Guardian Homes are a great opportunity for the right family. I use guardian homes so that I can further my breeding program without having too many dogs at my own home.  Guardianships enable breeding dogs to live one on one with a family while they are participating in my program.  They are loved and cared for by the same family they will be living with when they retire. Guardian Dogs are placed with a minimal upfront fee, and are paid a small stipend for each litter their girl has

Guardians must not have any other intact dogs for the entire duration of the guardian contract (spayed or neutered pets are fine). Our guardian dogs are placed in NON Smoking homes only. Guardian  homes are responsible for taking their dog to have his/her eyes tested annually at an approved location (at my expense).

Female guardian dogs are usually under contract for 4 litters.  I usually will breed them back to back twice so they may retire early, unless my vet recommends differently or timing doesn't work out for me (overlapping litters, etc).  The contract may be shortened if I decide no more litters are desired out of the girl.  Guardians of females are required to alert me to when their girl is coming into season, and make her available to me for the breeding process.

All guardian moms are required to feed the same food we use until they are retired. We feed PAWTREE

Male dogs are contracted for a period of time rather than a number of litters. Guardians of male dogs must have the boy available as needed for natural breedings or for semen collection. Male dogs must live within 30 miles of Manson/Fort Dodge.

I am currently seeking guardian homes for the following dogs...
