Do You Want To Be A Part of Something Special?

At Daffodil Hill Australian Labradoodles, we believe the very best breeding program begins with happy, healthy dogs who are first and foremost beloved family members.

In order to continue improving our lines while maintaining the diversity needed for a responsible breeding program, we occasionally need to add exceptional dogs to our breeding family. Our Guardian Home Program allows us to do that without ever compromising what we believe is best for our dogs.

Our breeding dogs do not live in kennels or outbuildings. Australian Labradoodles are incredibly social, family-oriented dogs, and we believe they belong in homes—sleeping under the same roof as theparticipating in everyday family life, and receiving the ilove and attention they deserve.

Through our Guardian Program, a carefully selected family welcomes one of our breeding dogs into their home as their own. The dog lives their everyday life with their guardian family while remaining an important part of the Daffodil Hill breeding program for a predetermined period of time.

This arrangement allows us to continue producing healthy, well-tempered Australian Labradoodles while ensuring that every dog in our program gets something even more important:

A family of their own.

We have been incredibly fortunate to work with some wonderful Guardian Families over the years, and from time to time we will have select puppies or young dogs available for Guardian Home placement.

Becoming a Guardian Home can be an incredibly rewarding experience—but it is also a serious commitment and is not the right fit for every family.

We are very selective about our Guardian Homes because the safety, happiness, and well-being of our dogs will always come first.

1.  Live within 1 hour of Carlisle, Indiana.  If not, you must be willing to transport thedog to and from Daffodil Hill.
