Top Notch Paws

At Top Notch Paws, breeding isn’t just about producing puppies—it’s about raising well-socialized, healthy companions that bring joy to families for a lifetime. Our journey as breeders has been deeply rooted in our love for dogs and our commitment to responsible breeding practices. We specialize in Mini Poodles and Poodle mixes such as Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, Shih-Poos, Cockapoos, Cavapoos, and Havapoos, carefully selecting each pairing to ensure outstanding temperament, health, and structure. From the moment our puppies are born, they are raised in a loving home environment, not in kennels. We prioritize early socialization, exposure to household noises, and interaction with people and other pets to ensure they grow into confident, well-adjusted companions. Our breeding dogs are cherished family members, and we take great care to provide them with a high-quality diet, regular vet check-ups, and plenty of love and attention. Health and Genetic Testing One of the cornerstones of our breeding program is health testing. Each of our parent dogs undergoes thorough genetic screening to rule out hereditary conditions common to their breed. We also conduct OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) testing for hips, elbows, heart, and patellas to ensure structural soundness. Our health guarantee reflects our confidence in the health of our puppies, covering all life-threatening genetic disorders. Early Socialization & Training Socialization starts from birth. We follow Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) protocols, exposing our puppies to various textures, sounds, and experiences to help them develop into adaptable, confident dogs. By the time our puppies go home, they are well-acquainted with basic handling, litter training, and crate training, making the transition easier for their new families. Matching Puppies with Families Choosing the right puppy is a big decision, and we work closely with each family to ensure a perfect match. Our puppy application and interview process helps us understand what families are looking for in a companion—whether it’s a therapy dog, a service prospect, or a loving pet. We take the time to assess temperament and energy levels to place each puppy in a home that suits their needs. Lifelong Support & Rehoming Commitment Our responsibility doesn’t end when our puppies go home. We stay connected with our puppy families, offering lifetime support and guidance for training, nutrition, and healthcare. If at any point a family can no longer care for their puppy, we require that the puppy be returned to us to ensure it is placed in a suitable new home. Why Choose Us? At Top Notch Paws, we spare no expense in raising happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies. Our breeding program is built on ethics, transparency, and a passion for bettering the breed. We are dedicated to continuing education, collaborating with other responsible breeders, and always improving our methods to produce the best puppies possible. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly cares about their dogs and the families they go to, Top Notch Paws is here to help you find your perfect companion.
