Guardian Home Puppy
Venus
Wavy-Coated Multigen Cockapoo Available For a Local Guardian Home
Venus is a gorgeous red parti Cockapoo with a mostly white body and just a touch of red on her sweet face. She’s a total doll who loves playtime and attention! Her parents are two beautiful Cockapoos from an out-of-state breeder, and we first met Venus when she was almost 4 months old. It has been such a joy to watch her grow into the happy, loving girl she is today.
Venus is now 8 months old and weighs about 15 lbs, so she’ll likely only gain a couple more pounds before reaching her full adult size. She’s great with a doggie door but is still working on perfecting housetraining without one. Venus is wonderful with kids, enjoys meeting new people, and has a very friendly, outgoing personality. She also does fine with cats.
We are looking for a guardian home for Venus. In our guardian program, the dog lives with their family most of the year as a beloved pet, then comes back to us when it’s time to have puppies. This is a great way to have a top-quality dog without the full cost of purchasing one, while also helping us continue our responsible breeding program. We look for homes that are established and local, within 2 Hours of Wharton TX, preferably. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for more information on being a Guardian Home. Our hope is that you won't be moving away over the next 3-4 years and we love it if you have other dogs or have had pets before and can provide a vet reference.

Let's Watch Venus Grow Up:
What is a Guardian Home?
A guardian home is a permanent, loving, forever home for a dog in our breeding program. This allows them to stay with one family and receive all the love and attention of a one-on-one pet! Being a guardian home means that you get a wonderful companion while they're still a part of our breeding program.
Does it cost anything to be a Guardian family?
There is no cost for the puppy or dog, but you are responsible for the normal costs of dog ownership such as daily care, grooming, heartworm and flea preventative, vet visits, etc.
Benefits to being a Guardian Family:
Your family will be receiving a pick of the litter puppy chosen by the breeder.
Spay/neutering paid for by Breeder when breeding agreement is completed. Typically they are retired from breeding at 5 years old.
Guardian families can schedule trips during breedings/whelpings without worry or cost of kenneling their pets. Breeder can also provide boarding.
Males stay with their Guardian families and are only brought to the females to breed.
What families make the “ideal” Guardian home?
You must be willing to feed premium quality food and follow basic health care, veterinarian care, such as maintaining vaccine schedules as well as take the puppy to at least one 6 week obedience training course.
The primary care giver must not have a schedule that will cause the dog to be left home alone for long periods of time on a regular basis. This is “ideal” and exceptions are made on a case by case basis.
No other intact dogs should ever be on the premises to prevent unwanted mating.
We may do a home visit and require you live within 2 hrs of Wharton TX.
Must have a fenced in yard and own your own home. An invisible fence is suitable for males but females must have a physical fence. Again, this is “ideal” and exceptions are made on a case by case basis.
The puppy must be raised indoors and never left outside unattended.
If you have a female, she would be left with us for around 1 week when she is in heat, return to you for her pregnancy, and then come back to us for around 9 weeks when she has a litter. Please make sure you are emotionally prepared to leave her with us for this period of time before agreeing to become a guardian home! If you feel your children or other pets would be too attached to have them leave for that long then a guardian home may not be a good fit.
When the female is in season, the Guardian family is required to contact us immediately so that arrangements can be made for breeding. We ask that Guardian families keep us updated on the puppy which would include photos every 3 months so that we may keep our website updated.
You must be willing to bring or meet us for the health testing appointments paid for by us.
