The guardian program allows us to expand our breeding efforts while ensuring our dogs continue to receive the love and attention they deserve. Although we would love to keep all of our dogs with us, we recognize that they would thrive with more individual care.
As a guardian home, you offer a permanent, loving home to one of our breeding dogs during their time in the program. After they retire, we cover the cost of spaying or neutering, and full ownership of the dog is transferred to you, allowing them to remain part of your family forever. Through this program, you can welcome one of our puppies or young adult dogs into your home as a family pet at no initial cost. The guardian program ensures our dogs lead happy, fulfilling lives in homes where they receive the focused attention they deserve.
