Program Overview

Our guardian families are an integral part of our program! They provide permanent loving homes for our breeding dogs. Once the dog is retired from breeding quality puppies in forever homes with approved families in Ontario.

 

How does the guardianship program work?

Breeding prospects are carefully chosen for the qualities they exhibit (superior temperament, coat, health testing, etc). Our most promising puppies are placed with approved families who wish to participate in our guardianship program. As the pups grow up, they return to Cavapoos of Ontario periodically for health testing, breeding, and whelping. The guardian home program provides an excellent life for the dog. We encourage guardian families to bring their puppies to visit so that they are familiar with our home and feel comfortable coming to stay with us. 

- Females will return to our home to whelp 8 litters. They will stay with us for 8-10 weeks, until puppies are weaned. After the 8 litters the ownership is transferred to the guardian family.

 

Who Benefits?...Everyone!!

- You benefit by getting a top quality Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy free, and by getting to be part of the excitement of our breeding program. 

- We benefit by remaining kennel free and staying true to our motto: A house is not a home, without a Cavapoo!
