Northern Great Danes Guardian Home Program Questionnaire

Occassionally, Northern Great Danes allows qualified families/individuals ownership of a breeding puppy/dog. We (Breeder) grants Guardian Home Family (Guardian) sole ownership of the dog at the end of the contract period, which will conclude after the dog is retired from breeding.

Guardian homes allow us to ensure dogs in our program have the best care & attention that they deserve. While we would love to have everyone here, we know our limits is important and part of responsible breeding.

Guardian responsibilities and Breeder obligations are described in the contract.
