Guardian Homes
Sac River Goldendoodles & Bernedoodles LLC
At Sac River Goldendoodles & Bernedoodles LLC, our Guardian Home Program allows approved families to receive one of our top-quality breeding prospects at no purchase cost while partnering with us in our professional breeding program.
We believe our breeding dogs deserve to live as beloved family companions — not in kennels. Our Guardian Program allows our Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, and Bernese Mountain Dogs to grow up in loving homes while remaining an important part of our carefully managed program.
What is a Guardian Home?
A Guardian Home receives a puppy from our program at no cost.
In return, the dog remains part of Sac River Goldendoodles & Bernedoodles LLC’s breeding program for a set period of time.
• Females typically have 3–4 thoughtfully planned litters.
• After completing her breeding career, she is spayed at our expense.
• Once retired, she becomes fully yours with no further obligations.
