Adopting a Breeder Puppy


Guardian Homes allow local families to get the “pick of the litter” puppy that will be their forever dog while still participating in our breeding program. Zink Doodles retains the right to breed the dogs for a predetermined amount of time or a predetermined number of litters.

We want our breeding dogs to live in a loving family environment and guardian homes are the best way to give our breeder dogs the love and attention they deserve.


About The Guardian Program

The first 12-14 months you are just responsible for loving and socializing your puppy and making it an intricate part of your family. You would pay for anything the dogs needs including grooming, vet visits, feeding, toys, training. We as the breeder pay for all health testing and breeding related items

Around 9-12 months of age, the females will have their first heat cycle.  You will be asked to contact us when this occurs.


  • The heat cycle usually lasts around 14-21 days and will typically occur every 6-8 months.


  • We require you to let us know when your female goes into heat.


  • When she is ready, she will come to us to breed (usually one week) and then be returned to you until a few days before her due date.


  • We want her to feel comfortable in our home in anticipation of her puppies.  She will have her puppies with us and will stay here until her puppies are weaned from her (typically at 6-7 weeks of age).


  • Once the puppies are weaned your female will then be returned to you. The amount of litters your female will have will depend on the health and wellbeing of the female and her puppies.Their health is of utmost importance to us.


  • Once the breeding cycle is over she will be spayed and you will have full ownership.

For males, we will contact you prior to needing them back for mating.

Males will typically stay with us 1-2 weeks for this.
