Guardian Program
🌟 Clay Acres French Bulldogs Guardian Home Program
Our Guardian Home Program invites local families to partner with us in raising the next generation of top-quality French Bulldogs. In exchange for a discounted price, you provide a loving home for one of our breeding dogs while we retain breeding rights. Once the dog retires, they are spayed or neutered and become your lifelong companion.
🏡 What Is a Guardian Home?
- 25% off the regular pet price ($3,500–$6,500)
- Fully health-tested, premium French Bulldog
- Ongoing support from Clay Acres
Note: Guardian families are responsible for day-to-day costs and the final spay/neuter. Clay Acres covers all breeding-related expenses.
✅ General Responsibilities for Guardian
- Routine vet care, vaccinations, and preventatives
- High-quality food and regular exercise
- Secure fenced yard and indoor living
- No other intact dogs in the household
- Every Other Month updates
👨🔧 Male Guardian Dogs
Most of our Guardian opportunities are for males. These dogs are needed for short periods — 2–4 times per year for 2–5 days at a time. We schedule pickups with plenty of notice. The rest of the time, your boy is with your family full-time and is your pet for life.
Compensation: $200 per outside stud service (excludes Clay Acres females)
👩🍼 Female Guardian Dogs
While less common, we do place some females in Guardian Homes. When she goes into heat (every 6–8 months), we’ll arrange breeding. She stays with you until about 1 week before the due date, then returns to us to whelp and raise the litter. She comes back to you once puppies are weaned at 4–5 weeks.
Compensation: $100 per puppy born (up to 3–4 litters)
📍 Requirements
- Personally Trustworthy
Live within 1 hour of Claycomo, Missouri - Secure fencing and safe environment
- Reliable transportation
- Commitment to premium care and communication
🔁 Retirement & Transition
Females typically retire after 2–3 litters, often I will do only 1 or two litters if in a guardian home. Males usually serve for 3–5 years depending on health and performance. At retirement, dogs are spayed/neutered at your expense and stay with your family forever.
