Our guardian homes take day to day care of the Poodle as they would their own pet, feeding, vetting, training, grooming etc. The difference is the Poodle will remain intact during it's breeding career and remain AKC/UKC registered to us. Females could have up to 3 litters, males could be used a couple times a year depending on different factors. We would cover any expenses related to the breeding, whelping, raising the litter and placing the puppies on our purchase contract. Females would come back to us to have and raise their litter, this would be a great time to plan a vacation and not have to pay for a pet sitter/boarding.
Those that live within 50 miles of Athol, MA, have prior dog experience and desire to compete in dog sports or companion events make the best guardian homes however if interested please inquire!
It's a great option to obtain a quality Poodle at a discounted rate then potentially end up getting that upfront money back (AKA “free” Poodle). Ask us for our guardian home contract.
