Become a Guardian

Guardian Homes

What is it?

Here at Dessie's Doodles we are dedicated to ensuring that all of our dogs in our program get love and attention, and live in a home. We do not use kennels! In order to make this possible we keep the number of dogs in our program small and utilize guardian homes. A guardian home offers a family for a puppy chosen to improve our breeding program.
