What is a Guardian Home?

First and foremost, our dogs are beloved members residing in family homes. For us to give our dogs and puppies the best possible home it is important for us to limit how many dogs we keep in our home. However, being a responsible breeder of quality dogs, we periodically select new puppies to be evaluated for our program to continue strong bloodlines. We like to keep a few of our pick puppies to monitor their growth and development, and some of these puppies will eventually fit into our breeding program. We prefer to place these pick puppies in Guardian homes. All dogs need to be a part of a family to develop to their full potential, which is why we have the guardian program.

The selected guardian family will raise, love and keep the puppy as a member of their family. The guardian dog will be your family pet and a part of your family, while ownership is retained by Loving Hearts Goldendoodles. This guardian program allows local families an opportunity to own a “pick of the litter” and is of substantial value, while your upfront cost is entirely FREE.

LHG’s possession for breeding (Female)

Veterinary appointments (progesterone testing, health testing, monitor pregnancy)
Breeding (usually 4 litters per female, depending on the female’s health) Typically, the female will be brought to meet the male and return home with the Guardian Family. This will usually happen three times for each heat/ breeding cycle, but more visits may be required if a successful breeding does not take place within the first few visits
Whelping 5 days prior to due date and when we feel it is safe for Mom to leave (approximately 7-9 weeks)
Bonding - it is important that the Guardian dog is comfortable being at our home and around all of our dogs

Along with getting a pick of the litter puppy at no cost, we also PAY YOU for each litter whelped for female Guardian dogs! We pay more to you depending on the level of training you complete with her.

LHG’s possession for breeding (Male)

Veterinary appointments (i.e. health testing, artificial insemination collecting)
Breeding - For each breeding event, LHG may require access to the male breeding dog on three separate occasions, 24 to 48 hours apart. Sometimes, more breedings are necessary.
Bonding - it’s important that the Guardian dog is comfortable being at our home and around all of our dogs.

Being a Guardian and caring for a dog is a big commitment, so please talk with your spouse and family members before inquiring. If you are seriously interested in being considered, please contact us and submit an application.

Thank you for your interest!
