the Program:

 

We partner with a local, qualified family and give them our pick of the litter in exchange for us to retain breeding rights. We will do up to 4 litters with females, or up to age 7 for males, with that dog before they are spayed/neutered and continue to remain with their guardian family. We cover all breeding related expenses, the family covers routine care. 

 

*Note: This is Not a free dog! There is still a financial commitment involved both to ensure commitment to the quality of life for the dog, as well as commitment to the program. The cash incentives fully refund the amount paid for the dog + extra by the time the dog is ready to retire. 

 

We pay our families a cash incentive each litter(females)/Year(males) for participating in the program and raising a wonderful pup.

• Live within 1 1/2 hours of Acton, Maine(or be willing to travel within that range)

• No intact males in the home(for female guardians)

• Have previous experience with owning dogs
