Consider being a guardian for a stud or breeding retriever. The benefits are having a well bred and trained dog. There is no upfront costs when you begin. You will have access to the breeder and a free weekly training session. If you need boarding, this will be free with the breeder based on availability. Yearly shots will be paid by breeder.
The requirements are as follows:
- The guardian must be within a two hour radius of Eugene, OR, or be willing to travel when needed. The dog may be shown in AKC events. The breeder has visiting rights-7 monthly visits per year, with notice and 2 yearly visits without notice.
- The dog may be shown in AKC events and the breeder may take the dog for up to 7 days for showing/training. The guardian must let the breeder know when the dog is in heat.
The guardian will be responsible for other vet care (flea, tick, heart worm, etc)
- If the dog fails OFA testing, guardian has first rights to phrase the dog for $2,000.
After the contract is fulfilled, breeder will sign over ownership (max 7 years old). Bredder will pay for spay/neuter before the final transfer.
