Owners' stories

In their own words

Holly came to us at eight weeks already used to the vacuum, the car and our twins. She sat through her first fireworks night without lifting her head.

Robin passed his Good Citizen Gold at eighteen months, with our eight-year-old holding the lead. Rob came to watch.

When we had to move abroad for a year, Helen had Alder back for that year. She sent us a photo every Sunday.

We were first-time owners and asked a hundred questions. We never got a short answer.

Damson is our first dog. Four years on, Helen still answers my texts about her ears faster than our vet does.

After you take them home

Each litter has a get-together on its second birthday, on the green at Adlestrop if it's dry and in the village hall if it isn't. Seven of the Bird litter came in May 2026. There is also a private Facebook group for Meadowbrook owners, with about 120 members, where puppies' first holidays and fourteen-year-olds' birthdays get the same number of likes.
