Being a Guardian Home is an excellent, low cost way to have a top quality Australian Labradoodle as a family pet. If you love Australian Labradoodles and wish to acquire one without purchasing one – the Sacto Labradoodles Guardian Program may be right for you. All of our breeding dogs are raised in loving homes as family pets. As such, from time to time we have kept back exceptional dogs that we think will be great future mommas and dads. These pups are made available to families in the Guardian Program. All Guardian Homes require an application and screening to make sure our pups will live in the very best home! Some requirements are below.

First, for females – you must live within 1 hour of the Elk Grove, CA, general area. For males – we require you live within 30 minutes of Elk Grove, CA.

Next, we require an adult be home at least part-time during the day to care for the dog. We don’t want these pets to live in a kennel or outside. We want them to be part of your family! We also love children & a busy household so that the dog can be well socialized. There may be some limitations as to other allowed pets in the home. 

As a Guardian  you agree to raise, train & care for the dog throughout their lives and make them part of your family.

If you are chosen to be part of the Sacto Labradoodles Guardian Program, we will place you with a pick of the litter puppy at approximately 8-10 weeks old. You will pay for all normal cost of the care and medical expenses of raising a family pet. Sacto Labradoodles will pay for all reproductive testing and associated costs of the pregnancy. The health testing for your puppy is completed between ages 4-11 months.

After your dog passes all health testing (as we expect) it will become a breeding dog for Sacto Labradoodles. The female breeder will deliver 4 litters for Sacto Labradoodles. She will come to our home during her heat cycle for breeding, and then back home to you. She will remain with you throughout her pregnancy and come back to us for her delivery. Our Guardian Families also play a part in helping us to raise the pups. Once she has had 4 litters you will have her spayed and she will retire with you.

The male will be used up to 5 years for various breedings and then you will have him neutered and retire with you.

If you would like to be considered for Sacto Labradoodles Guardian  Program please Read the Sample Guardian Agreement below and then fill out the Guardian Application. As part of the application process, we may require a home visit to make sure your new puppy is completely safe! If you have additional questions, please call 916-337-7701 or email  at sactolabradoodles@gmail.com.

Thank you for your interest in the Guardian  Program.
