Information About Our Dog Guardian Homes
Have you ever considered joining a guardian puppy program? Now’s your chance – with Sugar Plum Australian Labradoodles!
As a PA-based breeder, we’re always looking for new families to provide loving, protective, and social dog guardian homes. Our dog guardian homes ensure that each of Sugar Plum’s breeding dogs enjoys a safe and happy permanent place to live. They’ll live as cherished pets of their guardian family both during their breeding period and after retirement.
Many dog lovers will agree, puppies are best served when being raised by a family – not a kennel. For this reason and more, we chose to create a wonderful puppy guardian program for our fluffy family members. See if you qualify for our dog guardianship program, and learn more below!
Why Become a Guardian Home for Breeding Dogs?
Becoming a guardian home for breeding dogs is an invaluable opportunity for families who want a dog but may not have the funds to purchase one at the time!
Agreeing to be in our guardian puppy program means that you’re given a pick-of-the-litter quality pooch – along with several costs covered by us! Sugar Plum handles all costs related to the program, while our guardian families are responsible only for the dog’s cost of living (food, regular veterinarian visits, etc.).
The ideal type of guardian home for our breeding dogs are ones that agree to raise him/her as their family pet while allowing them to remain part of our cherished breeding stock.
