Getting a puppy from Cathy

Cathy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Cathy partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We take great care in placing each puppy with the right family. Puppies are matched once pups have had their well check at our veterinarian’s office and received their first vaccination. We then set up puppy pick in person or by FaceTime. Pick is in order of deposit. First deposit holder picks first & so on. Your deposit holds your spot to pick not a specific pup. ”

Puppy prices include a $200 non-refundable deposit. The remaining $2,100 - $2,300 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“This price includes the puppy, go home box, veterinarian exam & initial vaccines, 2 year health guarantee and lifetime breeder support. Deposit is $200-this goes toward total purchase price of puppy.”

Great level

Happy Top Doodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Assorted Doodle Crosses.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Winston Was the Perfect Addition to Our Family! ❤️🐾 One night, while working the night shift at the hospital, I checked my home camera and noticed my Great Dane, Olive, standing by the door looking so sad and lonely. It absolutely broke my heart! Right then, I decided Olive needed a companion, and I immediately started searching for another dog. That’s when I came across Happy Top Doodles and found Winston! He was the cutest little puppy, and I instantly fell in love. I emailed Cathy, and she responded almost immediately. I put down a deposit, went to meet Winston that weekend, and ended up bringing him home! My entire experience with Happy Top Doodles was wonderful! Cathy made the process so easy and stress-free. They were incredibly thorough, providing helpful checklists, handouts, and all the information I needed to feel prepared. I especially appreciated their health guarantee, which gave me additional peace of mind. One of the sweetest parts of the experience was knowing that purchasing Winston also helped one of their children get braces. That made the whole experience even more special! ❤️ And Winston? He is everything I could have hoped for and so much more! I lovingly call him my Velcro dog because he follows me absolutely everywhere! He is incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, has the sweetest temperament, and is also a wonderful little guard dog. He loves playing fetch, going on walks, and joining me on adventures. Best of all, he and Olive have become the very best of friends, which was exactly what I had hoped for when I started this journey. Winston has brought so much love, laughter, and happiness into our home. I truly couldn’t have chosen a better dog. He’s not just a pet; he’s my baby boy, and I absolutely adore him! I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Happy Top Doodles and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, well-adjusted puppy. Thank you, Cathy, for bringing Winston into our lives! ❤️🐶

    I will first start by saying I can’t recommend Cathy and Kirk enough!!! We have not 1, but 2 dogs from them and if I ever get another it will be from them as well. I have referred many friends to them. We previously had a really bad experience with a previous breeder and I did so much research after that experience and Happy Top Doodles checked every box! We live 2 hours one way and it is worth every bit of driving through Atlanta traffic!! We have Briggs who is a goldendoodle and he was our first. We got to pick him out from the litter and every step for that process was hand held and was amazing. Then I wanted a girl! I saw they had a program for guardianship. This was a perfect option for us! There is certain criteria that has to be met and we talked with Cathy or confirm we met those and it has been great. With this program we got our Georgia. She is a mini Bernedoodle. She has been the perfect addition to our family.

    Cathy was wonderful, fast responses to our many questions. I received picture updates. We drove over two hours to pick up our puppy. What a surprise when we also received a going home basket with more than what we expected. Our mini bernedoodle is happy, healthy, and full of spunk. She makes us smile every day.

    Hi Cathy! Tigger is doing great! It’s been an adventure for us as first time dog owners! He is now fully vaccinated so we are now able to take him to dog parks. He does puppy classes twice a week which he thoroughly enjoys. I know tigger’s dad’s weight, but how much does Winnie weigh? I get asked a lot, and would like to know so we get an idea about how big he may get

    Pepa is doing great. We are so happy with her. She has grown so much and is so smart. She is so much fun and we love her so much. She is the cutest little thing ever. She learns so fast. Here are a few pics but just wanted you to know we are very happy with our Pepa.

    GM Cathy, just a note to say that Livy (Bernie) has adjusted well, she’s become a member of the family in a short time and has also integrated well with our other pets! Thank you for working with us! It was great experience through Good Dog!
