Our commitment to transparency
A clearer view of the people, preparation, and continuing support behind your puppy’s journey—from a family-home beginning to life together.
People behind the puppies
Georgia Dog Club brings together dog professionals, guardian families, caregivers, and veterinary guidance to support puppies and the families who welcome them.
Family care from the startThe guardian-home program places parent dogs in households where they receive daily interaction, affection, and routine care. Georgia Dog Club’s Our Story page explains that parent dogs remain owned and managed by the club, with direct program oversight.
The club describes genetic screening, DNA testing, OFA certifications, and veterinary evaluation as part of its approach to selecting parent dogs and planning pairings. Health, temperament, structure, and long-term well-being guide those decisions.

Know the written terms
The current guarantee addresses qualifying serious hereditary and congenital conditions through replacement puppy credits. It is subject to eligibility, exclusions, and stated limits; it does not reimburse veterinary bills or provide cash payments.
Prepare for life together
Before going home, puppies receive a veterinary health check, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and fecal testing, according to the club’s published breeder information. Ask the team about your puppy’s records and continuing care.
Georgia Dog Club’s pet insurance page currently features Fetch. Insurance is a separate agreement with the insurer; review the actual policy, eligibility, activation requirements, and coverage rather than assuming the health guarantee and insurance provide the same benefits.
