Guardian Program Opportunities

We are always on the lookout for special families that want to be a part of our guardian program. You must live local (to the Tri-Cities.) We have a few opportunities coming soon with our new litters.

What is the Guardian Home Program?

Being a guardian family for a Loyal Heart Australian Labradoodle is a great way to have a top quality dog without all the expense. We breed superior Australian Multi-generational Labradoodles with pedigrees through the ALAA and our selected Guardian homes pay just a fraction of the cost. 

Our Guardian Home Program lets local families have one of our top notch young breeding dogs. The puppy will live with you as your own family dog while we retain breeding rights for the dog. The puppies are whelped at our home and the mama stays with us until the pups are weaned. Once the Guardian Dog has completed her breeding career, she will be spayed and then the contract is signed over for full ownership to the Guardian family.

 

Why We Use the Guardian Home Program

We believe every dog deserves a loving family they can call their own. We are not a kennel breeder because kennel raised dogs do not get the socialization and stimulation that is needed to be a well balanced, happy dog. Our Guardian Home Program benefits everyone involved–the dog, the breeder, and the Guardian family.

Benefits:

  • Guardian Families have “pick of the Litter” top breed quality, selected by the breeder

  • All extensive health testing required by the ALAA will be paid for by the breeder

  • There is no need for the breeder to kennel the dogs

  • The dogs are well socialized and in a good family environment

  • The dog does not need to be re-homed as an adult upon retirement

  • Guardian families can schedule trips during whelpings without paying for outside pet care

  • Superior Bloodline - ALAA Muti-generational Australian Labradoodle for very little expense

 

How Much Does a Puppy in the Guardian Home Program Cost?

We pay all breeding related testing expenses. A deposit is required before receiving the dog and is returned once the dog is retired.
