Guardian Home Program
Our dogs are considered beloved members of our family. They live in our home so that we know they are getting as much attention as possible. We created our Guardian Home Program to grow our breeding program while providing each of our dogs with a loving, forever home with a Guardian Family. A Guardian Home is a permanent home for one of our breeding dogs. By joining our program, you desire to and act as a Guardian for one of our dogs that is either a female potential breeder or a male potential breeder.
Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our top-notch, "Pick of the Litter" puppies as a family pet. Rather than buying this puppy, you will be putting down a $500 deposit that will be returned at the end of his/her breeding career (up to 4 litters for females and up to the age of 6 for males). Shannon Doodles retain ALL breeding rights. Once retired, he/she will be neutered/spayed at Shannon Doodles expense.
As a Guardian Home, you will be required to pay for the everyday expenses of owning a dog including annual exams, vaccines, food, etc. Shannon Doodles will pay for all breeding-related costs, including health testing.
Becoming a Guardian Home is not for everyone. You MUST be willing and able to follow these requirements:
Be willing to teach basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down and leave it.
He/She must be an indoor/outdoor pet and never left unattended outside when in heat or pregnant.
Feed a premium, quality food.
All other dogs in the home MUST be fixed if they are of the opposite sex.
Provide regular exercise.
Willing to let us, the breeder, visit your home.
Contact Breeder immediately in the event of a serious illness or accident.
Send a copy of all vet visits to the Breeder.
Must not allow him/her to mate with any unapproved dogs.
Provide veterinary care when needed.
For a female dog, you must be willing to drop her off while she is bred. Then drop her back off 1 week prior to her whelping date. She will stay with us until the puppies are weaned. (You are welcome to schedule a visit while she is with us and play with the puppies!)
For a male dog, you must be willing to drop him off for 3-5 days for breedings unless arrangements are made ahead of time for us to pick him up.
Be able to communicate with us, the breeder, about scheduling testing, mating, whelping, and anything else breeding-related.
We reserve the right to cancel our Guardian Home Program at any time if we deem it necessary.
