Here at The Labrador Lodge, we are offering a Guardianship program. We feel that this program is greatly beneficial to our dogs. The guardianship program allows our dogs to be in their forever homes right away. If you are looking for a pup or a young adult dog and can’t afford to buy one, then the guardianship program maybe a good fit for you.
- The Guardian family is financially responsible for regular vet checks for vaccinations, monthly Heartgard, and quarterly Bravecto. The Labrador Lodge will cover the cost of the spay/neuter once the dog’s breeding career is done.
- Once your pup is 2 years old, she will go to our reproductive veterinarian in Lomira for some testing to see if she is a good candidate for our breeding program. This is typically a one hour visit.
- If she is a good fit for the program, then we will bring her back to our facility for a couple hours to be bred.
- 5 weeks after she was bred, she will return to our reproductive veterinarian for an appointment to confirm pregnancy. This visit takes approximately one hour. After the appointment she go back home to you until about 5 days prior to her due date.
- About 5 days before she is due, she will have another appointment with our reproductive veterinarian to do an x-ray that will give us an exact count on how many puppies she has. After this appointment she returns to our facilities for delivery and stays until the puppies are weaned (approximately 6 wks.) Once the puppies are weaned, she will then go back to you.
- That process is the breeding process that will be repeated 2-4 times.
We have some dogs/pups currently in Guardian Programs and it is a win-win situation. To be a part of the Guardianship Program click the button below to fill out an application. The next steps will be a home visit followed by you coming out to meet the available dogs and see which one is a good fit for you! We also have a few select males that are available for the Guardianship Program.
