What is a Guardian Home Program?
A Guardian Home Program is a breeding arrangement where approved families receive a high-quality puppy at no cost in exchange for allowing the breeder to use that dog for future breeding purposes.
How it works
The guardian family raises the dog as their beloved family pet, providing individual attention and a loving home environment. In return, the breeder maintains breeding rights and typically has input on important decisions like diet, training, and veterinary care to ensure the dog stays in optimal breeding condition.
Benefits for families:
Guardian homes get to enjoy a premium puppy from quality bloodlines without the upfront cost, while still experiencing all the joys of dog ownership.
Benefits for breeders:
This program allows breeders to expand their breeding program while ensuring their dogs receive the individual attention and family socialization that's best for their development and well-being.
The arrangement typically lasts until the dog completes their breeding career, at which point full ownership usually transfers to the guardian family.
Snow Peak Goldens utilizes guardian homes to ethically expand our breeding program while ensuring each of our dogs receives the individual time, attention, happiness, and care they deserve in a loving family environment.
