At Sound Goldens, we offer a unique opportunity for LOCAL families to welcome one of our breeding dogs into their home as a beloved family companion, while also supporting our breeding program. Our Guardian Home Program ensures each dog receives the personalized care, love, and attention they deserve in a home setting.
What is a guardian Home?
A Guardian Home cares for one of our breeding dogs as a pet.
The dog lives with the Guardian family but remains the property of Sound Goldens for a set period.
The dog will participate in our breeding program for a limited number of litters(female) or years(male).
After the breeding program ends, ownership transfers to the Guardian.
Puppies produced by the dog belong to Sound Goldens
