Guardian Home Program

Thank you for your interest in our Guardian Program.  We strive to place all of our amazing dogs to a home that provides lots of snuggles, play time and an overwhelming amount of love.  A Guardian Home is where one of our cavaliers goes to live with their forever home family, and returns Cavaliers of House Northup on occasion for breeding.  We believe this is a win win situation as the Guardian family has the opportunity to raise a wonderful Cavalier in their home in exchange for us to breed a handful of litters.

​

Of course we will provide support and guidance along the way. Always welcoming the dog home for vacation and puppy sitting.  At the end of the Guardian program the dog belongs to the Guardian family 100% for the duration of his or her life.  The main focus of our Guardian program is to produce happy and healthy puppies to serve as wonderful representatives of the breed, and provide families with amazing dogs that will be love, cherished, well cared for the rest of their lives.
