Guardian Home Program

Snow Peak Paw's is focused on the best interest of our packs, and therefore focuses all of its efforts toward improving the health and wellbeing of its dogs. This includes finding the perfect fit for each of our breeding dogs. While we would always love to keep them all, it is simply not a feasible option. That is why we send some of our wonderful breeding dogs home with families who will give them all of the love, attention and care that they deserve.

Guardian Home Requirements

  1. Guardian Homes must live within 1hr away (for breeding females) or 30 minutes (for breeding males) from Lebanon. Oregon.

  2. Guardians, (you), are responsible for expenses of normal care: yearly vaccinations, vet bills, regular flea, and worming treatments, grooming, obedience classes, Licensing, and microchipping (Our name must also be on the microchip.)

What is a Guardian Home?

A Guardian home allows us to place our breeding dogs in homes until they mature and are ready to breed. This allows our breeding dogs to get dedicated attention and love while we expand our breeding stock to serve more families.

Application Process

Each guardian that is approved through Snow Peak Paws is carefully chosen to meet the high standards we have for our breeding dogs.

How do I apply?

We are very meticulous about our guardian homes. If you feel you have a good understanding of our expectations for guardian homes and have reviewed all of the resources we have for guardians, see our Guardian Home Application.
