What is A Guardian Home?

At Golden Garden Doodles, we believe every dog deserves to be raised as a beloved member of a family. Our Guardian Home Program allows us to place some of the best dogs in our program into loving homes where they can enjoy life exactly as a dog should.

Guardian families receive one of our top-quality dogs at no purchase cost. These dogs are carefully selected based on their health, temperament, structure, and breeding potential, making them among the most exceptional puppies we produce.

From the day your puppy comes home, they are part of your family. They will sleep in your home, make memories with your children, go on adventures, and share everyday life right alongside you. While Golden Garden Doodles retains breeding rights for a limited period, the dog lives with you full-time as your cherished companion.

Guardian families are responsible for routine expenses such as food, grooming, training, and regular veterinary care. Golden Garden Doodles covers all breeding-related expenses, including reproductive health testing, breeding costs, pregnancy-related care, and any expenses associated with the dog's role in our program.

Once the dog's breeding career is complete, we will arrange and pay for their spay or neuter. At that point, the dog simply continues life as your beloved family pet for the rest of their days, with no further obligations.

We love this program because it creates the best possible outcome for everyone involved. Our dogs enjoy a full and enriched life with their families, our guardian families receive an exceptional companion, and together we can continue responsibly raising healthy, well-tempered puppies for future families.

Guardian families must live within approximately two hours of Bolingbrook, Illinois.

If this sounds like a good fit for your family, we would love to connect with you and answer any questions you may have.
