Here at The Perks Of Pups, we believe that every dog deserves to have a loving, forever home. All of our dogs are part of our family and live in our home rather than kennels. This ensures that each dog gets as much attention as possible. Unfortunately, we don’t have unlimited amounts of room in our home. So, we’ve implemented something called the Guardian Home Program. A Guardian Home is a permanent home for one of our breeding males or females where they are loved and cared for by the same family they will be living with when they retire.

Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our choice puppies as a family pet, but rather than buying this puppy you will be putting down a $150 deposit that will be returned at the end of his/her breeding career (3-4 litters or up to the age of 4 for females & up to the age of 6 for males). Once retired, he/she will be neutered/spayed at our expense and returned back to you. We reserve the right to cancel our guardianship program at any time if we deem it necessary.

If you are a Guardian for one of our females you will be compensated $50/puppy OR $300/litter (your choice) once her puppies go home. You are welcome to schedule a visit while she is with us and play with the puppies!

As a Guardian Home, you will be required to pay for the everyday expenses of dog ownership including food, vaccines, annual exams, etc. We will pay for all breeding-related costs including health testing.

Becoming a Guardian Home is not for everyone. You must be willing and able to follow and meet these requirements:

• Have previous experience with dogs.

• Be willing to teach basic commands such as sit, stay, lay-down, and leave it

• Be willing to socialize puppies

• He/She must be an indoor pet and never left unattended outside

• Feed a premium, quality food

• All other dogs in the home MUST be fixed if they are of the opposite sex

• Provide regular exercise

• Willing to let us, the breeder, visit your home

• Contact Breeder immediately in the event of a serious illness or accident

• Send a copy of all vet visits to Breeder

• Must not allow he/she to mate with any unapproved dogs

• Provide veterinary care when needed

• Be able to communicate with us, the breeder, about scheduling testing, mating, whelping, and anything else breeding-related.

• *If you are a guardian for a female dog, you must be willing to drop her off for 1-2 weeks while she is bred. Then drop her back off 1 week prior to her whelping date. She will stay with us until the puppies are weaned.

• *If you are a guardian for a male dog, you must be willing to drop him off for 3-5 days for breedings unless arrangements are made ahead of time for us to pick him up.

If you are interested in becoming a Guardian Home fill out the Guardian Home application and we will get back to you shortly. We look forward to hearing from you!
