It is critical to us that ALL of our dogs are a part of our family. Unfortunately, we are unable to keep all of the dogs we will be using for breeding in our home. That is where you come in! Occasionally, we would like to add a puppy to our program as a potential future mom or dad.  A guardian family is carefully selected to raise on of our future breeding dogs.  Our goal is to place the puppy with their forever family as young as possible, and we will be the puppy's "home away from home" and second family.  

Here are a few of the main things that we expect from our guardians:

• Must be located within a one hour driving distance of our home (Manchester, IA).

• Must provide proper vet care, nutrition and exercise (All documents sent to us).

• We require that our dogs live inside. We also prefer our guardians to have a fenced in yard.

• Must keep the dog groomed and free of fleas & ticks.

• Must properly train and socialize the dog/puppy.

• Must be willing to travel & meet at our facility with dog during needed times.

Special considerations for female dog guardian homes: When your female comes in heat, we will keep her here at our home for a few days for the breeding process. She will also stay here for the duration of whelping her litter. Litters will be whelped and raised in our home, no exceptions. Our guardians are always welcome to visit a any point during this time. Guardians must familiarize themselves with heat cycles and be able to detect this in their female and keep her away from all intact males during that time.

Special considerations for owning a male dog: When needed for breeding, males will stay with us for up to a week at a time. Males must be kept away from all intact females AT ALL TIMES. Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate removal of the dog and a fee.
