About the Program
We are committed to providing a wonderful life for ALL of our dogs. All of our Breeding Dogs are pets. Our Guardian Program allows families that might not be able to have one of our dogs or families that want to support a "better way of breeding" to become part of our Oklahoma Labradoodles Family and Team.
A Guardian Family home is a place where one of our Australian Labradoodle dogs or puppies chosen specially for our Oklahoma Breeding Program lives as a wonderful family dog. Oklahoma Labradoodles retains all breeding rights, and guardian family gets a pet for reduced fee.
The Australian Labradoodle dog or puppy will live with you and come to Oklahoma Labradoodles only when required testing needs to be done, when it is time to be bred or when she is ready to have her puppies- health testing and any reproductive costs are that of Oklahoma Labradoodles.
