GUARDIAN HOMES
What is a Guardian and how do I become one?
How does a responsible, caring breeder work to provide loving families with great puppies and at the same time, give the breeding, parent dogs a great life? Our answer is to allow some of our breeding female dogs to leave us and become part of another family’s life and home, then return to us to be bred and again when it’s time to give birth to the puppies.
The female parent dog gets to be a companion/pet and have the happiness of being part of a family and home – and great puppies get raised. This breeding/parent dog lives in their forever home, grows up, is trained, is well socialized, loved and cared for and is part of the family. What could be better? The Guardian Family has the opportunity to have a truly wonderful dog at no cost, in exchange for working with us for a limited number of litters. It’s a total “win” for everyone, the mama dog, the Guardian Family, and West Valley Frenchies!
Note: Guardian pups are still owned by West Valley Frenchies until we sign over the paperwork and after we have fixed the breeding female. There is a contract that must be signed by the guardian family, personal references must be provided and you MUST live within 30 minutes of us. If you would like more information about being a guardian please send us an email or call us for more details.
We are in need of guardian homes for fall/winter of 2023 and spring of 2024. If interested please complete our guardian application.
Guardian homes will be interviewed and must be opened to letting us view their home in person. We are picky when it comes to placing our babies.
Note: Current guardian homes have priority over a new applicant. We will allow a guardian family to have up to 2 of our females as long as all rules have been followed within the contract and its been 6 months since getting their first female.
