In an effort to grow our Labradoodle family while ensuring that every breeding dog in our program receives a wonderful forever home with the love and attention they deserve, we are using a Guardian Home Program.

​

The guardian home dog will be a part of the guardian home’s family while the breeding rights are retained by Chickadee Labradoodles for a pre-set amount of time (at least 3 litters).  After the guardian dog is finished with her breeding career, she will be spayed (we will cover the costs) and she will stay a forever pet of her family, who will not have to pay the purchase price for her.  For Guardian Families who wish to go past three litters, there will be compensation.

​

Guardian families will have a legal contract with Chickadee Labradoodles through the duration of the guardian dog’s breeding career.  Before being chosen as a guardian home, families will undergo a screening and an interview.

​

Guardian home families will be responsible for general routine veterinary care and health of their guardian dog. This includes feeding them a high quality dog food, grooming them on a regular basis (non-professional is fine), flea/tick prevention as needed, exercising them regularly, socialization, and above all, giving them love and companionship.

​

 Any “breeding related” medical costs for the guardian dog will be covered by Chickadee Labradoodles. 

​

Additionally, for each successful litter we will be giving our guardian families $500 to compensate for the inconvenience.
