Your puppy will come with vet records, contract, and blanket that smells like mom to make the transition easier.

We do not offer payment plans. Payment in full is due at the time of pick up. If a puppy is traveling with a flight nanny, payment will be due the day before the scheduled flight.

Reservation fees are NOT refundable. The fee you pay to reserve a puppy is for a service that was provided and also your guarantee to follow through with a purchase.

In the application it states no refund for any reason, as well as in the contract. We don’t refund either the reservation fee or any part of the purchase price. Our vetting process is very thorough. Once a family is approved, we expect them to be committed throughout the life of the dog. Puppies are a ton of work, that’s true, a lot like a new baby human. Be very sure you and your entire family want to take on the responsibility for your new furry family member, before you commit to adopting a puppy from Maple Hill Doodles. 

All puppies remain available to other approved families until they have a reservation to hold them. If you have already been approved, and have your heart set on a certain puppy, a reservation fee payment is the only way to hold him/her.

We are not able to accommodate visits from the general public at this time.

Burton, Ohio, 44021

Absolutely! We offer a few different options for pickup of your new puppy. By plane, we can recommend an in cabin flight nanny that will meet you at your nearest airport. Door to door delivery if you’re located within 200 miles of Burton, Ohio. We can also meet (free of charge) up to 60 minutes from zip code 44021. 

The best way to get ahold of me is to start through our puppy application, this inputs your information into my software and helps me keep track of everything. 

We will call and talk with all of our approved families. Talking on the phone is the very next step after an approved application, that way we can answer your questions and see if we are a good fit for one another. 

We post weekly (more if we have time) updates on our social media pages.

The puppy must be at least eight weeks old, and we cannot make exceptions to this. It is our rule and state law.

For a few reasons, we have stopped doing an official waiting list. Soon after the puppies are born (usually 7 to 10 days), we will have photos of each individual puppy posted on our website/social media. At that point, we will open the reservation list to hold the puppy of your choice. Filling out an application before the puppies are born does make the process more efficient, however!

We are pleased to offer a $100 discount for the following: Military (active duty or veterans), fire fighters, and law enforcement, only. Please note these discounts apply to the person purchasing the puppy, and whose name will be on the paperwork as the owner.

Yes, we are able to hold the puppy for up to 2 days, free of charge. After that, we can hold them at $50 a day, maximum of 1 week, if our schedule allows. Please keep in mind that this is important bonding time with the new owner and it may be better to hold off for the next litter if timing isn’t right.

Unfortunately, there are no reputable kennel registries that will register cross breeds at this time. We look forward to participating, in the future, if that changes!

There is no such thing as a ‘non-shedding’ dog. But there are breeds (or breed mixes) that are lower shedding. Poodle crossbreeds are generally considered lower shedding than a double coated breed. We also are not able to accurately predict or guarantee how much your new puppy may end up shedding.

Yes! It’s important for puppies to be part of family life from day one, as they are companion dogs and will be family pets when they leave us. Not only are our puppies raised in home, but our parents dogs are also living their best life with us or their guardian families. We don’t believe kennels or outbuildings have any place in our breeding program.

We are asked this question all the time. The answer is no, they are not the same breed, but they are similar.

The Cavapoo is a mix of Poodle and Cavalier King Charles spaniel, percentages vary.

A CavaDoodle, not to be confused with Cavoodle or Cavapoodle, is a blend of 3 breeds. Mainly Poodle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, with a bit of Labrador Retriever. We keep the percentage of Lab low on the mix so as not to increase the size too much or increased risk of shedding.

The goal of this breed mix was to create a more family friendly, medium size dog, particularly for families with younger children where a smaller Cavapoo might not be the best fit.

Size estimates are just that — an educated guess, based on the sizes of the parents. The genes contributed by the grandparents on both sides also come into play. We do our best to arrive at a size range, but it’s not a guarantee. Please realize that your puppy may grow to be larger or smaller than expected. It’s a heredity thing!

All of our puppies are double-furnished. The furnishing gene is what gives dogs the “fluffy doodle look,” similar to a teddy bear. This gene is more impactful on coat when the puppy receives two copies of this gene (one from each parent), all of our puppies will inherit these duplicate furnishings. 

A doubly-furnished dog is the most hypoallergenic dog coat that can be produced. It has the lowest shedding as well as being the least triggering of allergies. 

Our dogs have gone to many homes with dog-allergies and yet they are able to live with them without allergic reactions.

In all our years of experience we’ve only had two families who found they were mildly sensitive to our dogs’ coats. 

Most of our puppies will be ‘multigenerational’, meaning there is no filial label (F1, F2, etc) but we occasionally have an F1B litter for the Cavapoos. We will never have F1, due to the inconsistency in coat traits, for shedding and allergy friendliness.

Absolutely! Our parent dogs are certified with the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and genetically health tested as well. While we understand this will not all eliminate risks, we view these tests an important tool to reduce those chances. 

The jury is still out on the long term safety of microchips. As with any foreign object inserted into the body, there is a possibility of adverse reactions. Because of the unknown risk, we have decided to not microchip our puppies at this time. We will continue to research and reevaluate this decision if new studies show there are no long term health effects.

We have a few we like but any supplier that sells prey model raw feeding diets and no 3-D or 4-D meats is fine.
