The Guardian Program
How it works...
A guardian home is a local family who is a forever home for one of the dogs in our breeding program. Guardian homes allow our breeding dogs to live with families and not in kennels as our program grows. We are always looking for great guardian homes, so if you are interested, please contact us!
AT THIS TIME WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2 TWO HOMES FOR PRE-APPROVAL...

Please write a bit about yourself and family let us know who you are and what you are looking for. We will get back to you ASAP .. We get many people a day contacting us, thanks for being patient

OUR PROGRAM
~~~~~~~~~~~
Our breeding program is designed around our ability to utilize guardian homes for our breeding dogs either from a puppy or as a young adult after training and health checks. This program is designed this way to benefit everyone, especially and most importantly the dogs, who are raised in a home with a family instead of a kennel. Guardian homes are meant to be permanent so that the dog does not need to go through re-homing.
Contact us to find out how you can get a pick puppy of your own. We are very flexible and try very hard to work with our owners.
Picasso Aussies retains ownership and breeding rights while the dog lives with a family. We want all of our dogs to be in a loving home and it allows us to be kennel free. It is a win, win for everyone, most importantly the dog.
Most of the dogs in our guardian homes will be females but we may have a male from time to time. Females will have up to 4 litters(most are required to have 2 litters from two separate males) and males can be in our program for up to 6 years (at the sole discretion of Picasso Aussies).
When the guardian dog is of age, we will get all of his/her health clearances done and then if all goes well, we will breed them to a mate of our choosing.
If you are the Guardian Family for a female, you will bring your Picasso Aussie to our home to be bred and then she will return home to your family for the duration of her pregnancy. One week before she is due, she will return to Picasso Aussie's home to get ready for the birth of her puppies. She will stay in our home until her puppies are weaned and placed in their new homes! Then the guardian dog will return back to you, her Guardian Family. This is one example of our program each contract is built for each home and many things can be adjusted to suit your home and family.
If you choose that you do not want to have your dog leave for weeks, Guardian Families have the option of making other arrangements with us as long as you have gone through proper training. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know and we can discuss further details. You will have to be willing to be trained on raising a litter and we can work together. We choose our homes very carefully, with priority to homes on an acreage/farm home so future will be socialized to other animals and get early herding exposure.
If you are the Guardian Family for a male, he will just need to come over the week he will be bred and then he can return home!

GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITIES/REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guardian families are responsible for normal dog care including but not limited to training, socialization, vet expenses (non-breeding related), food, grooming and lots of love and affection just as you would any of our companion pups. Picasso Aussies pays for all breeding related expenses ask about shots and deworming. As an added benefit for the guardian family, depending on our schedule we may provide care for your dog while on vacation.
We may ask you to visit our home periodically to ensure the dog is comfortable when he/she comes for breeding and whelping. You will be responsible for sending pictures and updates. We are involved as much or as little as you want we don't want to be invasive. This should be a good experience, we want you to love these dogs as they are your pet and companion.
Willing to work with families a bit outside of this range if you are the perfect home
We ask that you feed a premium food to give your companion the best possible quality of life. Ask us about different food types and quality.
No intact males around the bitch while in season.
Training - Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test paid for by Picasso. All training is provided by Picasso Aussies and can be accessed if you so choose.
Notify us immediately when the dog is in season
We may ask to visit your home periodically to ensure the dog is comfortable when they come back for breeding / whelping(possibly of 1-3 visits) total. Lastly he or she will need to be tested to be accepted into the program.
A "deposit" is required to become a Guardian Family. Depending on the puppy/dog that is chosen, the deposit/payment for one of our Guardian dogs/pups is 500-1000 dollars. Our companion puppies are 3500-5000. The puppy you would take possession of would be pick of the litter, health tested, trained and show quality in both confirmation and performance.
You will be given a gratuity when the contract is fulfilled with Picasso (the gift of $500 along with the dog being spayed or neutered at our cost). We then sign all paperwork over to you as sole owner. There is NO! pet fee that you will have to pay when your Picasso Aussie is fully released from the program. Some breeders will make you pay for your dog after she/he is done with the program. We DO NOT! We believe she has earned her right to be a part of your family for no extra charge.
We also have an incentive for showing or titling any dog of our breeding. If you put a title on your dog we give you 50-100 dollars. We realize the time and dedication that it takes to do so. Titles would include the following disciplines, agility, obedience, rally, herding, scent work, anything that is a recognized title. Companion dog owners are NOT OBLIGATED to show their dog, but are encouraged to take classes and participate.
