Guardian Homes for Sequim, Port Angeles and vicinity

Why Use Guardian Homes?

We believe all dogs deserve to be in a loving home and not have to live in a kennel. Because of this, our Australian Labradoodles will be either members of our family or live with another family that will provide them the love and attention they need. Because we are committed to producing the highest quality Australian Labradoodle puppies we can, we raise the offspring in our home,  where they are loved and handled by adults and children before they go to their forever homes. In order to expand our breeding program, we need the help of qualified Guardian Homes willing to raise breeding dogs for us in their homes with all of the love and care that we would give them if we could keep them all ourselves!

What Is A Guardian Home?

We give you a dog for life.  We have breeding rights only.  He or she will be your furever dog.

Females are bred three times between 16 months of age and 4 years old.  and males are bred a few times year from 1 year old until infertile at about 5 or 6 years old.

A Guardian Home is a person or family that is home most of the day and would be available for breeding in our home.    

 Guardians must agree to follow the conditions set forth in the contract.  When the dog is retired from breeding,  the dog is spayed or neutered and the contract expires. The dog then remains with the Guardian Home for life.

What Are The Benefits To You?

You will receive the finest quality breeding puppy chosen by the breeder to be your forever companion for FREE.  We pay breeding related expenses only.   The guardian is responsible for day to day expenses, feeding, training, veterinary care, etc.
