Guardian Home Program

What is a Guardian Home?

 A guardian home is a carefully selected family who raises one of our dogs as their own while partnering with us during the dog’s breeding years.

Why We Use Guardian Homes

 

  • Fewer dogs per household
     
  • Individual attention and enrichment
     
  • Ethical, transparent breeding practices

Guardian Families Provide

 

  • A loving indoor home
     
  • Routine veterinary care
     
  • Willingness to follow breeding protocols
     
  • Residence within one hour of Almond, WI

We Provide

 

  • A well-bred, health-tested dog
     
  • All breeding-related expenses
     
  • Ongoing support and guidance
     
  • Full ownership after breeding obligations are completed

Is a Guardian Home Right for You?

 

Guardian homes work best for families who:

  • Want a high-quality dog without an upfront purchase price
     
  • Value communication and structure
     
  • Understand breeding commitments are temporary
