What is a “Guardian Family”?
If approved for our Guardian Program, you will be given a Labrador Retriever(puppy or adult). You will raise this dog as your own for the purpose of potentially having litters of puppies with us. The dog will belong to Bennington Retrievers and will be contracted for a certain number of litters. She/He will stay with us for the breeding and whelping process but will be with their Guardian Family between litters and at all other times aside from breeding/whelping and occasional visits for health testing and other breeding related visits. When retired from whelping/siring litters, the dog will be required to be spayed/neutered and they will be signed over to the Guardian Family’s ownership.
We believe this program will be a wonderful way to give our dogs normal, family lives, with more individualized attention and care. They will have a forever family to call their own. Being a guardian family for a Bennington Retrievers puppy is a great way to contribute and be a part of breeding Labradors without having to do the work of whelping puppies and placing puppies into their forever homes.
We are currently accepting applications for two female Labradors!
