We’re planning for a mid-2025 litter; additionally, we’re searching for the perfect homes for the following dogs. If you think you may be a good match, then get in touch!
I am happy to make recommendations in the meantime if you’re not willing to wait for a puppy.
Guardian Homes I rarely assign guardian homes, but I like to have the option should the right situation arise. It will more likely apply to us placing a male because having multiple intact males in our home can cause pack/behavior issues. We retain breeding rights, and that owner agrees to allow us access to that dog for potential future stud use in our program. If we place a female, then she will likely be older so that she has had time to bond with us. That makes it less stressful on her should she come back to us for a breeding. This arrangement is a win-win situation for the gaurdian home and our breeding program. Read below for more information.
Adult female placement
September 2024: We’re in search of a local guardian home for Piper, an intact 2.5-year-old female. She has completed her final health testing, passing with flying colors, and will be a future mother. She must be placed within 50 miles of zip code 28746 on a strict contractual agreement. Send me an email to inquire. ChicoraRidgebacks@gmail.com:
⭐️ Active home
⭐️ Crate trained
⭐️ No other female dogs in the home
⭐️ Fenced yard
⭐️ No intact dogs in the home
⭐️ Ongoing cooperation with breeder
⭐️ Comes back to me for breeding, whelping, and boarding
⭐️ Free boarding
⭐️ Guardian home earns a percentage of any litters she produces
Discounted placement, but highly restricted via a legal contract. Rebates/discounts for lure coursing titles.
Our search for the perfect home is based on our desire to grow our program.
Male Pup/dog placement
We’re very carefully screening applications for someone to offer a guardian home for an in-tact male pup/dog, intended to be a stud in our breeding program in the future. This is a very special placement. He must be placed within 50 miles of zip code 28746, on a strict contractual agreement. Send me an email to inquire. ChicoraRidgebacks@gmail.com:
⭐️ Active home
⭐️ No other male dogs or intact dogs in the home
⭐️ Fenced yard
⭐️ Ongoing cooperation with breeder
⭐️ Comes back to me for breeding and boarding
⭐️ Free boarding
⭐️ Guardian home earns a percentage of any litters he produces
Discounted placement, but highly restricted via a legal contract. Rebates/discounts for lure coursing titles.
Our search for the perfect home is based on our desire to grow our program, but having more than one intact male can lead to issues within our pack.
PRICING: My puppies/dogs are well bred, and therefore not cheap. I do not haggle on prices; I do not compromise my ethics to compete with the economy. Please do not begin the application process if you’re looking for a cheap dog–I do not want to waste your time or mine.
We would either bring our female to your male for the stud service or borrow him for no more than a week at a time. We also may occasionally take him for vet visits. If he’s competing in conformation and you’re not the handler, then we may have him for several weekends a year. For a female, we would have her for a couple of months.
Qualifications
If you believe you can meet the following requirements and want to be considered as a guardian, then we’d love to hear from you.
- Our guardians must not live further than an hour from zip code 28746
- Potential guardians must place a non-refundable holding fee, complete an extensive application, provide references and agree to our contract
- Guardian homes must not have an intact dog of the opposite gender living in the home already or during the agreement
