Guardian Program
What is a "Guardian" home?
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.
As a guardian home, you are the permanent home for one of our breeding dogs while they are in our program. 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.
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.
We are looking to expand our guardianship program in 2025/2026. A few requirements of the guardians include (see the contract for all requirements):
1.) Living within 65 - 95 minutes of Easton, MA.
2.) Staying in contact with us (it’s like a partnership) and sending pictures.
3.) Bringing the dog to us when needed for breeding and health testing.
In return we offer you a few perks! The perks include paying you a stipend for every litter produced, getting a puppy or dog quicker than our normal waitlist and getting our pick of the litter or choice dog! We are looking for guardianship homes for future puppies. If this something you may be interested in, please contact us!

We would like to put a puppy from Malibu's next litter in a guardianship home. She is a long hair, black and cream and is expected to be 11-14 lbs. She will be put on contract for 4 litters. We pay YOU per litter and you have the option to keep a puppy from her 4th litter. If you may be interested in being a guardian, please let us know! Pictured is a puppy from her last litter.
We will add pictures and information here as they arise. We are now keeping a guardian waitlist. If this interests you, let us know and we're happy to send you more information!
