Guardian Home Program
Australian Labradoodle Breeder near Denver, Colorado
Our Guardian Home Program
At Agape Labradoodles, we believe our breeding dogs should first and foremost be beloved family members. Rather than raising our dogs in a kennel environment, we partner with carefully selected Guardian Families who provide them with loving, permanent homes.
A Guardian Dog lives with you as your family companion while remaining part of the Agape Labradoodles breeding program for a limited period of time. When the dog’s breeding career is complete, he or she retires permanently with the Guardian Family.
What It Means to Be a Guardian Home
Becoming a Guardian Family is a wonderful opportunity to welcome a high-quality Australian Labradoodle into your home while also becoming an important part of the Agape Labradoodles family.
Guardian Families are responsible for the everyday love, care, training, grooming and routine veterinary needs of their dog. Agape Labradoodles arranges and covers breeding-related health testing and expenses associated with our breeding program.
Before entering our breeding program, each potential breeding dog must successfully complete the health testing and evaluations required by Agape Labradoodles.
If Your Guardian Dog Does Not Qualify for Breeding
Not every puppy selected as a potential breeding dog will ultimately qualify for our breeding program. If your Guardian Dog does not meet our breeding requirements, the dog will be retired from the program.
The Guardian Family will be responsible for the cost of the spay or neuter. Once the procedure has been completed and verified, complete ownership of your Guardian Dog will be transferred to you.
Female Guardian Dogs
Our female Guardian Dogs live with their Guardian Families throughout their breeding careers, except when they need to be with Agape Labradoodles for breeding, whelping and raising their puppies.
Females typically have three to four litters, depending upon their health, well-being and the needs of our breeding program.
When a female has completed her breeding commitment, she will retire permanently with her Guardian Family. The Guardian Family is responsible for the cost of her spay. Once the spay has been completed and verified, complete ownership will be transferred to the Guardian Family.
Male Guardian Dogs
Our male Guardian Dogs also live full-time with their Guardian Families. From time to time, they will need to be available to Agape Labradoodles for breeding or related reproductive procedures.
Once a male has completed his breeding commitment, he will retire permanently with his Guardian Family. The Guardian Family is responsible for the cost of his neuter. Once the neuter has been completed and verified, complete ownership will be transferred to the Guardian Family.
Our Partnership with Guardan Families
Our Guardian Home Program is truly a partnership. Communication, trust and a shared commitment to the health and happiness of each dog are very important to us.
We stay involved throughout your dog’s breeding career and are always available to answer questions and provide support. Our goal is for every Guardian Dog to enjoy the love and stability of one permanent family throughout his or her entire life.
