About Guardia Del Corpo Guardianship Homes.

 A guardianship home for dog breeders is a unique arrangement where a breeder places one or more breeding dogs in the care of a responsible individual or family. This approach is often utilized by ethical and responsible breeders who prioritize the well-being and individual attention of their breeding dogs.

In a guardianship home for dog breeders, the breeder retains ownership of the breeding dog but entrusts the day-to-day care and living arrangements to the guardian family. The breeding dog lives with the guardian family as their pet and companion, receiving the love, attention, and care typical of a family dog.

The guardian family is responsible for the routine care of the breeding dog, which may include providing a suitable living environment, regular exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. The dog remains a part of the breeder's breeding program, and the breeder may request specific health testing or breeding-related activities during specific periods.

This arrangement benefits both the breeder and the breeding dog. The breeding dog receives a loving home environment and individual attention, while the breeder maintains a smaller number of dogs to care for directly. It allows breeders to focus on the well-being of their breeding stock and ensures that dogs receive the necessary care, socialization, and quality of life they deserve.

 Guardians are responsible for all “regular” dog care including providing food, treats, toys, etc. They are also responsible for normal vet care that is not breeding related. The dog must be kept UTD on all shots, flea and tick meds, and heartworm meds at guardians expense. You will receive a top quality dog that has been hand selected by us to remain in our program at no upfront cost to you! The guardian program allows us to grow our program and continue to better our breeds, without sacrificing any of our dogs happiness and need for love and attention. While we want to keep all of our dogs with us, we understand that they will be happier with more one on one attention than we can give them.

As a guardian home, you are the permanent home for one of our breeding dogs while they are in our program. Once they are retired (and spayed/neutered at our expense), full ownership transfers to the guardian family and they get to keep the dog forever.

Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our puppies or young adults as a family pet while he or she remains in our program at no upfront cost to you!

By offering the guardian program, we are able to ensure that our dogs get to live the best possible lives in a loving, caring home where they receive as much one on one attention as possible.
