Interview #6 - Michele Taylor, Taylormade Miniature Golden Retrievers - Guardian Homes & Puppy-Raising Families

Hello Honest Dog Breeders! Today we are so lucky to have Michele Taylor of Taylormade Miniature Golden Retrievers. Michele and her husband have 8 beautiful children and an amazing dog breeding program.  Through a unique housing restriction Michele had to get creative with her program, she has successfully used guardian homes to not only increase the size of her program and maintain the genetic diversity she is looking for, but to also give her breeding dogs a high quality of life that's less taxing on her family.  Michele talks us through how she runs her guardian program, what she pays people, how she gets paid, and how she manages these guardian dogs.  I know you'll love what she has to say and even if you primarily have all your breeding dogs at your home like I do, you might find that exploring guardian homes may increase your options.
