Welcome to our Guardian Program!

Welcome to our Program! We are breeders engaged in breeding Poodles, Bernedoodles, Goldendoodles, and Golden Mountain Doodle, Golden Retriever, and Bernese Mountain dog. Our dogs are considered beloved members of our family. We created this Guardian-Home Program to grow our breeding program while still providing each of our breeding dogs with a loving environment in a guardian family. By joining our program you desire to, and will act as a guardian for a Poodle, Goldendoodle, Bernedoodle, Golden Mountain Doodle, Golden Retriever, or Bernese Mountain dog that is either a female potential or proven breeder, or a male potential or proven breeder, subject to the terms of this agreement. The following will explain the Guardian Home Program, including our requirements for guardian families while said dog is active in the breeding program, obligations we will assume as owner, and how said dog will become a permanent member of your family. Benefits of the Guardian Home Program This dog is “pick of the litter,” with an estimated value of $80,000 and up for females and $100,000 and up for males. Your initial cost is ($0.00). Red Door Canines(owner) will pay all vet costs associated with the breeding of the dog.

Please understand this is NOT your dog and decisions are made with the dog and puppies first and foremost. Trying to sabotage the breeding process because you no longer want your dog out of your home for two to three months a year is unacceptable and this contract will be void. If you are not emotionally stable enough to allow the dog to be with me during mating/whelping, then please DO NOT be a guardian family. This is teamwork for the greater good. We are providing dogs that heal hearts and truly make a difference. This is not a self-serving agreement. You have to be able to trust me, as I do you. I do not helicopter parent you, so please allow me the same courtesy.
