We currently have the above dogs available to find their forever guardian homes!
All four girls are incredible and unique in their own way. Honey, Maisie, Lassen, and Floren have been amazing additions to our breeding program and have produced the highest of quality pups that have made many families homes complete. The girls are two years old, almost three, and they are each ready to find their forever families. We do anticipate having additional litters from the girls which is why we are opening them up in our guardian program. 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. There is no cost to you but there are a couple of things to consider. Below you will be able to find what is required of our guardians, a contract, etc. The only change from the below information is that we are allowing our guardian families to live up to three hours from us. We know it is a lot of information, but if you are interested please read through all of the information below and contact us to set up a visit!
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. In some cases a stipend will be paid to families after litters are born and placed when more then eight puppies are produced from a litter.
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 parent
-
Able to continue working on training and socializing
-
Able to provide veterinary care (non-breeding or pregnancy related vet care as these are provided by breeder) and emergency care if needed
-
If other dogs are in the home, the other dogs need to be spayed or neutered
-
Communicate with Classic Heritage about any changes, questions, concerns, or updates (ex: When your dog has come into heat, care questions, times you may be traveling with your dog and not available, or just some fun pictures and updates!)
-
Love to give, Commitment, and Trust
-
Be willing to work with us and be a fantastic dog owner for the life of your dog.
