JOIN THE A+E FARMS GUARDIAN FAMILY 

All dogs deserve a loving home, especially our breeding moms and dads.

The kind of home where they get the individual attention and care that they deserve. By using guardian homes, we are able to grow our breeding program and keep puppies that have the best bloodlines, temperaments, and traits.

How Does Being A Guardian Family Work?

We place our top pick puppy (free of charge!) with a carefully chosen local family who raises the dog as their own, while we maintain breeding rights and welcome a few litters from her in our program.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A GUARDIAN HOME?

For Families who would like to be considered for one of our female puppies:

  • The dog must live inside your home as a beloved member of your family.

  • You should have prior experience with dogs and a solid understanding of how to care for one.

  • A fully fenced yard is required, along with supervision during heat cycles and use of a leash when outside.

  • No unneutered male dogs can be in the home.

  • You must be committed to providing excellent care, including feeding a high-quality food, regular exercise, and routine grooming.

  • Be able to provide consistent training and socialization.

  • You must live within 50 miles of Salt Lake County, Utah, and be willing to bring the dog to our vet in Draper, Utah for Health Testing and breeding appointments.

  • When it’s time for her to give birth, you’ll need to be comfortable leaving her with us for approximately 6 - 7 weeks.

  • Routine veterinary care, including annual checkups and vaccinations, will be your responsibility.

  • Ongoing communication is important. We ask that you stay in touch and keep us updated, especially when she comes into heat.

WHO PAYS FOR THE SPAY/NEUTER ONCE A DOG IS RETIRED FROM BREEDING?

We will pay for the surgery to neuter/spay the dog after a female's last litter or once the stud is no longer going to be used as a sire for our program.

IS THERE ANY KIND OF FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR BEING A GUARDIAN HOME?

YES! Because we know how much work goes into raising a dog and adding in heat cycles, extra vet appointments, and the other inconveniences of having an unaltered dog we do pay our guardian families for each litter (females), and each time a dog sires a litter (males).

​

As a guardian family, you are also welcome to help in the puppy raising process if you would like to! If not, don't worry we will take care of 100% of the puppy raising.
