Welcome to our Guardian Program! A guardian home provides many benefits for the guardian family, the breeder and most importantly the dog.
What exactly is a Guardian Home?
A guardian family is a place where one of our Australian Labradoodle dogs or puppies chosen specially for Legend Labradoodle breeding program lives as a wonderful family dog. Legend Labradoodles retains all breeding rights and the guardian family gets a pet for a reduced fee. The dog or puppy will live with you and come to Legend Labradoodles only when required testing needs to be done, when its time to be bred or when if female she is ready to have her puppies. Once the guardian dog has completed his/her career it will be spayed or neutered at the breeders expense and the dog will then remain as a forever pet to the guardian.
What is the cost to being a Guardian?
Guardian Home families are responsible for general veterinary care and wellness of the puppy /dog placed with them, that includes annual vaccines, feeding it high quality dog food, grooming, heartworm, flea and tick prevention, exercise, socialization, training, and lots of love and care!
Any breeding related medical costs for the guardian dog are at the expense of Legend Labradoodles. Our guardian homes are only responsible for the maintenance and medical care just as they would their own dogs.
