Guardian Home Program Information
We pride ourselves in being an IN-HOME breeding program. This means that we do not keep any of our dogs in kennels or outdoor enclosures. We want an equally great life for all our dogs (breeding and pet dogs) so we have decided to introduce our Guardian Program. This program enables every dog to get the individual attention, love, and care they deserve and allows Selah Mountain to continue producing beautiful unrelated litters from these dogs. Although we would like to have several dogs in our home (more dogs to cuddle!), we feel its best for our family and dogs to find amazing homes outside our household to receive individualized love and bond with a special family. Monetary compensation is given to our guardian home families for each litter produced with their dog, this is a way to off-set the day to day costs on caring for this beautiful dog.
Selah Mountain Dogs is financially responsible for every guardian dogs breeding related health testing (OFA & Genetic Disease), all reproductive costs and sterilization after the dog is retired. The Guardian Home would be responsible for any incidental (accident-related) circumstances, vet bills due to common colds/sickness and also the day to day costs. Day to day costs include; food, grooming, flea and worm treatment, obedience training, and vaccinations. Once Selah Mountain Dogs retires and sterilizes the particular breeding dog, the ownership would be transferred to the Guardian's name and all responsibilities for the dog would be the new owners. Should it occur, compensation for the death of the dog would be required from the guardian if the guardian is found to be at fault or negligent.
