How Do I Adopt A DM Hilltop Pup?

All new litters will be offered to our breeders and pet families on our waiting list first. Any puppies remaining after going through our list will then be offered for sale to the public.
Our waiting list goes in the order of the date the application was approved and reservation fee was received. We require a non-refundable fee of $500 to be placed on a specific breeds waiting list. This is to secure your spot in the line up for a puppy from an upcoimg litter. You may transfer your reservation up to one (1) time, to another upcoming litter  of the same breed with availability, before forfeiting your reservation fee.  If the litter does not produce enough pups to fill your spot, we will transfer your reservation fee to the next litter of the same breed, at that litters next available spot, at no penalty to you. Your reservation fee cannot be transferred to any other person, under any circumstances.

Once the puppies are born, we will reach out to each family in order of the date the fee was placed with litter count and gender.  At this time, we require you to pick the gender of your choice. Gender can NOT be changed once you’ve made your decision. Your fee will be applied towards the total purchase price of your puppy.  If the gender isn’t received within 24 hours, your name will be moved to the end of our list.

 

I will provide you with a puppy pick up day /delivery day (always during a weekend), within the first week of their birth. There is a $50/night boarding/training fee per day, after the pick up day.  Being a breeder is very time consuming and we like to keep our schedules as close to a “normal” lifestyle for our children, especially during the weekends.

 

Typically, between two and three weeks of age, puppies open their eyes for the first time. The first real photos and videos will begin at this time. I aim to post photos and/or videos weekly thereafter on our Facebook page. Families anxiously get excited to select their puppy, but often wonder when it starts or how the process works. We wait until the puppies are between 5 and 6 weeks of age to have our “Puppy Selection Day.” This is a good time because we can start to see glimpses of temperament. Puppy Selection Day is scheduled shortly after birth and will always be on a weekend. We will have 20 minute time slots available. Families will choose whether they’d prefer Facetime/video chat or select their pup by us sending you private pics/videos. At that time you will be able to see all the pups together and see how they interact with us and our children. I will help you choose the pup the best fits your lifestyle. Before receiving their first set of vaccinations, their immune systems are not yet built up and are susceptible to many illnesses, including the parvovirus that could potentially kill the entire litter. We try to be as cautious as possible with our unvaccinated pups, as well as the safety of our family and dogs, which does not allow home visits. 

​

The remaining balance of your puppy must be paid in cash and is due at 8 weeks old, when you receive your puppy. If puppy is being transported, the remaining balance is due no later than 48 prior to transport and can be paid by Good Dog, Venmo or Cashapp.  Final balance will need to be completed before puppy can leave for transport. 

 

Reservation Fees can be made, after an approved application and once reservation form is completed. Click the link or scan the QR code of either Venmo or Cashapp below.
