At Mi-De-Doodles we believe that every dog deserves to be raised in a loving home. Many breeder retire their adults after a few years of breeding and then look for a new home to place them in. We feel it is better for the dog to get their forever family while they are still young and it easier for them to bond.
All of our breeding dogs live in our home as pets or in the homes of our wonderful local guardian families. All of our doodles need and thrive in a rich social environment that can only be provided by a family. The partnership we have with our guardian families allows us to continue to grow our program without the use of kennels. This helps to insure that all of our dogs are all well adjusted and fit to be great parents.
In exchange for participating in our program you will receive a FREE dog. The puppy will be considered “the pick of the litter” and will be valued at over $4000 after all the health testing is completed. As long as our dog is kept in optimum health, we also pay you for the healthy puppies that are produced. Guardians of female dogs will be paid $75 for each puppy that is sold from resulting litters. For Guardians of male dogs, we pay $200 for each successful breeding which is considered 2 or more puppies. We do this as a way to help to cover expenses for training, grooming and keeping our dogs healthy. In the event that we feel the dog doesn’t meet our high standards (due to no fault of guardian home) dog will be spayed/or neutered and guardians will become the new owner. We will only allow our females to have between 3-4 litters so that we can retire them young. We will never exceed 4 litters even if our mother remains in perfect health. Males may be used several times a year depending on demand for a specific male.
We will pay for all health testing to prepare dog for breeding. Most testing won’t be done until the puppy is over a year but we usually do hip evaluation between four months and 1 year. This just requires a trip to a local vet and the dog will be returned to you later that same day. As a guardian you will be invited over on go home day to experience the joy the families have when they get a puppy from a momma you have raised!
To be considered as a guardian home for one of our “pick of the litter” puppies, we require that you live within a 60 minute drive of Glenford Ohio. It is required that you have physical fencing (not invisible fencing-although we may make exceptions based on circumstances) to provide a safe and secure environment for the Guardian puppy, own your own home and have a work schedule that allows your puppy to not be left alone for extended periods of time. All of our puppies must be indoor dogs and never left unattended outside. Guardian families must have reliable transportation and be willing to bring the dog to us when needed througout the year.
As part of our guardian family you will be getting one of our BEST puppies.
