You can't claim to love dogs and only be in favor of rescue. If you truly love dogs and want the best for the species, you need to also support the idea of responsible breeding. If the only dogs you deem acceptable to own are the sad and sickly messes made by irresponsible breeding practices bought through the proxy of rescue, and demonize the practice of responsible preservation breeding then the idea you're ultimately supporting is that the only dogs that should have a place in this world are those bred irresponsibly.
We should want - DEMAND - better for our dogs. And that means advocating for the breeding of better dogs. Dogs that can live long and happy lives. Responsible rescue will always be necessary, but if we continue to vilify and discourage responsible breeding we simply won't have any healthy dogs left to enjoy. I need guardians who fully support my mission to bring healthier and better bred dogs into our community. Dogs that have had full health testing and are unaffected by the many health conditions common in poodle and doodle varieties.
Sadly, many doodle breeds currently have so many health issues because they have been so poorly bred by irresponsible breeders due to the huge boom in popularity. These "back yard breeders" as they are commonly called target popular and desirable breeds simply to make a quick buck off the puppies. They breed without investing any money into health testing the parents prior to breeding and thus end up producing puppies that are affected by severe genetic disorders. We are working very hard to fix this by only breeding the healthiest dogs available.
What dogs are chosen for Guardianship?
We only select pick of the litter puppies (that we've either bred or purchased) to become potential guardian prospects. These puppies are the cream of the crop. They will come from fully health tested parents, have demonstrated the BEST temperaments and be well suited structurally for our program. This means that most years only 1-2 puppies will be available on a guardian basis.
