I'm Amber J., the breeder behind Mountain Top Hot Tailz located in Taylorsville, NC. Our dogs are more than pets—they are cherished family members. From the moment our puppies are born, they are nurtured, socialized, and loved every single day until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours.
Each of our pups has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives, and we are committed to sharing that same joy with others. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies who will become treasured companions in their forever homes. We take pride in going above and beyond for our families. Every puppy comes with a one-year health guarantee, is vet-checked, up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, and goes home with starter food and a special gift bag to help with their transition. To make the process even more personal, we welcome visits, FaceTime calls, and videos so you can watch your puppy grow and feel confident about your new family member. For families farther away, we are happy to assist with a trusted flight nanny service to safely deliver your puppy right to.

Amber was responsive and kind. The day we brought Wally home (formerly Pete) was the best day ever! He hasn't had any accidents and all he wants to do is cuddle. He's the sweetest boy! Thank you Amber for everything!

Amber was really great to work with. She sure does love her dogs. I had a dog in hospice and she was nice enough to o wait with the delivery of my Morkie Taz until my other poor baby passed. It was a great experience with Amber and Gooddog.com. I had a puppy nanny fly Taz to me. He is a really great puppy. I am very happy with this experience.

Amber was so easy to work with. She answered all our questions - even after we brought Oreo home. Oreo is even more spoiled now than he was before! He is getting along with his new puppy brother and has stolen everyone's heart.

Amber was very good about communicating and answering our questions. We were a little disappointed we couldn’t come to her place to meet our Yorkie’s family but a 4-wheel drive was required and we only found out about it the day of the meet or the day before. Also, it was advertised that our pup was house trained but she really wasn’t. No biggie. All in all, it was a good experience.
