What is a Guardian Home?

Guardian Homes Explained

Lets our dogs get a more individual environment

This dog is able to grow up as a family member, receive more individual training, and care.


Guardian home is a term for someone who agrees to take one of our puppies or adult dogs on a co-ownership basis with the understanding that we will potentially breed and / or show them.

A way for a breeder to improve their program

While we can’t keep every dog back, this allows us to see how a puppy matures to consider in our future pairings.

Homes must be in Florida-


These options allow us to pair and produce the next generation.  

Allows families to receive a well bred dog for a reasonable cost

Each agreement is custom built between the Breeder and Guardian.

Discounts, reimbursements, and agreements vary.   

Is a legal agreement that requires frequent communication and availability.

This is a contractual agreement, varying in specifics for each home. 


Once your dog is 2 years old we have by then evaluated and decided to utilize them for our kennel.

Depending on the agreement we will take your pup to be shown/ health tested/ examined by appointment. 

We keep in contact, plan and discuss appointments to make it as least invasive as possible.
