If you are interested in keeping one of our puppies or dogs in a Guardian Home, please contact us for more information. There are several guidelines that must be followed if you are going to become a Guardian Home for one of our breeding dogs. We have different guidelines for males and females for obvious reasons, so we have separate contracts for them.

FEMALES: Because we find that the health of the pregnant female has a great deal to do with the health of the puppies, we have certain requirements that apply to any female in our breeding program. We will provide her with NuVet Nutritional Supplements, and these supplements are to be given to her daily while she is pregnant and/or nursing. We also have different options regarding the puppies. 1) We can take the female into our home during the whelping (delivering the puppies) and nursing time period - about 7-8 weeks;
2) we can take her during her whelping period, and then she would go back to your home during the time she nurses her puppies; or 3) you can keep her the entire time period if we are all comfortable with that arrangement.

MALES AND FEMALES:
Our breeding dogs must not have any unapproved commercial dog foods. A good nutritional dry dog food is Nutro Natural Lamb and Rice Formula. A less expensive dry dog food similar to Nutro Natural is the Kirkland dry dog food found at Costco.

Your dog may not be placed in a boarding kennel at any time while he or she is a part of our breeding program. If you cannot find another dog sitter, feel free to contact us.

Please read all of the information listed under Health on our Information Page for more information on health care for dogs.
