a few quick notes
Phone Calls
We’re always happy to connect by phone — we just ask that you start by submitting our puppy application or contact form first. This helps us keep everything organized and ensures we can give you our full attention when we talk. Once we receive your application, we’ll gladly set up a call to go over your questions and guide you through the next steps.
Learn More First
Not quite ready to apply? Our Frequently Asked Questions are a great place to start. They’ll walk you through everything from how we raise our puppies to what you can expect when bringing one home. Many families find their biggest questions answered there before they even apply.
What Does a Puppy Cost?
Our puppies are typically priced at $3,000. We require a $300 reservation fee to secure the puppy you’ve chosen. Until a reservation fee has been received the puppy will still be considered available to other approved families. The reservation fee is nonrefundable. When you get a puppy, the reservation fee will be applied towards the price of the puppy.
How Does Puppy Selection Work?
Over the years we’ve found that timing is an important component when bringing home a puppy. As such we’ve changed our process to first qualifying yourself as an approved home by filling out our puppy application.
Approved families will should jump on our email newsletter. When puppies are available, we email our newsletter list and let you know if they’re available. Approved families may request to reserve a puppy at that time, by placing their $300 reservation fee. Priority of selection is given on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. We’ll never assign you a puppy you’re not excited about. If none of the available puppies feel like the right fit, you can always wait until the next litter.

Updates Instead of Visits
Because our puppies are raised in our home right alongside our family, we don’t allow in-person visits before pickup. This decision is rooted in protecting the well-being of our puppies, their mothers, and our family. Puppies are born with developing immune systems, and exposure to outside germs can put them at unnecessary risk. Just as importantly, visits from unfamiliar people can be stressful for nursing moms, and stressed moms pass that stress on to their babies.
We also want our home to remain a safe, calm space for both our family and our dogs. Opening our doors to frequent visitors isn’t always the best way to ensure that. Instead, we focus on raising puppies in a peaceful, consistent environment, where moms can relax and puppies can grow strong and confident.
That said, we know how important it is for you to feel connected as your puppy grows. To keep you involved, we provide plenty of photos, videos, and updates along the way. You’ll get to see the puppies learning, playing, and developing their little personalities, so that when it’s time to bring your puppy home, you’ll already feel like you know them.

What’s Included with Your Puppy?
Every breeder does things a little differently—this is what you can expect when you bring home a puppy from Maple Hill Doodles.
Our goal is to give you a smooth, well-supported start without overcomplicating the process. With more than a decade of hands-on experience, we’ve refined how we raise our puppies and guide new families so that bringing your puppy home feels exciting—not stressful.
We’ve been in your shoes, and we know how overwhelming those first days can feel, even when you’re thrilled. That’s why we provide helpful emails and an audio puppy guide to support you through the early transition. These resources are designed to answer common questions, set realistic expectations, and help you feel confident from day one.
Our focus is getting you to the good part—where your puppy settles in, bonds with your family, and becomes a joyful, well-adjusted companion. And if questions come up along the way, you won’t be navigating it alone. We’re here to help make the transition as positive and successful as possible.
60-Month Genetic Health Warranty
We are so confident in the health and wellbeing of our dogs that I offer a 60-month health warranty. If our warranty is called in, we will replace your dog.
Vaccines as You Want Them
We don’t vaccinate our puppies prior to them leaving our home. We don’t vaccinate our breeding dogs, either. As such you are welcome to follow the protocol that meets your family’s choices.
Age-Appropriate Deworming
We deworm our puppies prior to them going home. Puppies immune systems are immature and this helps them grow and transition from our home to yours.
Puppy Blanket
The puppy blanket smells like mom and our home, this allows for a smoother transition from our home to yours.
Lifetime Support
We are always there to help you, for the life of the dog and beyond. We understand the puppy is yours, but we are a resource for you.
Ready to join the family?
The best way to get the process started is by filling out our puppy application. There are no right or wrong answers, but some puppies will be a better or worse fit for your family and lifestyle.
Delivery
Sometimes the right puppy isn’t born as close to home as we would like, but that’s where our transportation options come in!
Pick Up Here
While we don’t allow you inside of our home or facilities for biosecurity, we do allow you to park and we can bring the puppy to your car. This is free.
