GUARDIAN HOMES
What is a guardian home? A guardian home is a family who becomes a forever home for one of our dogs in our breeding program. This program is designed in a way to benefit everyone, most inportantly the dogs, who are raised in the home that becomes their permanent forever home after their time of breeding is over.
We retain ownership and breeding rights while the dog lives with the guardian family. When the guardian dog is of age, we will get his/her health clearances done and then breed them to a sire of our choosing.
The guardian dog comes to our home to be bred and then she will return to the guardian family until one week before her expected due date when she will return to us to whelp and until her puppies are weaned and ready to be placed in their new homes. The guardian dog will then be returned back to you, her guardian family.
Guardian families are responsible for normal dog care including but not being limited to: training, vet care, food, treats, grooming, monthly worming, and flea and tick care. (Fox Ridge Golden Retrievers pays for all breeding related expenses and health testing.)
When we deem not to breed the guardian anymore the guardian dog is spayed at Fox Ridge Golden Retrievers expense and ownership is transferred to the guardian family.
Must live within 2 hours of Fox Ridge Golden Retrievers.
If you think you would make a great guardian family, please fill out the application and hit send. We only accept guardian homes that live within two hours of us.
Benefits of a Guardian Home
We take pride in our guardian home program. It’s a unique opportunity for families who love dogs and want to be involved in our breeding program.
The benefits of being a guardian home are many. You get to enjoy the companionship of a beautiful, well-bred Golden Retriever without the financial commitment of full ownership. You also get to be a part of our breeding program and help us produce the next generation of Fox Ridge Goldens.
Our breeding dogs are carefully selected for their health, temperament, and conformation, so you can be assured that you are getting a high-quality dog.
When the dog comes back to us for breeding and whelping, we take care of all of the associated costs.
If you are interested in becoming a guardian home for one of our Fox Ridge Goldens, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss whether this program is a good fit for you and your family.
