ArmnalegRanch's Guardian Home Application

---

A Guardian Home is a very special person (or family)  who agrees to raise and care for a breeder’s dog as a beloved family member. We want to spoil all our precious furkids. This is the best way possible to have the best of both worlds'.

Guardian families must live within 2 1/2 hours or less of Jacksonville, TX. They will need to have a securely fenced in yard at their home. Guardian families will need to own a reliable mode of transportation and be willing to transport the dog when necessary for breeding purposes. There can not be any other intact dogs in the same household and no  dogs with a history of aggression towards humans or other dogs. We will need our guardian families to agree to not take their guardian dog to any dog parks for safety reasons. 

The Guardian Family will have a contract with us to keep the dog in good health and condition and to allow the dog to be bred for a certain number of litters (4) before they are retired and legal ownership is given to the Guardian Family.

The terms regarding medical expenses, breeding costs will be explained if a Guardian home is accepted. A deposit will be placed for the Guardian Puppy to be refunded when the dog has delivered her last litter. This helps ensure both parties are invested in the dog’s wellbeing and the breeding process.

Becoming a Guardian Family is a commitment, but  you will be helping other families to get their own furry family member that your own special Guardian Dog helped to create and in the end YOUR Guardian Dog becomes yours for life.

As a Guardian Home you will receive a 'pick of the litter' puppy which will be a great addition to your family & a huge help to our breeding program.

1. Must live in the specified area.

2. Must have a home with plenty of running room, fence is required (for safety).

3. Agree that the Guardian Dog will live indoors.  

4. Agree to feed ONLY the same brand of food we do.

5. Agree to train the Guardian Dog in basic commands. (We do have a trainer we can refer you to)

6. Agree to maintain the Guardian Dog's gorgeous coat by keeping it well groomed.

7.    a. Send us an email with "Guardian Dog Interest" in the subject line to armnalegranch@gmail.com

        b. Include your full name, email address AND a good phone number in the information you send us.

        c.  If there is a specific breed of Corgi such as coat color, gender, Cardigan, Pembroke, American, etc, please include this in your email.

I will send you a questionnaire to fill out via email.  Once the questionnaire is returned, & you fit the Guardian Home program, the next step will be a phone interview. If all goes well with the phone interview, then we will schedule a time to meet at your home to discuss contract terms.

The final step will be signing the Guardian Contract, & waiting patiently for the right puppy!
