I couldn't do this without the help of my amazing guardian families!  Most are families that already have a dog (or two...or three!) from Mule Mountain Doodles.  They are the heart of my program.

​

That being said being a guardian isn't for everyone as your dog would spend time away from the family. I like to say that first and foremost!  Though its has been amazing for the guardians we have now. After they are retired we pay for the spay/neuter and transfer ownership.  You would also be compensated each litter/stud service. We will watch your dog whenever you go out of town or vacation (as long as we are available!) and will also arrange play dates, etc. so he/she is familiar and feels safe with us and in our home. 

 Once they are 12 months they will have all genetic and health testing done at our cost. For females the dog will come back to us for one week for breeding and then for 6-8 weeks for whelping and raising the litter. We usually breed two or three times then retire. For a male we would use him to breed our females and possible outside stud services. We pay all repro vet bills, etc.  You would very much be a part of our program and have a voice as without guardians we couldn't do what we do. We could keep our girls and re-home after they retire or do this- many breeders do this with great success and  I don't believe either way is the "right" way- this is just what works for us. I like that fact the dog will be with its forever family from a puppy on.  This way they don't become attached to us and after 3 or 4 years we have to rehome them to continue our program.  I wish we could just keep everyone forever!! But, I honestly don't think it would be fair to do that either as I  wouldn't have enough time to devote to each and give each the attention they deserved if I had several dogs in the house!

If you think you may be interested please fill out the form below. We can talk and see if you would be a good fit for our program. You can also reach out to our guardians with questions.

Precedence will go to our puppy families.
