Guardian Home program?
Become a Guardian
At Little Pupz, we wholeheartedly believe that every single one of our breeding dogs deserves immense love, undivided attention, and a place in a loving home as cherished pets. We are passionately dedicated to finding exceptional families who are eager to welcome a new, four-legged member into their hearts and homes. Through our guardian program, we offer the incredible opportunity for guardians to get pick the we can offer, at a fraction of the regular price. It's our way of ensuring these precious pups receive the care, love, and attention they deserve, while still being part of our breeding program.
Puppy
Our guardian homes consist of meticulously chosen pet owners who have not only met but exceeded our stringent requirements. They provide a nurturing and forever home in a secure and loving environment for the special 'pick of the litter' puppy we carefully select to join our esteemed breeding program. These exceptional individuals are entrusted with the responsibility of raising, nurturing, and training these extraordinary puppies. By becoming a guardian home, you not only welcome a lifelong companion into your family but also play an indispensable role in our breeding program, contributing to the future generation of remarkable dogs
Being Part
At Little Pupz, we deeply value our Guardian Homes, and we want to ensure complete transparency about the process. While most Guardian Homes will receive a puppy, in certain cases, an older puppy may be assigned.
The age at which our male dogs start breeding is typically until they reach 4 years of age, while females usually begin breeding around their second or third heat. The responsibilities between males and females during breeding differ significantly.
We believe in responsible breeding practices. Once the dog's breeding career comes to an end, we take care of the cost of spaying or neutering. The dog will then continue to reside in their forever home with their guardian family. We want you to know that we genuinely care about our Guardian Homes and are committed to ensuring the well-being of our dogs throughout their entire lives
what is our Guardian Home program?
Females
At Little Pupz, we are thrilled to embark on this incredible breeding journey together with our Guardian Homes. Our primary goal is to ensure the health and well-being of our dogs while creating an exciting and rewarding experience for everyone involved. For our amazing female dogs, we aim to breed them up to two litters, provided their health permits. During their heat cycles, we will schedule them to come to us for breeding. Rest assured, as a Guardian, you will receive unwavering support from our dedicated team to ensure you are fully prepared for the whelping process. The mom dog will give birth right in the comfort of her own home, the Guardian Home. On this special day, we will be by your side, offering guidance in person and providing all the necessary supplies to ensure a smooth and successful whelping experience. As a Guardian, you will have the joy of caring for the adorable puppies until they reach four weeks of age. We will provide you with comprehensive training and all the supplies needed to make this journey enjoyable and fun. Once the puppies and mom have reached the four-week mark, they will come to us and stay at our home until they are fully weaned, which is typically at eight weeks old. Rest assured, the mom will then return to her loving Guardian Home. We understand the importance of recognizing your contribution as a Guardian, and we offer compensation options that suit your preferences. You can choose between receiving 25% of the final puppy sales or selecting one puppy from the litter as your compensation. This compensation is provided per litter, acknowledging your dedication and commitment to our breeding program. We are genuinely grateful for your partnership and eagerly anticipate the incredible moments we will share as we bring new life into the world.
Males
Our beloved boys at Little Pupz have a slightly different role in the breeding process. Unlike the females, they have shorter times away from home for breeding-related appointments. In most cases, these appointments only require them to be away for either the morning or the afternoon but can last up to a week. Their job is simpler and demands less compared to the females. As a guardian of a stud, you are entrusted with the responsibility of caring for your furry companion. You play a vital role in providing a loving and nurturing environment for your pet. At Little Pupz, we take care of all the breeding-related expenses, ensuring that you can focus on giving your stud the attention and care he deserves. In terms of compensation, we offer a compensation of $25 per puppy for each successful litter up to $250. This acknowledges your valuable contribution to our breeding program and the dedication you show in caring for your stud. We appreciate your commitment and look forward to sharing this rewarding journey with you. We value your partnership and are excited to be on this incredible journey together.
Cost
At Little Pupz, we offer an incredible opportunity for our Guardian Homes that comes with both financial benefits and the joy of having a cherished companion. As a Guardian, you will pay approximately one-third of the regular pet price, which amounts to $500 for your puppy. This significantly reduced price reflects our appreciation for your commitment and involvement in our program. While the upfront cost is reduced, as a Guardian, you will be responsible for the routine pet ownership expenses that come with caring for your furry family member. These include essential aspects such as routine vet care, heartworm and flea and tick treatment, premium dog food, dog training, pet supplies, and grooming. These costs ensure the overall well-being and happiness of your puppy. What makes this opportunity truly exceptional is that all breeding-related expenses are covered by Little Pupz. We take care of the costs associated with genetic testing, OFA testing, c-section surgeries, spay/neuter surgery, AI procedures, ultrasounds, and more. We understand the importance of maintaining the health and welfare of our breeding dogs, and we are fully dedicated to shouldering these responsibilities. By joining our Guardian Home program, you not only gain a wonderful companion at a reduced cost but also have the peace of mind knowing that Little Pupz covers the substantial breeding-related expenses. This amazing opportunity allows you to be an integral part of our breeding program without the financial burdens typically associated with it. We genuinely believe this is an extraordinary chance to be a part of something special, and we are thrilled to offer it to dedicated individuals like yourself. Together, we can create a nurturing and loving environment for our dogs, while sharing in the joy and excitement of bringing beautiful puppies into the world.
