We had found Meadow Run while searching for another MAS to add to our family. Struggled a bit to find a breeder that we trusted as temperament was a much more important quality to find the perfect fit for us. Many other breeders that we looked at in the area did not provide as much temperament testing or even seemed that focused on that to place their pups. We shared our story with Lisa and had great conversations with her on what kind of dog we were looking for. We had actually met up with her the first time to look at and see if a puppy from her Five Guys litter would be a good fit for us and although he was an absolute angel - we weren't sure if the timing was right so we decided to wait for an upcoming litter instead. During this entire process Lisa was so helpful, understanding and transparent.
Before we selected our actual pup from the Skittles Litter, we were able to meet the litter two times. Keeping in mind that the time frame was during the time when precautions for COVID were still quite high, it was really generous of her to work out a safe system for her family and the puppies (masks worn, meetups were outdoors, hand sanitizer was provided and visits were kept short to 30 min max, etc.) so that potential families could meet the puppies. When it came to matching us up and selecting a good fit for us, Lisa is truly the best at this. For us - it came down to two pups and Lisa provided her honest opinion on which pup she thought would match best with us and our dog. I can't tell you how comforting it was to see just how knowledgeable she is about the breed and how much consideration she put into helping us figure out who the best addition would be. She always made it clear that despite her suggestions - we were completely free to choose whichever pup that we wanted, so there was absolutely no pressure on selection. I'm happy to say that we trusted her and went with our selection of Fuzz and we could not be happier. He has been the best fit for our family and my husband and I constantly talk about how happy we are to have him added. Our other MAS (non Meadow Run) Cherry, absolutely loves being his big sis and they get along so well.
Not only were we super pleased with our experience with Meadow Run and Lisa in the selection process of getting a puppy - Lisa is also such a great resource for helping all of her Meadow Run families integrate their pups into their lives successfully. I was so pleasantly surprised at how available she and other Meadow Run families were to help out those on their Meadow Run family Facebook page. It's truly a community that aims to be a positive resource to support those who have purchased pups from Lisa.
I would choose a pup from Meadow Run and Lisa in the future in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm 100% certain if we choose to add another MAS to the family again I would without a doubt come back to Meadow Run as a first choice.
