Guardian Home Family Program

Our Guardian Family Program allows our breeding dogs to be raised in a loving home environment with families who can provide daily attention, socialization, and companionship. It is very important to us that our dogs grow up as part of a family and experience a normal home life.

Guardian dogs participate in our breeding program for only a small portion of their lives. Once the guardian contract is completed, Crimson Desert Doodles will contribute $150 toward the spay/neuter procedure and full ownership of the dog will be transferred to the guardian family.

As a guardian family, you will receive one of the very best dogs that Crimson Desert Doodles has to offer.

Our Guardian Family Placement Process

We follow a thoughtful process when placing a puppy in a guardian home to ensure the best possible match for both the puppy and the family.

1. Submit Your Interest / Application
   After reviewing the information on this page, interested families can submit an application form so we can learn more about your home environment and availability.
2. In-Home Meet & Visit
   We will schedule a visit and bring the puppy to your home. We will stay for approximately 30 minutes to observe how the puppy interacts with your family and environment.
   We kindly ask that all household members be present during this visit.
3. Final Decision
   After the visit, we carefully evaluate the match and will contact you within about 24 hours with our decision.
   We follow this process because it is very important to us that every puppy is placed in a loving, safe, and committed home.
