Guardian Home Programme
Guardian Home Programme
Here at Northern Ireland Australian Labradoodles, we firmly believe that every dog deserves to be a part of a loving family, in a forever home.
We want our dogs to get the love, socialisation, and fun that are needed to be a happy, healthy, and well-balanced dog.
Therefore, we choose not to kennel or house all of our breeding dogs here, and instead, place them in loving guardian homes instead. This approach allows our dogs to thrive in a nurturing environment, fostering strong bonds with their guardians and promoting overall well-being.
We are committed to ensuring that each and every one of our Australian Labradoodles receives the best care and attention, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives as cherished members of their guardian families.
The Process.
We warmly invite you to be a part of our special guardian dog program, where you can join us in this exciting journey! Our carefully selected guardian dog will have the pleasure of visiting our home regularly, getting to know our family, and undergoing essential health testing in preparation for the incredible experience of breeding.
When the much-awaited time comes, she will spend a whole week with us before her adorable litter is due, and she'll stay until the puppies are around six weeks old and weaned. During this magical period, her loving guardian family is more than welcome to visit and share in the joyous moments.
We take great pride in responsible breeding, ensuring our guardian female has no more than four litters throughout her breeding career. And guess what? All the costs associated with breeding, birthing, and nurturing her precious puppies are on us! Being part of our guardian program presents a unique opportunity for local families to own a top-notch Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle with an exceptional bloodline. The best part is, once her breeding career is complete, the guardian dog becomes a cherished member of her guardian family forever.

FAQs
Where can a Guardian Home live?
As part of our guardian home programme, we kindly request that you reside within a 90-minute drive from Moira, Northern Ireland.
This allows for reasonable accessibility for regular visits and essential care for the dog.
Additionally, we require a commitment from you that you will not plan to move beyond a 90-minute distance from us during the dog's breeding career. This commitment ensures the utmost care and continuity for our beloved Australian Labradoodles.
What is the cost involved to be a guardian family?
In our unique guardian dog programme, instead of paying the full price for a pet puppy, you will have the exciting opportunity to receive the 'pick of litter,' handpicked by us, at a fraction of the cost. To secure your place, a full £300 deposit is required. All expenses related to breeding are our sole responsibility at Northern Ireland Australian Labradoodles.
While we cover annual vaccines, you will be responsible for any emergency veterinary care for the dog. Additionally, as the guardian family, you will take care of their food, flea/tick medications, grooming, and ensure regular exercise, socialisation, and training are provided.
This mutually beneficial arrangement allows you to welcome an exceptional Australian Labradoodle into your family without the full financial burden, while we ensure the highest standards of care for our beloved dogs. Let's embark on this wonderful journey together!
