Guardian Home Opportunities

In our guardian home program, we place our breeding prospects with families. Breeding rights and ownership are retained by Crow River Pups until he/she is retired from our program. Once they are retired we pay to have him/her neutered/spayed, full ownership is transfer to the guardian family and they get to keep the dog forever. 

Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the opportunity to have one of our puppies or young adults as a family pet while he or she remains in our program. Puppy fee is waived and families are paid for each litter. Females will have a maximum of 4 litters. Males will be retired at 6 years old.

Through our guardian program, we are able to ensure that our dogs get to live the best lives in a loving and caring home where they receive as much one on one attention as possible.
