Sharing your home with a JDV adult
Our guardian homes
Some of our dogs spend time in a guardian home between showing and breeding commitments. These may be imported females we are raising, health testing, and getting to know, or adolescents who need time to mature before showing.
I love these dogs and want them to enjoy the attention and everyday companionship of family life. A guardian shares in their care while staying in close communication with me and making them available for the commitments we agree on.
Most arrangements are temporary. Sometimes permanent ownership becomes an option after retirement or if I decide not to breed a dog. That possibility is discussed individually; it is not promised with every placement.
What you need to know
Each dog has an individual agreement. Our minimum expectations include weekly nail Dremeling, maintaining nails no longer than ½ inch, and covering food, supplements, chosen activities, and veterinary care resulting from injury or accident. Guardians outside Las Vegas must be willing to meet at a major airport when requested.
We discuss the dog’s needs, your household, travel, expenses, and the expected length of the arrangement before either of us commits. I want this to feel like a relationship you understand and welcome.
