Guardian Program - We do not have any guardians available now or in the near future.  

In order for us to give our dogs the best possible home, it is important for us to limit the number of dogs in our home. Our guardian program allows families in the Treasure Valley to have our “pick of the litter puppy” or from time to time, we may have an adolescent/adult breeding dog as well. These Guardian Home pooches are placed for a fraction of the price of our pet placements. The Guardian Home puppy or dog is part of the Guardian Home’s Family forever, while the breeding rights are retained by us. There are time limits on a breeding dog’s career. Once the Guardian Dog has completed his/her breeding career, we will turn over official ownership to the Guardian Family.

​

We want to make this work in the best way possible for her puppies and parents!

~ Q & A ~

​

Is there a cost involved to be a Guardian home?

Yes. There is a deposit. When the Guardian puppy has completed his/her breeding career for us, we will transfer him/her to the Guardian.

​

Our Guardian Home Families are responsible for the general routine veterinary care and wellness of the Guardian puppy placed with them. This means annual vaccines, feeding high-quality dog food, acceptable grooming (not home grooming), training, regular exercise, socialization, and most importantly all the love, care, and attention possible!

​

Any breeding related medical costs for the Guardian puppy are the expense of Eagle Ridge. Our Guardian Homes are only responsible for the maintenance and medical care just as they would if they had their own dog.

 

What are the Benefits and Obligations of Being a Guardian Home?

A Guardian Family gets what we consider to the  very best Eagle Ridge has to offer in an Australian Labradoodle! This means we choose the puppies we would like to breed based on the best qualities that families have known, loved, and come to expect in one of Eagle Ridge puppies.

 

Can I have my own litter of puppies after I have learned everything about breeding from Eagle Ridge Australian Labradoodles?

We have a ten year “no breed” clause in our contract for Guardians who want to learn from us to breed their own litters. Sorry!
