From Our Puppy Families
We are deeply grateful for the families who have welcomed our puppies into their homes.
We consider them all extended family!
Here are a few of their stories.
~Jordan, Chicago
"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 M.E. and her family for all they have done in raising our newest family member!"

​"We 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. She 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!"​

"You've given us the most amazing blessing in this little girl! She's perfect in every way. I am blown away with how easily she picks up her training. Such a smart girl. Her recall is amazing! Leash walking is so much fun. ‘Leave it’ was a single afternoon affair. Travelling by plane is such a treat with her. Her adventures keep stacking up. This fall she spent 2 weeks in Alaska with us and my 3 nieces and nephew, then 2 weeks in AZ with 3/4 of our kids and their pups. I can't thank you enough for the amazing joy, light, and love this adorable little girl has brought to us all. Thank you for this precious gift. I absolutely LOVE her!"​

Chief (Malachite)
~Madeline, Chicago
"We are so thankful we found Whispering Aspen! We picked up Chief about 2.5 months ago and he has been the perfect addition to our family! He is the smartest pup in his training class, and the vet can't believe how calm and behaved he is. M.E. was so patient with all of our questions, and quick to respond throughout the process. It is so abundantly clear how much attention and love her and her family provide the litter. Chief came well mannered and familiar with his name! He is a healthy pup who loves exploring the world, meeting other pups and playing. We can't imagine life without him!"

"I highly recommend Whispering Aspen Homestead.
M.E. and Travis were thoughtful and kind from our first interaction to our last, so it is no surprise that our beautiful, healthy puppy is so well-behaved and social. The entire family is involved in the dog-raising process, and the puppies know a loving human hand from birth. ​M.E. and Travis gave such care and attention to our puppy, Cypress. He came to us a confident, happy little guy, and everyone falls in love with him! M.E. took the extra, huge step of getting him to us earlier than we'd expected, and we couldn't be more grateful. Cypress has better manners at 13 weeks than most adult dogs, and he's never had an accident inside. He is such a delight. We adore him! We couldn't be more pleased. If I ever get another puppy, M.E. would be my first call."​

​"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 make 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! He’s the best decision I ever made!!"​
