We are making Mina available to an approved guardian home. Mina is Mellow’s full sister and is a loving ball of goof.
Guardian Home Program 🐾
At Mountainside Goldens, we believe every dog deserves to be raised in a loving home where they receive individual attention, companionship, and the opportunity to be a cherished family member.
Our Guardian Home Program allows carefully selected families to welcome one of our breeding-quality Golden Retrievers into their home as their very own companion, while allowing us to continue our responsible breeding program.
🐶 What Is a Guardian Home?
A Guardian Home is a family that provides a permanent, loving home for one of our selected Golden Retrievers.
Your Guardian Dog lives with you as a member of your family, enjoying everyday life, adventures, and plenty of love!
Mountainside Goldens retains breeding rights for a predetermined period, as outlined in our Guardian Home Agreement. Once the dog’s breeding obligations are completed, full ownership is transferred to the Guardian Family.
❤️ How Does It Work?
* The Guardian Family provides a safe, stable, loving home with proper nutrition, exercise, training, and routine veterinary care.
* Mountainside Goldens coordinates and manages all breeding-related activities and associated veterinary expenses.
* Guardian Families must maintain open communication and make their dog available for scheduled breeding appointments.
* Female dogs return to Mountainside Goldens for breeding and whelping, where they receive specialized care while raising their puppies.
* Once the breeding commitment is fulfilled, the dog retires from our program and remains permanently with the Guardian Family.
* You must live within an hour of Ashburnham

🏡 What Are We Looking for in a Guardian Family?
We seek committed, responsible families who understand that participating in our Guardian Home Program is both a privilege and a responsibility.
Ideal Guardian Families provide a stable home, have the time to properly care for and train their dog, communicate reliably, and are willing to work closely with Mountainside Goldens throughout the breeding commitment.
🐕 A Forever Family, From the Very Beginning
Our Guardian Home Program isn’t about temporarily placing a breeding dog. It’s about finding a forever family from day one while maintaining the ability to continue the bloodlines we’ve worked so hard to develop.
At Mountainside Goldens, the well-being and happiness of our dogs always come first.
