At Rocky Mountain Labradoodles all of our dogs are family members, living with us in our home.  Being committed to producing the highest quality dogs within our ability we believe all dogs need the attention and companionship of living in a loving home.  This includes raising our breeding dogs and their puppies in a home, not in a kennel situation.  In order to maintain this standard and at the same time expand our breeding program, future breeding dogs will be placed in qualified guardian homes.

What does it mean to be a Guardian Home?

A guardian home is a family that receives a top quality breeding puppy to become a member of their family.  There is no charge for the puppy.  In exchange for a "Pick of the litter puppy,"  the family agrees to follow the conditions set out by Rocky Mountain Labradoodles while it is in our breeding program.  When the dog is retired from breeding (about 5 years of age), we pay for spay or neutering.  The dog remains with it's family to continue his or her life with them.
