Guardian Homes: A Win-Win for Families and Dogs

At Minnesota Collies, we believe that every dog deserves a loving, family-centered environment. Our Guardian Home Program allows select families to provide a permanent home for one of our exceptional Collies while partnering with us to continue improving the breed through a carefully managed breeding program.

What Is a Guardian Home?

A Guardian Home is a special arrangement where a qualified family cares for one of our breeding dogs as a beloved family pet. While living in your home, the dog participates in our breeding program for a set number of litters. Once their breeding career is complete, they remain with your family forever.

Why Become a Guardian Family?

Becoming a Guardian Home comes with unique benefits:

  • A Top-Quality Dog: You’ll receive a well-bred Collie at no upfront cost.

  • Ongoing Support: We provide lifetime veterinary care related to breeding and guidance on raising a healthy, happy dog.

  • A Lasting Bond: Your dog becomes part of your family while playing a vital role in preserving and improving the Collie breed.

What We Look for in a Guardian Family

We are looking for families who:

  • Provide a Loving Home: Offering plenty of attention, exercise, and socialization.

  • Maintain Care Standards: Ensuring proper nutrition, grooming, and regular vet check-ups.

  • Live Nearby: Residing within a reasonable distance from our farm for ease of vet visits and breeding appointments.

Your Commitment

As a Guardian Family, your primary responsibility is to love and care for your dog like any cherished pet. We handle all expenses related to breeding and associated veterinary care. After the agreed-upon breeding term, full ownership of the dog transfers to you, ensuring they stay with the family they love.
