Breeder Caretaker

Individuals or families care for an adult breeder dog in their home. They provide a safe and loving home where the dog will maintain housebreaking, obedience, excellent house manners, and maintain the dog in proper body condition. Veterinary care is provided by the Foundation, and caretakers are responsible for the cost of food, treats, bedding and any other creature comforts.

There are occasional MANDATORY attendance at health clinics and regular obedience classes. All those interested must fill out a breeder caretaker application, attend a breeding caretaker orientation, and have a home check by a representative of the Foundation.
