“If your application is approved, we will contact you by email and text”

How did you hear about us?

If you're a candidate for approval, we'll contact you within a week to follow up. After that, we may schedule a phone interview. Because of the many applications we receive, we regret that we cannot personally reply to each one.

I understand we will only be contacted if our application is approved.

I have read and understand the Maple Hill Doodles approval process. I understand my application may not be approved. Further, I understand that, for legal concerns, Maple Hill Doodles will not disclose any reason an application is declined.

I understand that Maple Hill Doodles is a natural rearing, holistic breeder and will only approve families who are committed to the same standards.

Please let us know why you want a puppy from Maple Hill Doodles specifically? Please be detailed.

Are you applying for a current litter or future litter?

If you want a VERY specific coat type, color, and size , we may not be the right breeder for you. We give preference to families whose primary interest is a well-bred and well-raised puppy.

SPAY/NEUTER REQUIREMENT.
• I understand that this puppy is not to be bred and is required to be spayed/neutered (unless stated in the puppy agreement I sign), and I am subject to a significant fine and other damages as stated in the contract if not spayed/neutered and/or bred.
• I understand that this puppy may have had an ovary sparing spay or vasectomy, which can be safely performed at a much younger age than conventional spay/neuter surgeries.
• I understand these requirements are in the purchase contract for the puppy.

Yes, I agree to the spay/neuter and no-breeding condition of the contract.

No, I do not agree to the spay/neuter and no-breeding condition of the contract.

In order to prevent our puppies from ending up in puppy mills, your puppy may have had an ovary sparing spay or vasectomy. Do you have any objection to this possibility? Your puppy will still have necessary hormones for proper growth but will not be able to reproduce.

Please read our FAQs page for answers to most common questions. Are there any questions not included that you felt would have been helpful? If you haven't yet read our FAQs, please go back and do that before proceeding with your application.

PUPPY PLANS: My puppy is intended to be (select all that apply):
A pet and a companion

A Service Dog or Assistance Dog candidate (provides specific tasks for one individual)

Emotional Support/PTSD/Anxiety Dog candidate (I have a referral from, or am under the care of, a health professional for this)

A Therapy Dog candidate (provides comfort in facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes, for a variety of individuals)

Puppies are babies and no matter how well-raised or trained should be expected to cry, bark, chew and have accidents, often at very inconvenient times and places. Will this be a problem for your family?

Many puppies can have excitement urination, especially while your puppy is young (this is not the same as submissive urination). How do you plan to handle this?

Do you feel comfortable and able to handle puppy biting behavior? This may be excessive biting of hands, and/or biting children, and can last for months. Do you understand the difference between normal puppy biting and true aggression?

TRAINING: We encourage our clients to hire an in home, aversive-free trainer. This is especially important for families and first time pet owners. Is this something you’re willing to do?

Do you have current pets? What breed and are they spayed/neutered? Do they live inside or outside?

Have you had to rehome any pets in the past? What were the circumstances?

Do you own or rent your home?

House
Apartment
Condo

Is your yard fenced? Please tell us the kind of fencing you have.

Do you work outside your home? If yes, how many hours each day?

What is the max amount of time the puppy would be home alone during the day?

Please list ages of children that live in the home.

Are all members of the household in agreement over getting a new puppy?

Who will be the primary caretaker?

Is there anyone in the home with pet allergies? Our puppies have historically been good for families with allergies, however this is not a guarantee as some people have more severe allergies than others.

Does your budget allow for vet care in the event of an emergency (vet bills can reach into the thousands)?

Doodles require regular grooming and also frequent brushing. Is that something you’re able to handle? Doodles are not a low maintenance breed.

If you can’t take your dog on vacation, are you willing to find an in home sitter or family/friends that can keep him/her?

What flea and tick prevention do you plan to use? Are you open to using less harmful, more natural flea and tick prevention?

As holistic breeders we are looking for families open to immunity through natural exposure or a minimal vaccine protocol. Is this something that aligns with your views?

Puppies can be very destructive, some of which may be harmful to them (electronic cords, etc). Are you willing to puppy proof your home and yard before bringing a puppy home?

Are you committed to a dog for 13-15 years, even if they grow bigger or smaller than you hoped, or are not what you had imagined your new family member to be?

Are you a current breeder, bred previously or plan to breed in the future?

Once a puppy is reserved, updates will be posted weekly on Facebook. Do you have a Facebook account to view the updates?
