What's a guardian program?
There is no upfront cost to a person for one of our Yorkies or Schnauzers in our Guardian Program. We provide a quality female who will live with the loving family or individual but will remain in our breeding program for 1 to 4 litters. The “guardian” will love and care for the dog as a member of their family. We pay for ALL breeding related medical expenses. The dog comes here for breeding sessions and whelping her puppies and then returns to her guardian home. (Tiny Tushy Lodge will retain ownership of the puppies.) After our contract is fulfilled, the family will have 100% ownership of the dog!
Please call if you would like more clarification.
(we are a work in progress & updates can be made to this program.)
