Guardian Program
What is it? A great experience!
This is a program that ensures our breeding dogs receive the comfort and attention they deserve as a beloved pet without having to live their lives out in an impersonal kennel. They are placed with caring families and come to us for breeding.
Being fortunate enough to have a guardian dog allows you to be part of the breeding experience (without the work) as you share in the excitement of watching their off-spring grow; and they grow so fast over the eight weeks that they are with us. We encourage guardian families to visit often for a play and cuddle after the puppies are three weeks old. What a treat that is for everyone – a little slice of heaven!
How long are they away?
Our girls will come to us a week prior to their due date (to be spoilt and loved like our own pups). This ensures that they settle in to our household routine and are happy and content before the big event. Once the puppies are born, mum will stay with us until they are about five weeks old. Usually by this time mum has had enough of her little darlings and is spending more and more time away from them. She’s ready to return to her loving guardian home again. She will generally have two or three litters.
The boys are required for about three days to perform their services after which time they return home.
Legal stuff
The cost of the guardian dog is a fraction of the cost of the puppy price. There is a contract between Aamberdell Labradoodles and the Guardian which lasts until the dog is five years old (the first year for a female is inactive as she matures). After the contract ends the dog is retired, de-sexed and ownership is transferred to the Guardian. By then we hope you will want to add to your family with another Aamberdell Doodle!
Our breeding girls and boys
The photos in the gallery below are indicative of the lives we intend our breeding girls and boys to have. We are so appreciative of the love, care and adventure they are given by their families. The photo on the right is Aamberdell Amara (Daisy) out enjoying her life. She will one day be a mumma. Until then (and afterwards) she will be a loved member of her hooman family.
