Guardian Home Application

Each of our dogs is deeply loved and considered part of our family. Our guardian program allows select breeding dogs to grow up in loving forever homes while still remaining an important part of the future of Walk with Me Doodles.
 

Becoming a guardian means welcoming one of these special dogs into your family and partnering with us throughout their breeding career. Your dog lives with you as a beloved family companion and returns to us only as needed for health testing, breeding, and whelping. Once their breeding career is complete, full ownership is transferred to your family.
 

Guardian dogs are placed at no purchase cost, but this is a meaningful, long-term commitment. Please take the time to consider the responsibilities of the program before applying. If selected, we will be here to support you and your dog throughout the entire journey.
