​ PIGS N POODLES
    Guardian Program & Agreement


    The Basics of the Guardian Program:
    A dog needs to be a part of the family to develop their full potential. This is the reason we have a guardian dog program.
    We are giving the dog to the guardian family to raise and love and keep as a member of their family. The family must be approved as guardian parents and agree to abide by our contract of care. As a guardian puppy grows up, we monitor her temperament, drive, and health. If the female is exceptional, she will be used in our breeding program. Before any dog is bred, we will DNA/ HEALTH test her (at our expense) to verify that she does not have any genetic disease. This is done before GUARDIAN HAS BEEN PLACED or after her first heat cycle. If for any reason we find her results not good enough to breed, we HAVE TWO OPTIONS. ONE,YOU CAN BUY THE GUARDIAN OUTRIGHT FROM PIGSNPOODLES AND YOU MUST have the dog spayed AT YOUR EXPENSE and ownership is then signed over to the guardian family OR TWO, YOU CAN SIMPLY RETURN THE GUARDIAN BACK TO PIGSNPOODLES AND THE GUARDIAN CONTRACT WILL BE RELEASED.
    When a female has passed health testING, she will come back to our home when she comes into her 2nd heat cycle ( at 6th day) and stay with us until she has mated with the selected stud. SOMetimeS GUARDIANS MiSS THE 1st HEAT CYCLE, sO WE WILL BREED AT 18 MONTHS OR oLDER. ( PLEASE HAVE THE DAM IN A SHORT HAIRCUT TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF MATTING)
    This could mean that she is with us approx. 5 to 7 days. After being bred she will go back to her guardian home. 5 to 7 days before whelping (determined by breeder), she comes back to our home and has her babies here IN OUR HOME. ( PLEASE HAVE THE DAM SHAVED TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF MATTING) and stays until after she weans the pups (around 5-6 weeks). Females come into season up to twice a year. We may or may not breed each female every season. Timing of the breeding is at the discretion of the breeder. The guardian home program is an excellent deal for the dog, it's a good deal for the guardian parents, and it's a good deal for producing an exceptional doodle breeding program. It's one of those "win - win" situations for everyone involved. The family receives a quality, top pick dog. I am able to improve the breed by using only the best. But the main reason we have our guardian program is so that the dog lives in a home as a spoiled pet and gets lots of attention.

    Who Qualifies for a Guardian Dog?
    We are very selective of who we choose to become a guardian family. Our primary concern is that our dogs go into safe homes where they will be well taken care and loved as a family member. They must be in a home where they are not able to escape or get bred while in season. We expect the guardian parents to allow the dog to be a part of the
    family (a house dog). We look for people who are experienced dog owners. Guardian families should live within 1 hour of our home and provide transportation to us when needed. Everyone in the household should like the guardian arrangement. Guardian families must be willing to have us stop by on occasion with notice. Families that are interested in breeding dogs are not good guardian families. We are placing dogs in their permanent family home, not in a breeding home. We do not split litters with Guardian Parents. This is not a program for someone who wants to be a breeder, but a guardian program in order to provide good forever homes for our dogs.

    What are the Guardian Family's Responsibilities?
    Transportation to and from Pigs N Poodles when necessary OR WHEN ASKED. O
    While the guardian family does not pay for the puppy (or young adult), they must agree to purchase a dog crate, collar, leash, and all necessary items for pet care. They must also agree to feed a quality food that we recommend, and the Nuvet vitamins that we recommend. They are also expected to strictly follow feeding instructions during pregnancy. The guardian family must have a secure back yard for regular exercise. The guardian is responsible to take care of all the pet type fees as if it were your dog. (food, vet bills and care). ( Pigsnpoodles are responsible for any vet fees that are due to pregnancy.) THE GUARDIAN MUST SOCIALIZE THE DOG AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE DOG EVERYWHERE WITH YOU AS YOU CAN.

    How long do we share the dog?
    Females are in guardianship until they turn 5 years of age or after 4 complete litters (less than 3 puppies would not be counted as a complete litter). At the end of breeding, GUARDIAN MUST have her spayed and ownership papers will be signed over to guardian family. Males are in guardianship until they turn 6 years of age. At 6 years of age, after a written agreement is signed by Pigs N Poodles, we will get him neutered (up to $100 cost if not at our vet) and ownership papers will be signed over to guardian parents.

    Guardian homes should have the following:
    • Own their own home ( RENTING A HOME OR A APARTMENT IS ACCEPTABLE IF APPROVED BY PIGSNPOODLES)
    • Have their own car to transport.
    • Prior experience dog ownership is a must
    • Be willing to crate and house train the puppy. Teach the puppy basic obedience and/or therapy training.
    * BE WILLING TO TAKE THE DOG WITH YOU AND SOCIALIZE THE DOG AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
    • Afford to provide required high quality food as well as regular vet checks and vaccines.
    * Be able to keep the dog groomed and in a nice looking hair syle (natural length is best), however a cute teddy bear cut is accepted. Keeping the dog shaved at all times is not accepted.
    * DAM MUST BE IN A SHORT HAIRCUT DURNING BREEDING ( THIS AVOIDS MATTING)
    *DAM MUST BE SHAVED WHEN RETURNING TO PIGSNPOODLES TO WHELP HER PUPPIES. ( THIS AVOIDS MATTING)
    ​* Be able to send monthly pictures ON THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH/videos or more if asked
    • Be prepared to have their own vet listed as a reference
    • Fenced backyard to contain the puppy.
    • Be available to drive dog to and from our home for breeding and whelping.( we offer a delivery service If needed. Shipper charges 175-250 for pick up/ delivery. GuardIans responsible to pick up / deliver to us as asked or guardIan can pay the shipper to do so for them.
    • Keep us updated on the dog’s progress via email or text.
    * When in heat, we must be notified ON DAY 1,via phone and email. Pictures via TEXT/email every 2 WEEKS OF THE DAMS BELLY UNDERNEATH for us to follow the DAMS progress so that we can watch her develop. We MAY also MAKE A visit to our Guardian home every few months during the first year to assess the Guardian Puppy, as well as build a relationship with her for the future. Occasionally, we will ask our Guardian Families to bring the puppy to us for a visit so that she can get comfortable with our home for when she will be here with us in the future having babies :-).
    • Be willing to socialize the puppy by taking it everywhere possible and showing him/her life in general
    •It is the responsibility of the guardian parents to make sure the dog remains in good health. The guardian parents are required to keep the dog current on routine veterinary care, shots, rabies, and good grooming. We cover health certification expenses. We cover medical expenses incurred during breeding and whelping while at our home. •The guardian parents must keep us informed of the female’s cycles. Females can come into season 2 times a year but it is usually every 8 to 12 months. When a female starts to cycle or drip blood we expect to get an email or a phone call. Repeated attempts to contact us should continue, until confirmation is received from us that we have heard from you. If we plan to breed the female we will inform the guardian parents at this time. Females are usually bred between the 9th and 15th day of their season. We take them into our home about the 6th day.AT THE END OF THE BREEDING CONTRACT YOU MEST SPAY/NUTER THE DOG AT YOUR EXPENSE.

    What If I Have Another Dog Already In My Home?
    We will not place a female puppy in a home where there is an intact male. We would need to meet all other pets as part of the application process. Guardian family agrees to not have unaltered animals in the home during the Pigs N Poodles ownership period of the guardian dog.

    Who Owns the Dog:
    Pigs N Poodles owns the dog until breeding obligations are met. We sign a contract with the guardian family clearly identifying that we have full breeding rights and can breed the dog when we choose. The dog remains registered in our name until breeding obligations are complete. The guardian family will assume all liability for the dog at time of guardian agreement and are responsible for the dog for her entire life. Once the breeding obligations are met YOU, THE GUARDIAN will have the dog spayed or neutered at YOUR EXPENSE. At this point we will transfer ownership of the dog to the guardian. If at anytime the guardian family can no longer care for the dog, they agree to return her to Pigs N Poodles. The dog may not be sold or given to any other party without prior written permission from Pigs N Poodles

    Monetary Requirements & Penalties:
    If male is bred or neutered without permission from Tamara Brady, Pigs N Poodles, there is a $10,000 penalty and all puppies and monies produced from this are property of Tamara Brady , Pigs N Poodles. Legal action will be started for the breach in contract. Any legal fees incurred by Pigs N Poodles to enforce this agreement are the sole responsibility of the Guardian home.

    Under What Circumstances Do We Remove a Dog from a Guardian
    Home?
    There are very few reasons that we would REMOVE a puppy out of a guardian home.
    Reason for removal from a guardian home include, but not limited to, the following: The dog IS allowed to run loose when there is no supervision, the guardian family does not allow us to have the dog to accommodate the breeding schedule, the dog gets bred by accident, the guardian parents doES not tell us when a female comes in season, the dog is neglected or abused (according to our discretion),
    the guardian family moves before informing us personally, the dog must be rescued from an Animal Control facility.
    ****THE GUARDIAN DOES NOT FOLLOW THE 1ST OF EVERY MONTH VIDEO/PICTURES ( OF BODY ,FACE AND BELLY) /HEALTH &PERSONALITY UPDATE. ( THIS HAS A ZERO TOLERANCE & IF BY 2 MONTHS ZERO CONTACT FROM THE GUARDIAN AT ANY TIME, THE DOG WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GUARDIAN PROGRAM THE DAY PIGSNPOODLES SAY OR WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS THAT WILL ALL BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE GUARDIAN.
    The Guardian Parents must agree to all terms with Tamara Brady-Pigs N Poodles and sign a contract with the breeder.
    Any and all legal implications will be under jurisdiction of Putnam County, Tennessee ANY ANY EXPENSE WILL BE PAID BY THE GUARDIAN.

    WHAT HAPPENS IF THE GUARDIAN PROGRAM DOESN'T WORK FOR ONE OR BOTH PARTIES?
    IF THE GUARDIAN PROGRAM DOESN'T WORK FOR ONE OR BOTH PARTIES, THE GUARDIAN MUST RETURN THE GUARDIAN DOG THE DAY PIGSNPOODLES OR THE GUARDIAN DECIDES THE PROGRAM ISN'T WORKING THE GUARDIAN CAN BUY OUT THE GUARDIAN DOG only IF PIGSNPOODLES AGREES, AT THE PRICE PIGSNPOODLES DETERMINES. PRICES DO START AT 3500 AND GO UP.

    THE BREEDING PROCESS...
    YOU MUST understand that the breeding process is a time for the female to be bred and YOU MUST understand during this time, YOU will Not be allowed to visit during the breeding process due to no unwanted NECESSARY stress change. STRESS CHANGE CAUSES THE HORMONE LEVELS TO FLUCTUATE.

    THE DELIVERY PROCESS
    YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO VISIT YOUR DOG IN OUR HOME ONLY AFTER THE PUPPIES HAVE BEEN BORN AND ARE AT LEAST OVER THE AGE OF THREE WEEKS OR MORE.
