What about being a guardian home is more appealing to you than having a regular puppy?
*
Are you aware of the grooming requirements when owning a poodle every 4-6 weeks (approx $100-$150/groom)?
*
If you have a Guardian Home female, are you aware that you will be required to relinquish her to us for a period of approx 1 week when she is in heat and 8+ weeks for every litter she has? This could be up to twice a year. Will you and/or your family be emotionally prepared to part with the dog for this length of time? We do our best to give visitation to the guardian family, but do not promise it.
*
If you have a Guardian Home male, do you realize that you will be require to relinquish him to us for a period of approx 3-7 days hewn the female he is needing to breed is in heat?
*
Are you prepared to become a part of the Bartley's Home Grown team by helping us with health, coat, and color testing of our dogs? We will occasionally need tests done. Some of them will need to be done at specific vet clinics/locations, others can be done at your local hospital. Others will be sent to you in the mail and you then will be asked to mail them off to the test centre. All of these things will be done at the expense of us, the breeder.
*
Are you willing to send us frequent photos, videos, and text updates on the dog and its health, temperament, and coat? We love getting updates on our dogs!
*
If you have a breeding female, are you prepared to handle her heat cycles? We are here to help when the time comes, but do you have any knowledge of the process? It can be messy sometimes, and we just want you to be aware before committing!
*
If you have a breeding male, are you aware that he may have issues with humping and/or marking? This does not always happen, but we want potential guardians to to be aware of the possibility.
*
Are you willing to relinquish any and all decisions on the breeding life of the dog to us? Our guardians are important to us and we appreciate their interest in breeding. However, we want our guardians to be able to trust us to always make the right decision for the dog and it's health and well-being.
*
Please be aware that many people are opposed to breeding dogs in general. Are you prepared to defend your dog and/or our program to other who may disagree with breeding?
*
What do you like or dislike about our breeding program?
*
If you are accepted to be a guardian for one of our dogs, would you be ok with a home inspection and an interview in your home?
