Guardian Home Application
Our Guardian Home Program allows for local families to love, enjoy and have a high quality “pick of the litter” French Bulldog puppy, at a significantly reduced price.  As a Guardian Home, you get the very best dog that Bullish Pride has to offer.


How does the Guardian Home Program work?
Most of our dogs/pups, available for our Guardian Program, will be females. We will occasionally have males that we place in Guardian Homes but their fees are different compared to the females.

Each dog is individually assessed before determining their required litters. Most of our Guardian dogs will have between two and four litters for us, depending on the female and what our reproductive vet is recommending at time the C-Section is performed. Female Guardian puppies placed in a Guardian Home will have up to (and no more than) a total of four litters. The health and well being of our breeding dogs are a priority to us, and prior to any breeding,  Bullish Pride will receive clearance by our reproductive veterinarian. Occasionally we may decide to have fewer litters if we have accomplished our goals in development of our Guardian dog in a shorter period of time. Again, this is determined by Bullish Pride.

Our Guardian Home puppy or dog lives in your home as your family pet and forever companion. Bullish Pride will retain ALL breeding rights. As a Guardian Home you will be required to cover the normal expenses of owning a puppy/dog including annual exams, vaccines, food, grooming, training, any emergency care needed. We will pay for all breeding related costs including health testing as we deem needed.
If you are applying for a young adult, or mature Guardian dog, she will already come to you completely health tested, and may have just a couple more breeding’s for us (depending on her age and the number of litters she has had) prior to her being spayed and released solely to you as a forever pet.

If you are applying for a Guardian Home puppy, she will come to you between 8-12 weeks of age. During the first year, Bullish Pride will have her health testing completed. Once we receive all of the results from her health testing, we are then able to assess whether or not she will enter our breeding program. If for any reason we decide not to breed the Guardian Puppy placed with you (this is a decision solely made by Bullish Pride) we will then pay to spay the Guardian puppy at no cost to you, and she will remain a forever family pet with her Guardian Family.

If you are receiving a Guardian Home puppy, we ask for monthly photos and updates during the first year so that we can watch her develop, and update our website. We also will require a visit to our Guardian Family’s home every few months during the first year to assess the Guardian Puppy, as well as build a relationship with her for the future. Occasionally, we will ask our Guardian Families to bring the puppy to us for a visit so that she can get comfortable with our home for when she will be here with us in the future having babies.

When the Guardian dog is in season, the Guardian Home is required to contact us immediately. An intact female usually has a heat cycle that will last between 14 and 21 days. During this time, we will need access to her for breeding related appointments. Once she has been bred, she will remain with her Guardian Family until one week before her due date. At that time, the Guardian dog will come back to stay with us throughout the whelping process and will be returned once her pups are fully weaned approximately 7 weeks later. Guardian Families are welcomed and strongly encouraged to visit with scheduled appointments while their Guardian Dog is with us at Bullish Pride.

The Guardian puppy or dog will belong to Bullish Pride until the breeding arrangement is fulfilled. (Bullish Pride will not be liable or responsible if puppy/dog bites or causes any harm to anyone or damage to any property) Once a dog is retired from breeding, we pay for the cost of the spay and full ownership of the dog is transferred to the guardian family.

The cost of a Guardian Home puppy/dog is $1000.  For compensation, the Guardian Home will receive $100 for each puppy sold up to $500 maximum for each litter.  (A litter consists of 3 or more viable puppies at 8 weeks of age)

It does take a commitment and willingness to be flexible for the needs of the Breeder, but we believe it is well worth it to receive what is  typically  a "Cream of the Crop" puppy or dog. Of course, there are requirements set forth in a contract that must be followed for obvious reasons. The value of one of these dogs can be up to $20,000 and more. Hence, the need for the breeder to find just the right home.

Becoming a Guardian Home is not for everyone, This is not a gateway to get a cheap Frenchie/dog gimmick. This is a business agreement and commitment. You MUST be willing and able to follow these requirements.
