Our Guardian Home Program

---

We believe that all dogs should be able to live in loving, stable homes where they are a valued member of the family. We believe this is especially true for breeding dogs, as they are our resource for the next generation of beloved pets and service dogs. This is where our Guardian Home Program comes in.

Guardian Families get a “pick of the litter” puppy, adolescent, or adult to become a permanent member of their family, while all breeding rights are retained by Queen B Bullz.

Once your dog’s breeding career has been completed, she will be spayed at our expense, and full ownership will be given to the Guardian Family and the dog will remain your forever pet. Science (and common sense) has shown that happy, secure dogs produce happy, secure puppies. Therefore, it is imperative to us that Guardian Families are very engaged with their dogs and provide an optimal environment.

• Residence within 120 minutes (2hours) drive to Paducah, Kentucky (30-45 preferred)
• Home ownership strongly preferred
• Safe and adequate fencing and home environment, although some     townhouse/condo/apartment situations may work
• Experience owning a dog, and preferably, experience raising a puppy
• A lifestyle that permits the dog to have regular, quality companionship and flexibility to allow for breeding events
• Agreement to make the dog an indoor member of the family, and never to allow the dog to live outdoors or in a kennel or spend more than minimal time in an unsupervised outdoor environment or be kenneled regularly.
• Willingness to provide proper prenatal care and environment for pregnant dogs
• Provision of proper exercise, socialization, and training for the dog
• Properly training the dog is a MUST as the dog may perform in shows/competitions and will be housed with us during the time of whelping litters. Completing a basic obedience training through a training program is required.
• Willingness to have a dog that will be needed for breeding.
• For a female dog, this involves having the dog stay with us for breeding (usually a few days) and then whelping and puppy raising (minimum of 6-8 weeks). Females usually have 2-3 litters, but no more than 4.
• Willingness to allow us to visit your home and the dog and to allow the dog to stay with us a few times a year to ensure she or he remains comfortable with us. A side benefit of this is that we will do our best to schedule these visits around your travel/vacation schedule so that we can take care of the dog while you are away instead of a pet sitter.
• Willingness to be very communicative with us about the dog, your schedule, and other related items.

Guardians are responsible for all “regular” dog care including providing quality food, treats, toys, etc. They are also responsible for normal vet care that is not breeding, or health testing related. The dog must be kept up to date on all shots, flea and tick meds, and heartworm meds at guardian's expense.

• You are getting a top-quality dog at either a significantly reduced amount or for no cost.
• Only select homes qualify (they meet ALL of our requirements) to have the free option.
• The dog will be health tested at the breeder’s expense.
• Families are allowed to visit their female and her puppies.
• Monetary compensation for each litter ($500.00 USD per litter) or 1 pet home puppy (from any 1 litter)
• The breeder pays for spay
• Once retired and spayed/neutered, ownership is transferred to you.
• Knowing your canine companion is blessing families all over the country.
• We consider all of our puppy/dog owners' family, but when you become a guardian, you are truly part of our team.

• Provide guardian family with a healthy & quality puppy/dog
• Pay for any and all health testing.
• Pay for all breeding related expenses (i.e., progesterone testing, c-section as needed, all whelping costs, etc.)
• We can help with training fees if needed
• Teaching the guardian family how to detect a heat cycle and how to care for a pregnant dog if they don’t already know.
• Breeder will care for any and all females while they whelp and raise their litter(s)
• Pay for the spay upon retirement
• Pay a monetary sum of $500.00 USD per litter (as a compensation for the dog's time away from her Guardian Home)
• Provide lifetime support for the dog
• Always be willing to take the dog back if the guardian family can no longer care for them.

Guardians are responsible for all transportation to and from us. If you have a female, then you (Guardian home) will also be responsible for taking her to the vet for an ultrasound if you are not able to bring her for us to take her.

Becoming a guardian home for one of our dogs is a huge commitment and a decision that should not be made lightly. Please keep in mind that we are retain full legal ownership of the dog until they are retired from our program and guardians have a legal obligation to follow the contract. Our dogs are very high quality and have been hand selected to benefit and improve our program further.

Becoming a guardian home is not for everyone! Please consider this commitment carefully.

If the dog is deemed unsuitable for breeding by either us or one of our veterinarians, then the dog will be retired from our program. The dog will be spayed and will reside with your family for the remainder of her life, unless you decide otherwise.
