M.E was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. You can tell she cares deeply about each puppy by making sure they go to the perfect home. She gave me recommendations on what things to buy my puppy to back the transition for him easier. She stayed in touch and sent me regular updates on how my puppy was doing. Using GoodDog made this process so easy from the initial connections to paying securely. I'm so beyond lucky I found M.E through GoodDog and couldn't be happier with my puppy, Harry!

+5We had an incredible experience with M.E. and her family and cannot recommend them enough! From the start, she was incredibly responsive, caring, knowledgeable and thoughtful about building a good foundation for the puppies. M.E. and her family truly treated the puppies as part of their family. It was clear to us that this wasn’t just a job for them but a labor of love. Her sons were very involved, going above and beyond to ensure the puppies were raised in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Our puppy is a testament to the care and dedication M.E. and her family put into raising their dogs. Our puppy is incredibly well-tempered, super smart, eager to please, and a joy to train. She’s picked up potty training quickly thanks to the excellent foundation M.E. provided. She’s also in perfect health—our vet gave her a clean bill of health, including parasite-free fecal tests, which is something I know isn’t always the case with puppies from breeders. Our puppy has already grown so much and continues to amaze us every day. I’ve even tried convincing friends to consider adopting one of her siblings because she’s everything and more than we could have hoped for. M.E. is not only kind and responsive but also deeply invested in the well-being of her puppies, and it shows in every aspect of her work. If you’re considering getting a puppy, get it from her—you won’t regret it!

My entire experience with M.E, at Whispering Aspen Honestead was amazing! My first inquiry through picking up my puppy was smooth and made me feel really comfortable. M.E. sent several video and photo updates before I picked her up. I would definitely work with M.E. again.

We hit the jackpot of breeders when we got our puppy from M.E. and her family. When she says her puppies are “hand-raised”, she means it in every sense of the word. From deep education about the nutritional needs of growing puppies, to appropriate neurological stimulation for well-adjusted dogs, M.E. has it all and does it all. She was highly responsive to all of my questions, and knows her puppies better than most people know their children. It was evident from our first conversation that we found something special with M.E. and her family. Her sons even went out of their way to find playlists of “city sounds” to play to our puppy so that she would be used to the car alarms and sirens commonly heard on our street when we brought her home. Our puppy came to us at 8-weeks knowing how to sit to say please, with a positive relationship to her crate, and going potty outside far more than any accidents. We are so grateful to ME and her family for all they have done in raising our newest family member!
