We believe that every dog deserves a loving forever home, and therefore our Guardian Homes have become an important part of our program. To ensure each of our dogs receive the care and personal attention they deserve we only keep a few of our breeding dogs with us, and rely on ‘Guardian Owners’ who are forever home dog owners within our Guardian Program to provide a safe, loving environment for them when they are not being bred. 

​

Guardian owners will receive either an adult dog or puppy, that have been chosen for qualities we look for in our breeding program. They are approved to live with you as your family dog while we retain breeding rights. For females we retain the breeding rights for 4-5 litters (approximately 2-3 year), while males are retained for approximately 6 years. Guardian families are responsible for maintaining the overall health of their dog, which includes providing quality food, annual veterinary exams,vaccinations, and grooming. We the breeder are responsible for genetic health testing required for breeding and all other breeding expenses. Once your dog is retired from breeding, he/she will be neutered/spayed at our expense, and there is no further obligation to us. 

​

Benefits to our Guardian Families:

• Guardian families receive a high quality dog with no upfront cost.

• Guardian families have the flexibility to travel during breedings/whelpings without having to worry of the cost and kenneling of their pet. 

• We offer incentives to show our appreciation for the care our guardian families put into giving our current and future parents a loving forever home. 

​

Benefits for our dogs:

• Our dogs don't need to be re-homed after retiring, and live out their life with their forever families. 

• Our dogs are well socialized and live in loving home environments. 

• Our dogs are beloved family members.

​

Guardians of Females:

The females that are apart of our program are Bernese Mountain Dogs, and F1 Bernedoodles. Females come back to us for typically less than a week during breeding, and than return to us 1 week prior to her due date. Once the puppies have been weaned and are ready to go to their forever homes (approximately 8 weeks) your female is able to return home to you.

​

Guardians of Males:

The males that are apart of our program are Mini poodles. Males are with us for 3-7 days during breeding. The time periods that males are with us is shorter than females, however are more frequent depending on the planned litters.
