Breeder Standards

Guardian Paws works only with certified, responsible breeders. We hold a zero-tolerance policy for unethical or substandard practices. Every breeder must meet strict requirements, including annual reviews, facility inspections, and adherence to our proprietary care standards.

Licensed & Certified

All breeders in our network must be USDA licensed (or qualify under USDA exemption rules) and maintain an active relationship with a licensed veterinarian.

Comprehensive Screening

Every breeder partner undergoes a rigorous application process including interviews, facility inspections, background checks, compliance evaluations, and veterinary history reviews. Our standards go beyond government requirements, ensuring every puppy is raised with compassion and care.

Continuous Monitoring

We remain in regular contact with breeders, ensuring ongoing compliance. From housing and cleanliness to socialization, exercise, and enrichment, we hold breeders accountable to the highest standards of care.

Veterinary Care

Every Guardian Paws breeder must follow an approved Program of Veterinary Care (PVC), managed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian. Puppies are kept up to date with vaccinations and deworming, following the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) guidelines.

Housing & Environment

Puppies and parents live in safe, clean, and comfortable spaces. We evaluate:

• Housing size & ventilation

• Temperature & noise levels

• Flooring, bedding & lighting

• Outdoor play & exercise areas

• Cleanliness, pest control & enrichment

Trained & Caring Staff

We require breeders to provide adequate staffing and continuous training so every puppy and parent receives daily care, socialization, and human interaction.

Health Check

Before going home, every puppy receives a complete nose-to-tail veterinary examination. This ensures they are healthy, happy, and ready for their forever families. To give you peace of mind, every puppy is also covered under our 10-Year Health Commitment.

Delivery with Love

Guardian Paws partners only with USDA-certified transport professionals who treat every puppy with care. We guarantee your puppy’s journey home will be safe, gentle, and as stress-free as possible.

Guardian Paws Gives Back

We believe in giving back to the community. From volunteering at local shelters to our Retired Dogs Program, which helps rehome older dogs whose families can no longer care for them, Guardian Paws is committed to improving the lives of dogs everywhere.

Fighting Puppy Scams

Guardian Paws actively works with industry leaders and community partners to fight against online pet scams. We urge our families and breeders to share information on suspicious activity so we can protect future puppy parents and ensure that every adoption comes from a trusted, responsible source.
