Meet the breeder

I'm Lisa H., the breeder behind Meadow Run Mini American Shepherds located in Spanaway, WA. We absolutely love this breed and strive to share this love by Breeding the best of the best. Each one of our dogs participates in AKC Sports and has eagerly earned Titles in a variety of events. Our focus on temperament, health, biddability and beauty guarantees you a wonderful lifetime adventure best friend.

Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Mishka…an MAS who I had the privilege of babysitting. I fell in love with her immediately and sadly learned of some genetic issues she had. I wanted to change and prevent issues with this breed by becoming a Breeder focused on health, temperament and breed standards.

  • What makes your program special?

    I’m a very small Licensed and Inspected Breeder. This means pups are raised/cared for according to County and States standards. Our Mini’s are raised as Pets first. No kennel or Crate living. They lounge in our clean home. Pups have ENS/ESI starting on day 1. Early desensitization, Vet care and more. My goal is a pup wired for success. These pups and their Parents are very important to us.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Lisa

Lisa 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.

Lisa 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 Temperment test all pups using Volhard at 49 days old. I spend so much time with them that it seems I knew them before the testing and Volhard just finalizes my thoughts. Sometimes Clients just “know” who their dog is. I respect and honor that unless the pup is clearly turning out to be different than their goals. In those cases we will chat a bit but ultimately it’s your decision. I just try to help you make the best choice. My goal is to breed dogs that are easy to live with. I breed for a solid off switch and Volhard 3-4. ”

    I am so happy that I found Lisa. She’s been super helpful with our beautiful boy Cliffy. I was out of the country, mourning the loss of my best friend of 16.5 years when I came across her profile and fell in love with Cliffy. Lisa was super quick and responsive with all of my questions regarding him. She kept in constant communication with me, since I was not coming back to the U.S. for a month, and letting me know all the specifics about him. The whole experience was just perfect.

    I couldn't have had a better experience than I did with Lisa! Her passion and knowledge about the breed is so apparent. As a first time owner, her help made me feel so prepared and confident going into everything. I’m so grateful for all of her guidance and for my sweet and silly little Molly girl!
