What is a "Guardian" home?

Here at Depot Dachsies, our goal has always been breeding, healthy, happy dogs with great temperaments!  We believe that dogs are family and we want to do everything we can to make sure our pups get the best forever families. 

 

The guardian program allows us to grow our program and continue to better our breed, without sacrificing any of our dogs' happiness and need for love and attention. While we want to keep all of our dogs with us, we understand that they may be happier with more one on one attention than we can give them and that's when a guardian home is the perfect solution.

​

As a guardian home, you are the permanent home for one of our breeding dogs, or puppies, while they are in our program.  They live with you, their forever family, but are on contract to come back to us for breeding.  Once they are retired (and spayed/neutered), full ownership transfers to the guardian family and they get to keep the dog forever.

​

Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our top pick puppies or young adults as a family pet (at a significantly reduced cost) while he or she remains in our program!  You get a top pick dog, at a greatly reduced cost and we pay you a stipend per litter or stud fee per litter.

​

By offering the guardian program, we are able to ensure that our dogs get to live the best possible lives in a loving, caring home where they receive as much one on one attention as possible and already live with their forever families.
