Gravel Ridge guardian program
join our family
Our Guardian Home Program is meticulously crafted to foster the breeding of top-tier Sheepadoodles, Bernedoodles, and English Bernedoodles in environments infused with care and compassion. In alignment with our unwavering dedication to our dogs’ well-being, we purposefully maintain a limited number of canines in our residence, eschewing the use of kennels. Our commitment to the advancement of our breeding program is underscored by the rigorous selection and evaluation of superior bloodlines.
Upon adoption, the guardian family assumes the mantle of responsibility for the dog’s welfare, treating it as a cherished member of their own family. Beyond the inherent joy of canine companionship, this program offers local families an opportunity to welcome a distinguished Sheepadoodle, Bernedoodle, or English Bernedoodle at a reduced cost. Prospective guardians undergo a thorough screening process and commit to our stipulated contract of care. A nominal deposit is collected, with a subsequent refund upon the successful completion of the contract.
The Guardian Home Program unfolds a tapestry of holistic benefits. The dog experiences a fulfilling life in a perpetually caring home, the guardian family gains a cherished pet of exceptional quality, and our breeding program is fortified through the meticulous selection of exemplary specimens. This initiative underscores our unwavering commitment to the enhancement of Sheepadoodles, Bernedoodles, and English Bernedoodles, elucidating the driving force behind the inception of our Guardian Home Program
