We believe that no dog should live in a kennel. Guardian homes allow dogs in our breeding program to live a happy, normal life with another family. We require the right to 3 litters, and in exchange you receive a dog for an extremely discounted rate. They live with their Guardian parents full time, except when they come back to us for breeding and whelping. They do not breed before the age of 18 months, and they do not breed after 6. (Pertains to females).
Each contract is different, and can be tailored to suit both your needs and ours.
Requirements:
- You live within 2 hours of Pine Bush NY.
- You have a fully fenced in yard.
- You agree to obtain health insurance on your puppy. (We can recommend some great providers).
- A note on health insurance: We don't recommend having health insurance for everyday check-ups, deworming, grooming or teeth cleaning - but rather for the times when your puppy eats chocolate or other poisonous materials, consumes an entire sock from your hamper or cooked chicken bones out of the trash, or some other all too common (& costly) calamity requiring a rush to the emergency clinic. A single overnight stay at an emergency vet can run you upwards of $2,000, and if surgery is required you are looking at upwards of $5k. Without insurance, we recommend keeping $8,000 squirreled away SOLELY for a medical emergency. In lieu of that, a good insurance that covers all kinds of chronic illness, emergency surgery, therapy, diagnostics & medication won't cost you that much money over a 10 year period. We hate to see an otherwise healthy puppy put down or allowed to suffer because of an unplanned expense.
