    Very friendly and educational communication from Laurie. She really cares for her pack and made sure we, as her new family, were prepared to bring Aggie in. Both parents of our Agatha had clear embark panels and of moderate temperaments. The pairing was carefully selected due to CEA as well. The care in the pairing selection and puppy raising truly show in Aggie's manners and eagerness to please. Laurie had plenty of update pics and videos prior to pick up and she and her husband met with me right at the airport! They even helped me with checking back in for Aggie. A+ to MCI for their treatment of the both of us btw. Aggie was just right for her in-cabin carrier but she definitely wouldn't fit now, even just 2 weeks later. Laurie continues to be communicative to address any questions I have and just to share updates on Aggie's progress and adventures! ❤️

    Laurie took all the time we needed early on in the process to answer our MANY questions, even sending many photos of parents, siblings and previous litters so we could envision the grown up version, and in doing so, got to know specifically what our needs and wants were. Because of this, she was able to match us up with the perfect pup for our family. And wouldn't you know, that happened to be the exact one we connected with as soon as we visited! We luckily live nearby and were able to visit. Their home is everything you'd love to see when buying a puppy, meaning, there's no signs of 'professional breeding'. No metal buildings or fenced pens where the 'breeding stock' live. Instead, they welcomed us into their beautiful home and escorted us into the puppy's playpen where it was very clear that they breed their pets out of a love and a passion for the process. So much time and effort was put into the care and conditioning of these puppies and we were so impressed with everything we saw. Laurie has stayed in touch, because how could she not when she loves her dogs and their puppies so much, and has been a great resource and friend to us along the way. She is so adoring of these dogs and it warms my heart to see how much she still cares - two years later. The dog she matched us with is everything we wanted and so much more. She is so intelligent and fun. Her temperament is just as it should be - friendly, loving, playful, trainable and equal parts energetic and relaxed. She has never chewed or destroyed a single thing in our home and is truly on another level compared to any other dog we've had. She's just good by nature. I can't imagine being as happy with any other breeder and will 100% be purchasing another loving companion from Morning Walk Farm again.

    We decided about 3 years ago our next dog would be one that doesn’t shed much. With that we started doing some research and came across Morning Walk Farm and saw Laurie was about to have a litter of Borderdoodles. We then went to check them out (knowing we’d pick one). Laurie was great at letting us know their personalities and which would fit well with a family of 6 and 2 older pugs at home. We found a personality match and it was the color scheme we desired. Laurie helped make the process for us smooth, but also ensured it was smooth for Valentine. After about a year, my girls were loving having Valentine so much they wanted another. I was able to hold them off for about a year but then I caved so we reached back out to Laurie. It worked out well that she had a litter coming which contained half siblings to our Valentine. I knew as soon as I saw Dani she was the one for us. Like Valentine, she came to us well taken care of and prepared for a new home. The personalities of each dog is different but they are both full of energy and a joy to have around. I’m sure the day will come again where I’m asked when our next trip to Morning Walk Farm is so we can pick out another playmate.
