Maple Lane Guardian Program includes the following for females:
· Additional vet visits for testing in each breeding cycle. This is a breeding expense and will be covered by us of course, but, depending on your distance from our home and vet office, you may need to take her to your vet for those additional visits.
· Periodic eye screenings and additional hip testing for breeding, which we will generally provide transportation for (cost covered by us).
· We will need to take her 2-3 times over the course of several days for breeding at each breeding cycle, each time for several hours.
· She will need to return to our home for whelping and caring for her puppies. If you are interested in mom and puppies staying in your home from whelping (which we would attend) through 6 weeks, we can discuss that possibility. There is financial compensation for the time and work involved in caring for the puppies. This option is only open if there if either spouse stays home as puppies require regular attention throughout the day.
· You will need to make us aware of the early signs of heat and the arrival of her heat cycle each time, whether or not we intend to breed on that cycle so that we can track her cycle.
