Belbon Oodles Guardian Program

Ethical Breeding

​

Raising Exceptional Oodles in Loving Family Homes

At Belbon Oodles, we are committed to ethical, home-raised breeding practices that prioritise the health, temperament and wellbeing of every dog. Our Guardian Program allows approved families to welcome a beautiful dog into their home without paying a purchase price, while partnering with us to support responsible breeding in a family environment.

Our guardian dogs are raised as cherished pets — never kennelled — ensuring they grow into confident, well-adjusted companions and produce healthy, well-socialised puppies.

​

What Is a Guardian Dog Program?

A guardian dog program places breeding dogs into carefully selected family homes rather than kennel environments. The dog lives full-time with her guardian family, enjoying normal family life, while remaining part of our breeding program for a limited time.

This ethical approach allows Belbon Oodles to raise happy, healthy Cavoodles, King Charles Cavaliers and Havanese in real homes — creating better outcomes for dogs and puppies alike.

​

Our Guardian Dogs

Our guardian girls may be:

• Cavoodles

• King Charles Cavaliers

• Havanese

Each dog is chosen based on temperament, health testing and suitability for family living. Every placement is thoughtfully matched to ensure a long-term, positive experience for both dog and family.

​

Cost & Training Requirements

Guardian families do not pay a purchase price for their guardian dog.

To ensure consistency, structure and excellent manners, all guardian dogs must complete a 28-day Stay & Train program with our professional trainer. This program focuses on:

• Foundational obedience training

• Socialisation and confidence building

• Household manners and routine

The cost of the 28-day Stay & Train program is paid by the guardian family.

​

Breeding & Care Responsibilities

Guardian families are responsible for:

• Daily care, feeding and exercise

• Grooming and basic training

• Routine veterinary care and ongoing maintenance cost

• Pet Insurance

Belbon Oodles covers all breeding-related costs, including:

• Genetic and health testing

• Breeding management

• Pregnancy, whelping and reproductive veterinary care

All breeding arrangements are planned in advance, with clear communication and minimal disruption to family life.

​

Guardian Family Benefits

As part of our Guardian Program, families receive:

• $100 reimbursement per puppy born to their guardian dog

• Payment provided following each litter

This acknowledges the time, care and commitment guardian families provide throughout their dog’s breeding career.

​

Retirement & Full Ownership

Once a guardian dog has completed her breeding obligations, she is retired from the Belbon Oodles breeding program.

At retirement:

• All breeding rights are released

• Full ownership permanently transfers to the guardian family

• No further obligations apply

Your dog remains exactly where she belongs — in her loving family home.
