We now raise most of our future breeding pooches on site for their first ~2 years of life. We then place them into guardian homes so that they can enjoy having a dedicated family to themselves while they have litters.
The Guardian Program isn't for all families, but it can be a great option for families who enjoy the idea of their companion having pups. There is an increased relationship with the breeder, free boarding, and a reduced upfront cost with refunds provided whenever a dog has a litter.
Currently the lovely Ember is available for a guardian home. She is two years old, and has a very affectionate personality.
We always hold the top pick of pup back from each litter we have, and these are the dogs that we place with guardian families.
Our guardian program was created so that our dogs can have the best of both worlds...Dogs who love being mothers and fathers, but who also want to live the good life and hold down a chesterfield with a family all to themselves!
It all begins with you: Our Families. If you fall in love with a dog you meet here, you could be the proud family to a Starstruck guardian dog! We offer a few perks unique to guardian families, including free boarding when you're away from home!
Guardian dogs live with their families most of the year, but return to us for breeding for an agreed upon amount of time. Each contract is a little different, as each dog is a little different. Girls are generally needed back for 1 to 3 litters, while males are needed multiple times until a certain age.
When these dogs retire completely from our breeding program, they remain with their families for the rest of their lives.
