Guardian Home Program | Pureheart Spaniels

Guardian Home Program...

Our breeding program focuses on the health and quality of life for each dog. We feel they should always be first and foremost a beloved companion. To ensure our dogs have the best possible life and develop to their full potential, it is important for us

to limit the number of dogs we keep at our home.

We are also committed to being a responsible breeder of quality dogs.

in order to preserve this wonderful

breed, we need to add quality dogs

to our breeding program

To do so, we occasionally place a 'pick puppy' into a Guardian Home where they can flourish in a family environment while we monitor their development. We stay in close contact with them and their Guardian Home and assess them as they grow. Our goal is for these 'pick puppies' to eventually become part of our breeding program and thereby contribute to the continuation of this breed.

~ The details of the Guardian Home Program ~

This works as a partnership between carefully selected Guardian Home Parents and ourselves.

This special arrangement is based on mutual trust and a shared commitment to

the continuation of this wonderful breed, through our breeding program.

Puppies placed in a Guardian Home are:

offered at a significantly reduced price in exchange for their contribution to our breeding program,
placed with their new Guardian families but we retain ownership until their contribution to our breeding program has ended, ownership is then transferred after the spay/neuter is completed,
under a special 'Guardian Home Program Contract' outlining this special arrangement, and
monitored for temperament, health and their conformity to breed standard.

The Guardian Home Families commitment:

To work cooperatively within the terms of the Guardian Home Program, for a duration of up to 5 years.
To be an excellent Guardian Home and provide the utmost care and attention to the dog, following the recommendations provided by us for food, grooming, training, veterinary care, and general maintenance.
To stay in regular contact with us, providing pictures and updates.
To make the dog available for viewing, visiting, and evaluating periodically.

To ensure the dog is spayed/neutered once their contribution to the breeding program has been completed.

~ Final Thoughts on the Guardian Home Program ~

We are entrusting the Guardian Home Family with a top pick puppy who will be future contributor to our breeding program. Guardian Home Families raise the puppy in a home environment as a beloved member of their family.

This special arrangement allows local families to have one of the best Springer Spaniels available at a reduced cost.

The guardian home program is an excellent deal for the dog, the Guardian Home Families, and for us.

It's beneficial for the breed in that it enables us to continue to produce exceptional English Springer Spaniels.

It's one of those "win - win" situations for everyone involved.
