Guardian Program

---

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! 

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-six 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.

During her time with us, the guardian family may visit as often as they wish and enjoy watching and being a part of the puppies life as they grow.  Some guardians take the opportunity to go on holiday while the mumma is with us.

The boys are required for about three days to perform their services after which time they return home. 

The cost of the guardian dog is a fraction of the cost of the puppy price. There is an agreement 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, and may be de-sexed. Ownership is then transferred to the Guardian. By then we hope you will want to add to your family with another Aamberdell Doodle! 

To qualify, you must reside on or near the Gold Coast. For the right guardian, exceptions may be made for Brisbane and Sunshine Coast residents, provided they are willing to transport the dog to our specialist vet in Stafford, Brisbane, as required.

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.
