Here at The Labrador Lodge, we are offering a Guardianship Program. We feel that this program is greatly beneficial to our dogs. The Guardianship Program allows our dogs to be in their forever homes right away. There is no cost for the dogs/puppies that go to a Guardian Home.
- The Guardian family is financially responsible for regular vet checks, vaccinations, monthly Heartgard, and quarterly Bravecto. The Labrador Lodge will cover the cost of the spay/neuter once the dog’s breeding career is done.
- Once your pup is at least 18 months old, she will go to our reproductive veterinarian in Lomira for some testing to see if she is a good candidate for our breeding program.
- If she is a good fit for the program, then we will bring her back to our facility for a couple hours to be bred.
- About 4 weeks after she was bred, she will return to our reproductive veterinarian for an appointment to confirm pregnancy. This visit takes approximately one hour. After the appointment she goes back home to you.
- About 5 days before she is due, she will have another appointment with our reproductive veterinarian to do an x-ray that will give us a good idea on how many puppies she has. After this appointment she returns to our facilities for delivery and stays until the puppies are weaned (approximately 4-6 wks.) Once the puppies are weaned, she will then go back to you.
That process is the breeding process that will be repeated 4 times.
We have some dogs/pups currently in Guardian Programs and it is a win-win situation. If you are interested in the program then the next step is to fill out an application. After your application is approved, we would then do a home visit.
