Gaurdian Homes provide our Program here at Storybook to continue. No compromising the care, attention, and love ALL of our future, active, and past Moms & Dads deserve.  Storybook is not a kennel, nor do we want to use dogs to breed and at retirement-- rehome. 

​

Myself and other breeders with similar views have adopted the Gaurdian Program to allow us to keep our forever family pets, and our breeding dogs spoiled and a top priority.

​

​

​

​

1) A guardian is selected and placed with a quality (showing breeding potential) puppy. This puppy for all intensive purposes will live a majority of their life as your life long family member/pet. However, we will retain breeding rights and transfer complete ownership at the time of retirement from our program.

​

       This puppy can be as young as 8 weeks or up to 6 months dependent on multiple factors           (held back to decide, imports, finding the right placement, ect)

​

  2) A deposit is required, and reimbursed in full at the time of his/her retirement from our            program, and spayed or neutered (at no cost to you!). This will be a Quality puppy costing.      Storybook up to $8,000 at essentially no purchase cost to the guardian family.

​

3) We cover puppy training cost, grooming and nutrition perks, and appreciation bonuses up until retirement.

​

4) You are responsible for most pet costs, and we cover all cost associated with breeding and additional testing.

​

5) Females will stay with us 7 days prior to due date and return to you when puppies head home. This means 8-9 week stays away from home at a maximum 4 times during their ''active career" ---If you have any reservations on this arrangement please do not apply. Retire at age 3-4 years

​

6) Males may stay with us for up to 5 days, but typically it could be a couple hours to 3 days. Retire at 4-5 years.

​

​

If you can't commit to our program or needs.

​

Have a lifestyle that would make it difficult to arrange additional health testing, mating, & whelping

​

CANNOT IMAGINE being without your dog for extended stays.

​

ARE ONLY CONSIDERING DUE TO "PERKS", even with the perks we offer as appreciation to you for the value of your services, a Gaurdian dog has a lot more expectations put on him/her. The financial costs of any dog as a Pet needs to be considered.

 

There is no guarantee we will end up using your placement in our program. In which case he/she will be spayed/neutered, deposit returned, and transfer of full ownership to you.
