You may ask: What is a Guardian Home?
A Guardian Home is the same as a dog Host Home. The dog is to live and be homed by the guardian family. This is a great opportunity for a person or family to enjoy a “pick of the litter” puppy/dog that is considered for breeding by the breeder. These dogs are usually the best of the best. A great dog at a great price.
Often, there is a deposit to ensure commitment by the guardian home and then reimbursed over the time of the breeding career. The deposit also can be reimbursed at the end of the breeding career. That is at the breeders discretion. The puppy/dog remains the ownership of the breeder until the end of the breeding career and then becomes the Guardian Home’s dog forever after. Guardian families are responsible for day to day care. Typically at the age of 6 years, the dog then becomes part of the forever home.
It does take a commitment and the willingness to be flexible for the needs of the breeder, but I believe it is well worth it to receive what is typically a “best of the best” puppy or dog. Of course, there are requirements set forth in a contract that must be followed.
So, next time you are looking for a great Saint Bernard or Newfoundland puppy/dog, consider the host home option.
