You could be a part of our wonderful program!
Here at Daffodil Hill we feel to maintain our lines and move forward with always improving the breed we need to have a variety of breeding dogs in our program. Our guardian program was designed so that we may expand our breeding program in a way that keeps our dogs happiest. Our dogs will never live in kennels or outside. Australian Labradoodles thrive on being loved members of a family. They belong right beside their people in a loving home. We have been blessed with wonderful, loving guardian homes and will have a select few puppies available who will be in need of a guardian home in the future.
**All puppies in our guardian program will be chosen by Daffodil Hill. This isn’t the type of thing where you say “we love Pluto, can he be in your guardian program.“ We have a very long list of specifications the puppy must meet before it will be held back as a momma or daddy hopeful for us. There is a lot more that goes into it than just a cute face.
*Also, our guardian program isn’t ran on a first come, first served basis. We pick the best families at the time who are interested. This is a very serious commitment and not one we take lightly.
To be considered to be a guardian family you must:
1. Live within 1 hour of Carlisle, Indiana. If not, you must be willing to transport your dog to and from Daffodil Hill.
2. Own, not rent your home.
3. Have a fenced in yard. (We may make an exception to this on a case by case basis)
4. Feed only Life's Abundance dog food which will be ordered by you, paid for by you, and shipped to your home.
5. Follow our vaccination protocol.
6. Get your dog groomed every 6-8 weeks by our groomer in Sullivan, Indiana to maintain the Australian Labradoodle look at your expense. If you cannot use our groomer you must find one who will groom your dog to our specifications.
7. Complete at least one obedience class at your expense.
8. Monthly photos and updates so that we may keep in touch with how the puppy is maturing.
9. Making the puppy available for testing and vet visits as we see necessary.
10. Love your puppy!
Our guardian families get to experience the best that Daffodil Hill has to offer. We only keep back the best puppies who exhibit qualities we want passed on in future litters. We will pay for all health testing to make sure the puppy is worthy of becoming a breeding dog for us. If for some reason, the puppy does not pass our health testing standards, the puppy will be altered and will remain in your home forever. If the puppy passes its testing to our standards it will have a few litters of puppies then will retire to a life of luxury in your home. The dog will live with us during the time she is raising her puppies (approx 8 weeks or less). When she is finished, she will come back to your home.
If you are interested in becoming member of the Daffodil Hill family by being a guardian, please let us know!
