general health maintenance are the Guardian; responsibility. We cover breeding-related veterinary expenses.
Breeding Arrangements:
- Breeding: When the dog is ready to breed, the Guardian Home must make the dog available for breeding purposes as per the agreement.
- Females come to us for breeding and for about 6 weeks when she whelps her puppies. Many families choose to go on vacation for some of this time. We send photos and keep in touch.
- Males Males come to our house for breeding which takes up to an hour. Total breedings are not more than 10. Males are retired at 6 years of age.
Post-Breeding Period:
- Retirement: Once the dog's breeding career is finished, Guardians spay or neuter the dog and ownership is transferred to them permanently.
