Dayzee Mae Boxers
&
Balor's Bulldogges
Guardian Program
Currently have two adult females eligible, and two adult males (no young pups available at this time for our program)
Dayzee Mae Boxers is committed to all of our dogs and believe our dogs should live in a home environment and NOT a kennel setting. So, to ensure each of our breeding program dogs get all the love and attention they deserve we have enlisted our Guardian home program. As our breeding program expands, we will be on the search for new Guardian homes for our dogs. As a Guardian, full ownership is not transferred to you until the boxer retires from Breeding, however once retired full ownership rights are then given to you. Read on for more info:
Guardian families are responsible for normal dog care, including, but not limited to, training, socialization, vet expenses (non breeding-related as all breeding related expenses are covered by Dayzee Mae Boxers), food, grooming and lots of love and affection. Dayzee Mae Boxers pays for all breeding-related expenses.
The Guardian program helps provide a family that may not have the funds to purchase a boxer puppy into their family, or is wanting a older boxer that is already housebroken at no cost to you.
If at any time a puppy is available, it will be Dayzee Mae Boxers TOP choice (whether purchase or the “pick of the litter” ) that is personally chosen by us to live with their Guardian family.
Guardian Program
In order to be a Guardian Family, you must meet the following criteria:
* Guardian home must be within an hour from Des Moines, IA. LOCATION IS HUGE! If you live further than an hour, it is negotiable however you MUST be willing to meet at minimum for breeding an hour from Des Moines, IA.
* Guardian home must not have any other dogs, unless otherwise agreed upon, however if we do agree, it MUST be of the opposite sex and spayed/neutered.
* Guardian home must have a fenced-in yard
* Guardian home must have prior dog experience, preferably with a boxer
* Notify breeder AS SOON AS female comes into season.
* Provide monthly photos and updates for our website.
* Bring the dog to Dayzee Mae Boxers (or deliver within an hour distance to Des Moines, IA) as needed for breeding's, whelping.
*Willingness to follow guidelines, contract and recommendations set forth by Dayzee Mae Boxers
for dog’s basic veterinary care such as vaccine schedules, flea & tick protection, grooming,
nutrition, etc.
The Guardian Program works like this: when we have a prospective breeding dog (could be male or female), we will look for a guardian home to place them in until they are ready to be bred. When the dog reaches breeding age (Females 2 years old, Males 1 year old), they will come back to our home to be bred (could be two weeks approximately for female or male) or used as stud and will return to your house for the duration of their pregnancy, or for males returned home when done breeding with female. For females when it's time for the arrival of their litter, they will again return to our home 2 weeks prior to due date and stay for 8 weeks until puppies go to their forever homes. When the dog has completed our breeding program, it is to be spayed/neutered paid for by the Guardian family then full ownership is then transferred to Guardian family to live out the rest of their wonderful life.
Male Guardian dogs leave their Guardian homes for very short periods of time to sire and typically retire from Breeding anywhere from 6-7 years old.
Female breeding boxers come to us to be bred and then will return to you. When it is time for the birth, she will return to Dayzee Mae Boxers for the delivery, nursing, and weaning of the puppies. Females usually reside with us for 8 weeks after their puppies are born. We do understand it is difficult for Guardian families to have their beloved girl gone for an extended amount of time. We do encourage and welcome families to visit their girls while she is with us but this is something you need to decide you are comfortable with before becoming a Guardian family. Female boxers typically retire from breeding when Veterinarian recommends, which is typically anywhere from 5-6 years old.
We do have an application process, and a contract outlining all of the details, so if you are interested, email us for more information or an application. FYI established Veterinarian reference is required.
