Doodles of Joy loves our dogs and wants them to not only be a breeding dog, but a member of a loving family. This is why we have a Guardian Home Program for our breeding dogs.
All of our breeding dogs are fully health tested. Once a puppy has been selected as a breeding dog, it will be placed in an approved Guardian Home. All breeding expenses will be covered by Doodles of Joy. The female dogs will come to Doodles of Joy for breeding (typically once a year for four or five years), for about a week. She returns to the guardian home during her pregnancy. She will return to Doodles of Joy about a week prior to her due date to have her puppies, and will remain with us until her puppies are weaned. She will usually be gone from the guardian home approximately 7-8 weeks a year. The male dogs will come to our home, as needed, for a few days to breed with our females. Upon completion of the Guardian Home contract, the dogs will be spayed/neutered by Doodles of Joy.
THERE IS A $500.00 ADOPTION FEE FOR FEMALE GUARDIAN HOME DOGS WHICH WILL BE REFUNDED IN THE AMOUNT OF $100.00 AFTER THE FIRST LITTER AND EACH LITTER THERE AFTER UNTIL THE FULL AMOUNT HAS BEEN REFUNDED.
THERE IS A $500.00 ADOPTION FEE FOR MALE GUARDIAN HOME DOGS WHICH WILL BE REFUNDED IN THE AMOUNT OF $100.00 AFTER THE FIRST LITTER AND EACH YEAR THEREAFTER. UNTIL THE FULL AMOUNT HAS BEEN REFUNDED.
