Meadow Grace Kennels kept rising to the top of my searches. In December 2022 we picked up our puppy, Fionn mac Cumhaill in Raphine, VA and were delighted to inroduce him to our granddaughters on Christmas Eve, before returning to the west coast and Orcas Island. Fionn is now almost 18 months old and is the best dog in the world. He is handsome and energetic, loving and adventurous. We so appreciate the great breeding he comes from and may soon bring another Meadow Grace pup into the fold. Gretchen & Paul, Orcas Island

Do not board your horse here…read more Poor pasture and forage. Hay is absolute shit, often riddled with weedy invasives that the horses won't touch--in some cases partially rotted bales are brought out to boarding horses. Pastures are flooded with buttercups in the spring, indicating acidic soil about which nothing has been done in at least two seasons. Fields are being taken over by prickly amaranth and other invasives. Run-in sheds are collapsing and in some cases dangerous. Post-Helene, fences stayed down--with wire all over the field--for well over a month. Overall conditions for horses are poor and less than safe. Poor fencing that is aged and badly in need of replacement. Very often horses are forced to be in standing water and mud. There's a reason field board is so cheap here relative to other farms with better accommodation. Farm is under resourced and the land owner is not a fair employer. Underpaid hands and poor working/living conditions. Do not board your horse here.

They frolic outside happily playing on a ranch. I heard they are soon making a little pond for the puppies to play in so you can join them and swim with them (don't quote me on that though). As a JMU student I learned that the secret to getting A's on finals was to take a chill day to pet some pups. All of their dogs are up for adoption! I would love to get one someday. The pups are popular so make sure you get on the waiting list if you want one. Also, you can just visit if you make an appointment online and donate 5 dollars (CASH) or more when you visit the ranch. **You can not visit without an appointment so call ahead first!**

My entire experience with Melody and Seeking Shalom Acres was more than I could have hoped for. I…read morehave never worked with a breeder who was so responsive, available to provide detailed answers to my many, many questions, and accommodating. I have also never worked with a breeder who seemed sincerely interested that her pups remain happy and healthy throughout their life. This is their business, but it is clearly also a labor of love--both for her pups as well as the families who adopt them. Melody was has a wealth of information to raise a dog holistically. Everything they do is professional and detailed oriented. They provide a wealth of professionally written and organized information. Seeking Shalom Acres raises her pups in the home with her husband and nine children. As a result, my puppy was already well socialized and confident, and nearly 100% potty trained. I have never experienced bringing a puppy home and after just two days was successfully going potty on her wee pads 90% of the time. It was the easiest transition/training period ever! Seeking Shalom Acres has an informative and fun Facebook and YouTube channel. Once I purchased our puppy, they provided a complete puppy manual, a puppy checklist....I have never been so prepared to bring a new puppy home. Melody also provides lifetime support which I have used extensively. Melody responds immediately and thoroughly through text or email.

He is completely healthy and is the most loving special dog I've ever had or met, and I am a veterinary technician, so I've met a lot of dogs! I love that they're holistic, and I love how much detail they put into educating each owner about nutrition and every aspect of puppy care. If you're looking for a reputable breeder and want a sweet healthy puppy, Melody will help you pick the right one for you! There really are no words to explain the wonderful experience I had with her, how much I appreciate how much time her daughter obviously Spends socializing and caring for each puppy. When I get him a friend in the near future, I will definitely be using Melody! Thank you guys SO much for matching me up with the most perfect wonderful baby I could have imagined!
