What type of energy level are you looking for in your new puppy? *

Low to Medium Energy Level
Medium to High Energy Level

Do you currently have any pets? If so, tell us about them. *

Are you willing and able to provide a new puppy/dog with optimal health care (regular vet visits), nutrition, and exercise? *

If you work outside of the home, can you arrange to have your puppy let outside at noon and every 3-4 hours during the first few months? *

Are you prepared to keep your dog’s hair brushed and free from mats, as well have them groomed every 8-10 weeks? *

Being a guardian home family is a unique situation in that your dog will need to stay intact and be used for breeding. Although you will be the dog’s forever home, complete ownership will not be transferred to you until the dog is retired. Do you feel like this will be a good fit for you? *

Please tell us any information you would like about you/family and what a typical day would like for you and your puppy/dog. Please include information about your family members, your schedule, and activities. Our hope is to get a feel for which puppy might be a good fit for your family. *

I understand and agree if I am chosen to be a Guardian for Doo Dah Doodle Pups I commit to the following... *

Have previous dog experience. - Provide veterinary care including vaccinations and flea, tick and heartworm prevention. Send a copy of all veterinary care and meds to the breeder to keep on file. Breeder will pay for all breeding-related expenses. - If the Dog becomes sick or injured, please notify us right away so we are involved in decisions regarding the treatment of the dog. Please understand that the breeder may need to make decisions about your Dog and we ask you to respect those decisions. Your input will always be considered and hopefully we can mutually agree on necessary treatment. All decisions WILL ALWAYS BE made for the betterment of the Dog. - To help with proper development and optimal health please provide a high quality, food with protein-first ingredient food. We recommend Purina Pro Plan or Science Diet. - Keep the Dog’s coat maintained and free of matting with regular grooming and brushing. You can do this yourself or use a professional groomer. - We ask the family to practice safe handling of the Dog. The Dog must be an indoor pet and we ask you not leave the Dog outside if you are not home. - Have a fenced yard to provide a safe environment for the Dog. This also protects the dog from any unplanned and unwanted pregnancies which is crucial! If your living situation does not allow for fencing, breeder is open to discussing a plan for the dog’s safety and exercise requirements. - Provide regular exercise and always use a leash in public or any unsecured area. - Provide basic obedience training so the Dog has manners. (The Dog should know basic commands such as sit, stay, lay-down and leave it.) - Be willing to socialize your puppy (once puppy is fully vaccinated, provide a variety of experiences so the puppy can learn how to react and behave in a variety of situations.) Allow them to interact with people outside your family and other spayed or neutered dogs. - If you are a guardian home for a male dog, be willing to drop him off for approximately 3-5 days for breeding unless other arrangements have been made for us to pick him up. All semen shall be sole property of the breeder. - If you are a guardian home for a female dog, the breeder will require access to the Dog at first sign of going into heat (blood) until a successful hook (usually 5-7 days). You can bring her to the breeder every other day – 3 times on average or leave her for the duration of the stay as approved by the breeder. The Dog can return to the guardian home for duration of pregnancy until 7-14 days prior to dog’s due date and up until the puppies are weaned at approximately 6-8 weeks after birth. This total process lasts approximately 9- 12 weeks. - The Dog shall be used as breeding stock exclusively by the breeder. All puppies born to the Dog shall be sole property of the breeder.* - Be able to communicate with us, the breeder, about anything breeding related. - Notify the breeder of any change of address, phone, or email. - Notify breeder if you will be out of town or on vacation, so we can determine if the Dog might be needed for breeding during your absence. - Provide pictures and updates monthly.

I also understand as a Guardian for Doo Dah Doodle Pups *

The guardian home pays for any normal care items and veterinary expenses including food, dishes, leashes, beds, normal vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm medications, grooming needs, etc. The dogs we have purchased have been vet checked and genetically tested for optimal health. If the dog needs meds due to worms, illness, infection, or anything unrelated to breeding, it is the guardian’s responsibility to pay for those expenses. pg. 3 Guardian family for male will receive a bonus for each litter ($50 dollars per puppy up to $250). Guardian homes for females will receive a bonus for each litter ($75 dollars per puppy up to $500). *The owner may forgo the bonuses and opt to receive a puppy (offspring of their dog) once the dog has completed 5 years (or less as determined by breeder) of service beginning with their first litter.

I understand and agree when the dog is retired from Doo Dah Doodle Pups Breeding Program *

the breeder will pay to spay or neuter the dog and ownership will become legally ours.

I have gone over the Indemnity information below and agree to it upon being approved to be a Guardian in the program

The guardian Family agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, cost, damage, and expenses by reason of any damage property or injury, or death to individuals or other animals allegedly caused by the Dog while in the possession of the Guardian Family.

I understand and agree to the Termination of Agreement information listed below. *

1. Immediately, upon the transfer of ownership of the Dog to the Guardian Family. 2. Immediately, upon Owner’s determination that the Guardian Family is non- compliant with the terms of this agreement and such non-compliance poses a significant risk to the health, welfare, and safety of the Dog, at which time possession of the Dog returns to the Owner. 3. Immediately, upon the death of the Dog from natural or accidental causes. 4. Immediately, upon the Guardian Family’s permanent return of the Dog to the Owner for any reason.

By signing this document the Guardian Family agrees to terms of this agreement. *
