Guardian Homes
At Morning Glory Doodles we work with the local community to provide the best care for our dogs and puppies.
That’s why we offer a guardian home program. Guardian dogs are raised just like you would raise and care for any dog you bring into your family, with just a few extra precautions, like keeping them away from unneutered male dogs when they are in heat. In most cases, once a female guardian home dog begins her second heat cycle, Morning Glory Doodles would breed her with one of our males. Pregnant females return to their guardian family after breeding, and stay with you during the 63 day pregnancy.
Pregnant females return to their guardian family after breeding, and stay with you during the 63 day pregnancy. About a week before their due date they will come to Morning Glory Doodles to prepare to give birth. We will be at their side to help them during the birth and until their puppies are weaned. We make sure they’re given lots of affection, good nutrition, grooming and any necessary post birth veterinary care while they’re in our care. Once a guardian home dog retires, he or she will become yours permanently.
We have Guardian Home Opportunities!
