We took, Yogi, our 9 1/2 year old Goldendoodle for his annual vet appt yesterday. He was a puppy from Molly and Noah's litter at Hilltop pups, born 8/27/13. He has been the best dog I've ever had. Couldn't ask for a better temperament. I just wanted to let you know the results from his exam and bloodwork. His vet says all his joints are in great shape, and he has a really nice low resting heart rate. She also says he has a remarkable set of lab results. Everything was perfect and in fact, impressive for an older dog, more like a dog half his age. I really just wanted to let you know how great he is doing and that we appreciate all the hard work you put into raising healthy dogs. FYI, we did get a second puppy from you when Molly and Noah were bred again. She's doing awesome also. Thanks!! read more

Archie (from Millie and Skipper) is an incredible pup and so happy I went with Hilltop Pups. Bev is amazing at what she does and I really suggest you read all the info she has for you on her website - it's all useful! He's a character with a ton of energy. Incredibly cuddly, loves humans and other animals and don't think he has a single mean bone in him. He's slept in his crate since his first night being home and has never woken me up in the night. If I had the bandwidth, I'd be getting another Hilltop Pup asap. Keep up the awesomeness Bev!! read more

I have two hilltop minigolden doodles. They are the sweetest. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a pup.

I adopted a HTP in September of 2020. It would be an understatement to say this dog completes me (yes, a bit dramatic but so incredibly true). Throughout the process Bev was available to answer any questions and was incredibly supportive to understand and connect me with the right puppy based on my lifestyle and energy. Once it was finally time to take my puppy home, I appreciated Bev's passion for her dogs even more as I could tell my dog was used to being cuddled and carried around by humans, even at just 10 weeks old. Fast forward to 2 years later and I get compliments DAILY from strangers passing by on how sweet and well-behaved my doodle is. If you're wanting a companion who will follow you everywhere and smile back at you every time you turn around, adopt from HTP! read more

We have only had our Hilltop puppy for two days, but it already feels like two months! She has been eating her food regularly & loves your food suggestions. My daughter has her on a schedule for going outside, and she has adjusted well. The first night she woke up every three hours & last night every four. She is gradually getting used to her crate. My daughter has named her Kaia. She is so smart that she already knows her name! We keep saying how smart & how well behaved she is (as well as being perfectly adorable). She really is a delight & we are head over heels in love with her! We feel so lucky & so blessed to have her in our lives. Thank you for everything you do & for all the written guidance you provide to get your pups ready for their new home. It really does make a difference. read more

We were seeking a second Goldendoodle to be a little sister to our 4 year old Goldy. We found Hilltop Pups and this aspiration was realized. sDixie, now JoJo was born at about 1 pound. She is now 12 weeks and 5 pounds. Although she has been home with us for one month, we feel like we have somewhat known since birth. This is because of the wonderful weekly video documentation shared by Bev Eckert at Hilltop. We saw JoJo and her siblings play and interact several times before I flew out from Philadelphia to bring her home. She is a very sweet puppy and by the fourth night she slept nonstop for eight hours in her crate. The challenge when getting a puppy is making sure that the seller is the breeder. And that the Breeder takes good care in raiding the pups. Puppies are poor story tellers of their experiences before they come home so There seem to be a lot of shenanigans going on ou there in the puppy business. They can only speak through their mood, temperament and behavior. I really investigated and rejected many puppy sellers who did not pass my smell test in that it seemed that the whole truth about the operation was missing. With Bev at Hilltop pups, I felt that the operation was authentic. All facts and observations remained consistent up until my pick up visit. The deposit and price were reasonable . No hanky panky. JoJo even came home chipped which I find extraordinary. Our puppy is a very sweet beauty with an even and calm temperament. We feel lucky that she has joined our family. Now we have two furry loves of our life. JoJo and our forever first Goldy. read more

Hilltop pups goes above and beyond other breeders in my opinion. The facility is clean and all the puppies and adult dogs are well taken care of. The owners live right on property and the property has a good amount of land for the dogs to run around and play. We picked up our English Goldendoodle puppy last weekend and he has been amazing. He's so calm and sweet and has been picking up so easily with his training. My vet was in awe with how he just sat so calmly and allowed her to examine him, clean his ears and eyes and give him his vaccinations without a fuss. Bev and her family at Hilltop do a great job with handling all the puppies so that when you get your dog they are calm and already well mannered for a pup that age. We are extremely happy that we got our new pup from Hilltop! If you're looking for a great breeder than look no further! read more

Our pup Jasper (Max) is the best little guy....such a good boy! He gets compliments every where we take him, such a handsome pup. We started working with a trainer when he was about 11 weeks old and he has proven to be very smart and extremely trainable! We can't imagine our life without him. Bev was wonderful and so helpful to us, letting us visit the pups many, many times before we brought our pup home. Hands down one of the best breeders of sweet goldendoodles and we feel so lucky we found her and Jasper! read more

Hi Beverly, I wanted to send you a note letting you know Bonnie is thriving! She has brought so much to my life and has been an absolute joy!! Training her has been a breeze! I'm still amazed at how quickly she learns! I had a Wheaten Terrier for 13 years prior to opening my heart to a new puppy and I'm still completely taken aback by how easily she was trained. Thank you for breeding great dogs! Megan Selvaggio Sent from my iPhone read more

My husband and I wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with Blossom, now named Millie.

Two weeks in, and our puppy could not be more wonderful! He has slept through the night after just two nights with us, he does crate time very well, and is learning basic training very quickly. House training has been easy as well -- we follow Bev's good advice and also Baxter & Bella, that Bev recommends. We have been very pleased with this breeder, and she made it very easy for us from deposit to take home day. read more

We got our puppy from hilltop in March. Our little guy is now almost 8 months old and I have to say he has the absolute best temperament. He is so easy going and loving. He adores our 8 year old son and our 4 month old baby. All he wants to do is lick and love everyone. He loves to be snuggled, is very playful, and there is not a mean bone in him! I have gotten other puppies elsewhere who had aggressive behaviors which I had to pay hundreds in trainers to correct and never felt at ease when they were around children. That is why I researched a ton before finding Bev and Hilltop and drove from New York to pick up our pup! I am so happy with the entire experience and our sweet puppy! I recommend hilltop a thousand times over to anyone searching for a beautiful, well tempered doodle! read more

I got my fur baby from Bev almost 18 months ago and she is the most amazing pup I have ever seen. She is incredibly healthy and so very smart. Bev raises her pups with purpose. She takes special attention to genetics, attitude, and above all health of the animals she so dearly loves. There are even entire Facebook groups dedicated to owners of hilltop pups and I can tell you once you have one...it's hard not to get more! I would never go anywhere else. read more

We are just about to celebrate our one year gotcha day for our Harry. We couldn't ask for a better dog. He's beautiful, smart, and loving. He's great with kids and other dogs. Today our doggie daycare informed us that they had him playing with a daschund puppy because they knew that he would be gentle. We gifted a littermate to my parents. She, too, is a great puppy. We keep toying with the idea of another dog. Naturally we will be going with Hilltop and another perfect doodle! UPDATE: Harry just spent the weekend with my 15 month old niece. This was his first encounter with anyone under 10. When she went down for a nap he kept walking into her room to check on her. He didn't jump or make noise, just walked in, looked at her, and walked out. He was very gentle around her. When playing fetch, he would walk around her and then sprint to his ball. He let her throw it and would nose it back to her. read more

I have put off writing this, and wish I could post anonymously because I know the repercussions of posting here, but I believe future owners should be aware of the risks. I completely agree with Julia's December review. The rate of hilltop pups going home with Giardia is VERY high. Our puppy had severe giardia for months. (The breeder did reimburse me for my vet bills, but it only covered a fraction of the cost of dealing with the issue - which was absolutely not easily curable). Our girl is now 9 months old and has had GI issues all 9 months of her life. We have tried everything. She also has severe separation anxiety, which we are working with a specialist to solve, and who believes it is genetic and that others in her litter likely have it. Separation anxiety is one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with. Of course, we love our dog more than anything. But we paid a lot for our girl, and the time and money and effort spent to get her healthy has been constant and overwhelming. It breaks my heart to watch others pay top dollar for dogs that I know will be sick. I wish I had been aware before I chose a breeder. I much prefer a smaller breeder with more attention and care for each dog. I wouldn't trade my dog for the world, but I cannot recommend Hilltop Pups. Quick update based on the breeders response: i am not the person who called Bev as she mentioned. I also am NOT hard pressed to find other sick pups, I've found MANY. I also have seen others post on the owner Facebook group about separation anxiety. read more

Today is our Lola's tenth birthday. She is as wonderful, loving, adorable and smart as ever. We can't imagine not having her in our family. Thank you so much for making so much happiness available for us. Best, Judy M and Mike S read more

I got my mini goldendoodle, Benny from Hilltop Pups in Jan 2017. He just had his 3rd bday and I wanted to share how great my experience has been. He is the best dog and I can't tell you how often people compliment his coat, behavior, etc. I ALWAYS refer Hilltop Pups when people ask me where to buy the best goldendoodles. read more

Our Hilltop Pups petite mini goldendoodle, Bosco, just turned 6 months old and we couldn't be happier that he part of our family. He is the sweetest, cutest, most playful and loving dog. He brings so much joy to everyone he encounters. Thanks to Bev and Hilltop Pups for breeding such wonderful, healthy dogs!! read more

The puppies are 5 months old now and are just the cutest, smartest, calmest dogs I've ever had - love them! Only warning is that they're a little too smart - learned how to operate their playpen's zippers from the inside! Invest in a few carabiners to keep them inside their pens :). Seriously, they learn fast and are such sweet personalities. We've had numerous people in our dog-friendly neighborhood comment that our pups are the best-behaved dogs they've seen. read more

If you buy a dog from this business, you'll get a healthy, clean puppy. At the end of the day, that's the goal. Outside of that, beware of attempts to communicate with the breeder. Communication is sorely lacking--especially via email. Do not expect an immediate response--and sometimes you'll get no response at all. Also, what is not emphasized is that there are many dogs on the property used for breeding. They are kept in sheltered kennels and are not abused or mistreated in any way, but they are used for the business only and cannot possibly receive all of the attention they need or crave as dogs meant to be pets. All in all, this is a clean, healthy operation. If that's all you are looking for, it's fine and will work well for you. However, if you need to have frequent communication with the breeder with questions or comments or if you would prefer your puppy to come from a household setting, this may not be the breeder for you. read more

The pups are amazing, but they all come with giardia-a parasite. Lots of her people are diehard supporters and have amazing dogs-no doubt about it. If you're looking for a loving fun excited family Dog-you'll get that here. If you want a communicative Breeder and a healthy puppy in the process, then this isn't the best. Again, adore my dog, but treating the parasites was a pain. Any person on here giving five stars still had to deal with parasites. But most people will say kind things because an amazing pup is worth it. She has a ton of dogs-take that as good or bad it means lots of options but less attention to each. Ultimately I'm so glad my dogs mine, but doodles are too expensive to settle for one that comes with worms. FYI: after I posted this, the breeder posted in her Facebook group saying "can you all please post that not all my dogs have Giardia?"-that is why you will see many extra reviews around Feb 20-25, 2018-check the dates-suspicious maybe? read more

Hilltop Pups is a breeder of quality pups. We have 2 pups that we got from them. Bev has been the most generous, kind person to deal with. You can tell from the way her faculty is operated that she has put the time and effort into making her pups the highest quality. We checked out other breeders but we decided on Hilltop Pups because of how much she knew and cared for her pups. She helped us select a dog that fit our family! read more

We are thrilled with our new fur baby Remi. She came to us in Ontario, Canada all the way from Bev and her team at Hilltop pups in Indiana. Our micro petite golden doodle has a great temperament and is very loving and smart. She is just as Bev suggested she'd be. Bev sure does know her pups. She recommended a driver who delivered Remi to us and kept us updated via texts and photos the whole drive. Bev was quick to respond to all my emails and answered my questions promptly . She was a pleasure to deal with. Once the pups are born she is really good at updating the website weekly with photos and videos of the litters. We appreciated this because being that we live so far away, everything was done thru email and videos. We were not able to visit with the dogs. I highly recommend Hilltop Pups to anyone looking for a reputable breeder of golden doodles ! read more

We have two mini goldendoodles four years apart from Hilltop Pups and love them both! When we researched goldendoodle breeders, we chose Hilltop Pups because of their high standards of care that the dogs and puppies receive. Bev was very responsive to my emails (but keep in mind she spends a lot of time with dogs and puppies too). From all my research and communication, I felt confident that we had made a good choice to get a puppy from Hilltop and when we went to pick him up, all of my beliefs were confirmed. I would highly recommend Hilltop Pups for anyone looking for a goldendoodle for their family. read more

Cooper, aka Marty, (Millie and Skipper) came home with us on January 22nd. We traveled an almost 5 hour ride from Hilltop Pups to our home and the trip was wonderful. He slept in his carrier and our grandson talked to him and watched him the whole way. On his first vet visit on January 25th he weighted 5.7 lbs. and on February 22nd he weighted in at 8.5 lbs. Cooper has been training here at home with Baxter & Bella and will start puppy kindergarten on March 8th for socialization and more training. He is a great puppy, sleeps in his carrier all night without needing to go outside for a potty break since his third day with us. Doing well with the bell, eating well, excited to train with kibble, and loves to cuddle. Sits quietly in his car seat when going on rides with us. I joined a goldendoodle group and saw a picture of Mabel, Cooper's sister on Facebook and had a conversation regarding the siblings. We plan to keep in touch as the puppies grow. We are so happy that we found Hilltop Pups and it really shows that Bev cares about her dogs and the puppies they have. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for Goldendoodles. read more

We are so grateful that we found Hilltop Pups! Bev is wonderful and made sure that we were well prepared with everything we needed before we brought our sweet puppy home. When she arrived at the airport, we took her straight to the vet, who gave her an excellent bill of health - from day one, she's been happy and healthy. Hilltop Pups really do have the most wonderful temperament and the community of other owners we've found is just incredible. I can't recommend this breeder highly enough - they really care about their dogs and it shows. Thank you, Hilltop Pups, for giving us our sweet little Penny, who we love beyond words! read more

We got our Petite Goldendoodle 12/29/17. She has been the best dog. No problems at all. Bev went through all care instructions and answered any questions prior to us leaving with our new family member. Her facilities were clean and organized. We will get our next pup from Hilltop too. read more

We got our Nala from Hilltop Pups about 2 years ago. She has been amazing, very smart, doesn't shed (Multi-Gen), exactly what we thought we were getting when I drove 4 hrs (8 hrs round trip) to get her. Couldn't have asked for a better dog. She is great with my little kid (3 at the time) and so smart. Picks up commands quickly, and easy to potty train with the bell provided by Hill Top. No issues medically at all. Amazing puppy and we are looking to add another one through Hilltop shortly. read more

Bev has been awesome to work with. Her knowledge and love of the dogs is amazing. During our visits we have met with different parent doggies and they were always clean and so loving. It's obvious that she spends a great deal of time with them by how even with new people there playing with them that they look to see that she's still there. It's easy to see that they love her as much as she loves them. We did a great deal of research before choosing to get a puppy from Hilltop. For us she was our only choice. We wanted a puppy that we knew was coming from a loving and caring home that puts in the extra work like having the parents tested and early stimulation and socializing. Bev didn't raise the bar for other breeders she sets the bar. From our interactions it's clear to see she's not another person breeding for the money, but for the love of the dogs and the breed. In fact my parents were so impressed with everything they heard me say about Bev and her dogs they had to go out and meet her and get a puppy too. I honestly just can't say enough good things about Hilltop Pups. read more
