Guardian Homes

We are grateful for our Guardian families that are crucial to our breeding program allowing breeding dogs to live in loving homes as pets. No Hillcrest Doodle will ever live in a kennel!

We may have a puppy available for a guardian home late July 2021 and another possibly December or January.  If you live within an 40 miles of  Visalia California, have a fenced in yard, and a family member who is home most of  the day, we would love to hear from you! Please read about our guardian home program prior to inquiring to be sure you are eligible!  Only eligible families that apply will be contacted.  Thank you for your interest!
