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 or after her first heat cycle. If for any reason we find her results not good enough to breed, we will have the dog spayed and ownership is then signed over to the guardian family.
When a female has passed health tests, 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.
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 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.
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).
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, Pigs N Poodles will have her spayed (up to $100 cost if not at our vet) 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
• 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.
• Afford to provide required high quality food as well as regular vet checks and vaccines.
• Be prepared to have their own vet listed as a reference
• Fenced backyard to contain the puppy.
• Be available to help drive dog to and from our home for breeding and whelping.
• Keep us updated on the dog’s progress via email or text. When in heat, we must be notified via phone and email. Pictures via email every 1 month for us to follow the puppy’s progress so that we can watch him/her develop, and update our website. We also will require a visit to our Guardian Family’s 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.
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 Pigs N Poodles will have the dog spayed or neutered at our cost. 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:

Home?

Reason for removal from a guardian home include, but not limited to, the following: The dog to 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 do 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.
These reasons will be discussed in detail before any puppy is placed in a Guardian Home. The Guardian Parents must agree to all terms with Tamara Brady-Pigs N Poodles and sign a contract with the breeder.
