Guardian Program Overview

12 Weeks to 14 Months

A HML Guardian puppy will live with you as your family pet. The Guardian/Forever Family will be responsible for giving and receiving abundant unconditional love, training and continual socialization of their Guardian puppy.

Girls have their first season/heat cycle between 9-14 months of age. Upon the beginning of a season, A season will typically last about 3 weeks and their next season will be in approximately 6-8 months.

Our Breeding Program assessment/health testing will be completed around 12 months of age. Heritage Manor is responsible for all costs incurred in this assessment. A final decision will then be determined as to Guardian dog becoming part of our Breeding Program. Heritage Manor strives to select only the best puppies to continue and develop our Breeding Program. Should HML decide not to enter Guardian dog into Breeding Program, HML will transfer ownership to Guardian/Forever Family.

14 Months of Age & Part of Our Breeding Program

Guardian is responsible to transport Guardian dog to Heritage Manor determined location when needed for breeding.. Guardian dog remains with Guardian Family during gestation, with instructions as to her care and an occasional vet appointment with Breeder.

Pregnant Guardian female will join HML 3-4 days prior to their due date. This enables Guardian Dog to settle in and begin nesting in preparation for the birth of her puppies. Once puppies are weaned, typically at 5 1/2 weeks, the Guardian dog will have a Spa Day and returned to her Guardian family.
