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.
