What is a Guardian Home & How does it work?


The guardian program is designed to benefit everyone involved, the puppy, the guardian home, and us. We are so thankful for our guardian homes and are always looking for amazing families that are interested, so that we can continue the successful way our breeding program works without ever needing to kennel raise a dog.


Our Guardian Families receive a puppy from us, and are compensated for being a part of our program. Our parent dogs retire with their forever family after their time in our program is complete.


We choose our future breeding dogs very carefully, and only those with qualities that we want to see continue are kept as our “pick of the litter” for breeding. Our guardian homes receive the best we have to offer when we place a potential future breeding dog with them. Not only are they receiving what we consider to be worthy of continuing a line, but we also completely health test the dogs, at our expense, when they are at the appropriate age. By the time one of our puppies is raised and tested to the strict standards we hold, we have invested a great deal into ensuring they are healthy and genetically sound.


Benefits of the Guardian-Home Program

We are able to provide loving homes for all our beloved dogs where they can each receive the love of a family.


Guardian Homes get the opportunity to have a Poodle Puppy that is pick of the litter. (Estimated value of $7,000.00) Your cost is $1000.00.


You will have a pet that will have health testing completed at no cost to you.

Prairie Poodles will pay all vet costs for health testing associated with the breeding of the dog.


Prairie Poodles will pay for Annual shots for the dog. Flea/tick, deworming, dental, and all emergency vetting are not included.


Prairie Poodles will pay $100.00 per litter sired (with our permission only) by said dog.

This agreement is to provide assurance that the Guardian Home Dog will thrive in her/his loving home, which is intended to be his/her forever home.
