Labradoodle Guardian Home Program

Our labradoodle guardian home program was originated to give all of our wonderful breeding doodles a home and the loving family they deserve. We love our dogs dearly and want them to be placed with a family that loves them as much as we do! We are not a kennel and do not kennel our breeding dogs. We also can’t have all of them in our home so we carefully select nearby families that can provide guardian homes for our dogs. What this means is that if you take part in the guardian program, Providence Hill Australian Labradoodles LLC would place a dog in your home with you as their forever family. The labradoodle is then raised, trained and cared for by you, just like a normal pet would be. Providence Hill Australian Labradoodles LLC would be responsible for any and all reproduction and breeding related costs but as the forever family, you would be responsible for the general routine veterinary care and wellness, annual vaccines, grooming expenses, training expenses and of course lots of love and family socialization!
The breeding rights of this dog are owned by Providence Hill Australian Labradoodles LLC. Providence Hill Australian Labradoodles LLC will need to have access to the labradoodle at certain times during the year for about 6 years. We would need the dog a couple of times a year for testing and when they are bred. The dog then would quickly come back to your home. If they are ready to whelp a litter they would come here to Providence Hill Australian Labradoodles LLC a week before their due date and stay until the pups are weaned. Then they head back to their life and the family they love at your house!
At the end of their breeding career (determined by breeder and vet together and usually about 8 litters) they are spayed or neutered at our expense and the adoption process is complete! They will then remain with you and their forever family! We can discuss more in detail once you have been selected to be a guardian family! We look forward to working with you and are glad you are interested in our loved labradoodles!

Most likely, there’s a waiting list for our guardian home program. If you are interested in joining the program, please fill out the labradoodle puppy application and let us know you are interested.
Remember, any breeding-related medical costs for the guardian dog are at the expense of Providence Hill. Our guardian homes are only responsible for routine maintenance and medical care just as they would be for their own dog.
