The Basics of the Guardian Program
We consider our dogs family in our home! We started this guardian program to enable us to grow our breeding program while still providing our dogs one on one attention with a loving family. To be a breeder of quality dogs we need to evaluate and add quality bloodlines into our breeding program. We only keep our pick of the litters to continue into our breeding program and we prefer to place these pick puppies in guardian homes. We want our dogs to be loved on and to be a part of a family to develop their full potential, and this is why we have the guardian program.
We are giving the dog to the guardian family to raise and love and keep as a member of their family. This program allows local families an opportunity to own one of the best Goldendoodles/Aussiedoodles available without paying for it. The family must be approved as guardian parents and agree to abide by our contract of care.
Most breeders do not compensate their guardian families but we feel it's important to show how much we appreciate them. We pay $750 per litter of puppies she has. This is of course only for female guardians.
The guardian home program is an excellent situation for the dog, it's a great deal for guardian parents, and is ideal for growing our breeding program. It is one of those "win - win" situations for everyone involved. The family receives a quality, top pick dog for their forever pet, we are able to improve the breed by using only the best for bettering the breed, and the reason we instigated our guardian program -- the dog lives in a forever home, receiving one-on-one of attention, training and appropriate care.

Guardian Homes Must...
- Own their own home is preferred
- Have their own car to transport the dog
- Prior experience of dog ownership is a must
- Be willing to crate and house train the puppy.
- Afford to provide monthly heartworm/flea/tick prevention, as well as regular vet checks, including vaccines.
- Keep him/her on pawTree food and Nuvet vitamins is a must.
- If you are local I prefer you use my vet.
- Fenced backyard to contain the puppy, or be willing to adequately supervise puppy at all times while outside.
- Be available to drive dog to and from our home for breeding and whelping.
- Understand that a male guardian may need to come to our house 2-3 times in a week for breeding. Some months we may not need him but other months we may need him a few times.
- Understand that I do not want my dogs locked in a kennel all day. If you are gone more than 5 hours a day and can't come home to let the dog out you do not qualify, I'm sorry.
- Keep us updated with pics as the puppy grows.
- Be willing to socialize the puppy by taking it everywhere possible and showing him/her life in general.
- Live within 60 miles of Concord, NC.
- Understand that it is your responsibility to let us know she has started her heat cycle. Not letting us know of her heat cycles is against our contract and I WILL take possession if I'm not notified by the time she is a year and half.
- Understand that it is your responsibility to keep the dog groomed at all times.
- You agree to have her spayed once our guardian contract is up.
- Understand that I have the right to breed her 6 times. We typically do 4 back to back breedings so they can retire at an early age. We start breeding on the second heat cycle unless the first heat cycle comes after their 1st birthday.
- If you are a guardian owner of a male you understand I may need him several times. Some will be overnight stays. There may be several months we wont need him and some months we may need him several times.
- Understand that it is your responsibility to make sure he or she doesn't breed with any other dog. This would void our contract and I would take possession of the dog.
- You must respond to my calls and text messages within 24 hours.
- Please remember that the dog is yours to keep unless I feel the dog is being mistreated or uncared for in any way, there is a lack of communication, heat cycles are not being seen or if you move further than agreed upon distance.
