Have you ever thought about being a guardian? 🤔
We are always looking for special families who will support our mission to bring joy to families one labradoodle at a time 😁
✨ What a Guardian does:
As a Guardian family, you provide the loving, permanent home, while Silverleaves retains breeding rights for an agreed period to help preserve and improve our lines.
Your girl lives with you as your much-loved pet, and visits us for health testing and planned matings. When she is due to have a litter, she will return to us around a week before her due date, then stay for approximately 6–7 weeks after the pups are born, depending on what is best for mum and her babies.
Outside these times, she is at home with you, enjoying normal family life, training, outings and cuddles.
✨ Benefits of our program:
Guardian dogs are always “pick of the litter”, carefully chosen for outstanding temperament, health and structure, and all breeding-related health testing is covered by us.
The guardian fee is lower than our pet price, and once her breeding career is complete, we arrange desexing at our expense and she remains with you for life.
✨ Guardian family requirements:
Live within approximately one hour of Pakenham, Gisborne or Pascoe Vale South.
Provide a safe, secure home with ongoing positive training, socialisation and good manners.
Ideally have no young children; homes with no kids or children 12+ are preferred so she can settle calmly and you can focus on her training.
Other pets may be ok depending on the temperament.
✨Next steps:
