In order to give our breeding dogs the very best life possible,  it is important to limit how many dogs we personally keep and house.   Also we understand in order to breed the highest quality dogs, which is our main goal, we need to keep, evaluate, and add quality bloodlines to our breeding program. So, how was all of this going to be possible? For us and many like us the answer is the Guardian Program.

​

Being a  Guardian Home is an excellent, low cost way to have a  top quality puppy or already house broken adult dog as a family pet.  Because we are family run, we do not want a kennel based program. Since we cannot house all of our breeding  dogs here at home we are offering the Guardian Home  program for our breeding dogs.  We want our breeding dogs  to be  raised in caring,  loving homes as family pets.  Unlike alternative methods where a breeding dog may have to be re-homed after they are done, the dogs in our Guardian Home Program grow up and continue to live with the same family throughout their entire life. 

​

When you are chosen  to be part of the Cane Creek Goldendoodles Guardian home program,  generally we will  place you with a pick of a litter puppy at  approximately 8 weeks old or sometimes an older dog.   Cane Creek Goldendoodles will pay for their annual exam and vaccines while in our program! You will pay for food and grooming, heartworm prevention, flea/tick prevention, etc.  Cane Creek Goldendoodles will also pay for all health testing for your puppy and any breeding related vet visits. Guardian families must be located within 1.5 hrs of Fletcher, NC.  Training is also very important for our breeding dogs.  Your dog will need to be potty trained, crate trained, walk on a leash without excessive pulling, and come when called.  They must be socialized with other dogs and children.  If you feel that you are able to fulfill these requirements, please fill out an application below!

​

A female breeding dog will come to our home in Fletcher, NC, during her heat cycle for about a week for breeding, and then back home to you.   She will  remain with you  throughout her pregnancy (2 months) and come back to us about 6 days before her due date for her to deliver the puppies in our care and stay with us until the puppies are weaned.   Once she has had 4 litters, we will have her spayed and she will  retire with you at no additional fee. We always want to have the dog's best interest in mind! 

​

If you are a  guardian home for a male stud, the situation is a bit different.  Once he reaches maturity to breed, there  will be times when breeding is required and you will need to bring him to us (in some cases we can bring the female to stud) during that process.  Stud must be available at all times, even last minute scenarios. Males are used for 6 yrs.  At that time we will have him neutered per our agreement and he will retire with you at no additional fee.

​

Please keep in mind, you will be responsible for getting the dog to and from Cane Creek Goldendoodles whenever requested by the breeder. Typically you will have a few days to plan and make arrangements to bring the dog to us but last minutes situations do happen in the breeder world. We will try to work with you if you are unable to bring the dog to us in case of a last minute breeding/studding etc.
