Our guardian program is a great way to welcome a pick-of-the-litter puppy or mature dog into your home without the puppy outlay.
The guardian dogs stay in our breeding program for a maximum of four litters and then full ownership is transferred to the guardian family.
For those interested, please keep reading.
Sometimes we like to keep the puppies we’ve selected for the Guardian Program here until they’re older.
If you’re interested in a dog out of puppy stage, check with available guardianships.
The same conditions apply as with a puppy.
Most of our dogs/pups available for our Guardian Program will be females. Occasionally we will have a male available as well.
If you are applying for a young adult, or mature Guardian dog, she will come to you completely health tested, and may have just a couple more breedings for us left to go.
During their breedings, we will retain the ownership of the dogs until the fourth litter. After their fourth litter, they will officially become yours and we will pay the desexing fee.
In return for taking in and caring for the parent, we will pay for all immunisations, worm and tick treatments.
During the time they stay with you, you will be responsible for feeding and grooming your new family member.
During the timespan of the parents' four litters, they will still be our dog, but you are allowed to register them with the council under your name.
After the parent has had their fourth litter, the Guardian Program agreement will be finished and you will take full ownership of the parent.
First, you need to fill out the application form below.
Then you will need to get on a video-call with Margy. After you have qualified you will need to...
Then prepare your house so the parent is ready to join your family!
Our girls have a maximum of four litters and are then desexed and continue their happy lives with their guardian families.
We will guide you through the selection process when you apply for a puppy to ensure the match is right between you and the Puppy.
We believe we have puppies to suit every family.
The definition of hypoallergenic is something “designed to reduce or minimize the possibility of an allergic response” so with this in mind we do all we can to achieve non to minimal shedding with the poodle mix but no one can guarantee a dog is 100% hypoallergenic.
On occasions, people are allergic to a dog's saliva and not the coat so we would have no control over that scenario. Our hybrid breeds will have either low or non-shed coats.
Puppies whose parents are back bred to a Bernese Mountain dog or golden retriever will have more shedding.
There are so many beautiful hybrids and over the years we have bred several of them. We’re now focusing on the three combinations we believe are the best for temperament and intelligence. The Bernedoodle, The Groodle and The Bordoodle.
Manny Park Puppies guardian dog program has been a blessing to both myself and Maloo (My guardian dog)
Margy is the most beautiful and caring breeder who really cares about her pups, their health and the integrity of their breeding.
I have felt very supported and informed the whole process. The breeding quality of Maloo is amazing.
She is intelligent, responsive and very easy to train. She will make an excellent support dog in the future.
Manny Park Puppies guardian dog program is brilliant and highly recommended. I have truly been given a gift for life.
Thank you Margy.
Being part of Manny Park Puppies Guardian Dog program has been a joy, delight & absolute pleasure.
We have not only got the doggie that we wanted but have had most beautiful experience for our kids to see and play with real life puppies.
We have made lifelong friends with Margy & Russ.
It has been a pleasure to work with Margy’s beautiful generous caring nature and be part of her breeding program.
Our beloved dog Willow loves going back to Margy when she is due to mate or have her litter. No wonder when you visit Manny Park Puppies and see the natural environment that the dogs are brought up in!
Adopting our dog Willow gave her a wonderful family home while she was still breeding & having her litters.
It’s a wonderful thing to do, a special experience for the family and so easy that I’ve since got quite a few friends to adopt some of Manny Park Puppies breeding dogs.
Warmest, Leisa & Ford Trembath & kids
We had never, EVER considered owning a poodle before.
Everything changed when a friend introduced us to Manny Park Puppies.
Our friend explained that her family was a “Guardian Family” for one of Manny Park Puppies’ breeding dogs. Our ears pricked up. (Pardon the pun)
We spoke with Margy about the possibility of our family becoming a guardian family too.
At that time, Margy was looking for a family to take care of one of Manny Park Puppies’ miniature poodles, named “Irish”.
Margy offered us the opportunity to become Irish’s guardian family, and we accepted with delight.
Throughout Irish’s breeding lifetime, we were always very well supported by Manny Park Puppies.
Margy was always so helpful and provided us with ongoing support. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Margy.
We never imagined that a small ball of red fluff would very quickly grow to become such a massive part of our family.
Irish has brought so much laughter and joy, such happiness and love to our household. Irish has the personality of 20 dogs all wrapped up in 1 dog.
She is a crazeeeeeee nutter, but she is now our crazeeeeeee nutter, forever.
Irish has retired from breeding now and she is living a great life in our family.
She rules the roost here and we could not imagine our life without her in it.
Thank you Margy, and thank you Manny Park Puppies, for giving us this wonderful opportunity to be one of your guardian families.
P.S. We still don’t own a poodle. Our poodle owns us. X
After seeing close friends of ours who were guardians for their Groodle Willow, we were fortunate enough to be introduced to the lovely Margyfrom Manny Park Puppies.
We have now had our beautiful Cavoodle Lucee with us for just over two years.
Margy was full of information on what we needed to do, being Guardians has been so easy. Lucee has had three litters in total and is now fully desexed and ours to keep.
She has been a beautiful addition to our family.
Thank you Margy.
