These girls and boys are incredible and unique in their own way. They have all been amazing additions to our breeding program and have produced the highest of quality pups that have made many families homes complete. Their health and conformation to the breed standard is top quality with temperaments to match. If you need to know more about how our guardian program works, please find extra details below and what the requirements are to become a guardian family, but In short - they become a part of your family and they are your dog, but will come back to us for breeding, the birth of their pups, and up until their puppies go home.

What we are looking for in a guardian family and Requirements:
Most importantly, we are looking for our guardian homes to welcome in another member of their family! Loving, caring, and providing for the dog is of utmost importance, as it is with all of our dogs and puppies that we send to their forever homes. Our guardians are responsible for the dog’s regular health such as: annual exams, vaccines, food, exercise, heartguard, grooming, etc. Classic Heritage would pay for any and all genetic and/ or health testing required for breeding, and all breeding related expenses.
There are many things that Guardian families need to consider. Guardians of females will have to be aware of heat cycles every 6-9 months and keeping their girl protected from unwanted males. The Guardian family will need to look for the signs of a heat cycle and be willing to communicate and coordinate with us to ensure a successful breeding. When males are needed for breeding, once advance notice is given, dog must be made available for breeding purposes.
Requirements:
-
Must live within three hours of our Newcastle location
-
Able to provide exercise and maintain the dogs health and ideal weight
-
At least one person in the home works from home or is a stay at home person
-
Able to continue working on training, socializing, & manners

Able to provide veterinary care (non-breeding or pregnancy related vet care as these are provided by Classic Heritage) and emergency care if needed. Pet insurance is required.

If other dogs are in the home, the other dogs need to be spayed or neutered

Love to give, Commitment, and Trust
