What our customers have to say about us

Our perfect girl, Clover ☘︎

We recently had the most wonderful experience adopting our puppy, Clover (previously Apricot), with the help of Ivan and his lovely family. From start to finish, everything was perfect. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities and the care & love given to the puppies. Clovers personality is absolutely incredible - she’s loving, playful, and so curious!! She brings so much joy and laughter to our home, and although we've only had her a few weeks, we really can’t imagine life without her. She’s adjusted beautifully and gets along so well with our 7 year old pup, Lola. Watching them bond has been so heartwarming. We are so grateful for this experience and highly recommend Ivan & Stony Meadows to anyone looking for a new special family member. Thank you for helping us find Clover - she’s everything we hoped for and more ♥︎♥︎♥︎

The Sweetest Cavapoo

We had an incredible experience with Ivan. He maintained Excellent communication with me throughout the entire adoption process. The kennel building was very neat, clean and QUIET. No loud barking from any of the dogs. I fell in love with "Kelly" now named Winnie. She received a clean bill of heath from our vet. She adapted to her new home very well. She is very sociable with people. Not a barker. Her microchip was confirmed at the vet and Ivan sent me the links to add all of our information to the microchip and registration. The K9Masterclass videos have been very informative. I even received communication from Ivan about 10 days after we adopted her to see how she is doing overall. Ivan was very thorough with any questions I had. Very pleased with the entire process

Pretty Ruby

Great breeder experience and we absolutely love our Ruby. She's so kind and gentle and just wants to love and be loved.

We found our perfect lil puppy!

We drove from Brooklyn and were welcomed warmly upon arrival. The facility where the puppies were housed was peaceful, clean, and looked after with love. We were intent on a particular puppy but Ivan was very accommodating in showing us other options. We ended up with a different dog (mini Golden) and have been enjoying our journey every since. We have found the puppy to have a trusting demeanor which speaks volumes to her first few months on the farm.

Charlie Zaine (formerly Zane)

I drove all the way from Naples Florida to Pennsylvania to get our new puppy. Ivan was great to work with both by phone and in person. The puppies at the Kenall were happy and well cared for. As soon as I saw the six-month-old Zane, I fell in love. He had been our choice from the website. When I saw him, I knew he was the one! He is a wonderful traveler. On our way back, Zaine (that's how I spell his name) and I stayed in four hotels. He's a great traveler. Everyone who saw this puppy couldn't help but smile. When we got home, it was love at first sight for my wife. She renamed him Charlie. So, now we call him Charlie Zaine. He is very social and loves company. Our Thanksgiving dinner with family was a huge hit, especially with our new family member. He loves to play and is super fast when chasing and retrieving a ball. Our Vet confirmed he was in good health, and ready to live a long life with us.

Lucy first Birthday

Lucy is a great pup she is so sweet

Remi (Vernon)

We adopted Remington (originally Vernon) at four months. He's now ten months and it's hard to remember what it was like before he joined our family. The adoption process was easy and quick. Ivan and the team at Stony Meadows were very communitive and accommodating (I flew in from Texas to get Remi). Once we had him, Remi fit right into our family from day one and has been such a joy ever since. I've had many different breeds throughout the years and I believe this golden/cav mix is just about perfect for a family with kids and other dogs. He has plenty of energy to play with kids and other dogs but will calm down when they're at school and just hang with me sleepily in my home office. We couldn't be any happier!!

Aviana (formerly Megan)

We couldn’t be happier with our mini golden retriever puppy! From the moment we brought her home, it was clear that she had been well cared for and socialized. She’s incredibly gentle and snuggly, the perfect companion for our family. The fact that she was already crate-trained and well on her way to being housebroken was a huge bonus—it made the transition so much smoother. We were also very pleased with the cargo flight option. Ivan made the process stress-free, and our puppy arrived healthy, calm, and happy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-loved and well-prepared puppy!

Great breeder to work with!!

We adopted a mini golden and he is incredible. Start to finish, Ivan was great to work with and we would highly recommend!!

Lacey

Lacey picked us out on July27.2024! Yes, we kept the name she was given as it fits her perfectly! Lacey is the perfect companion! She is almost potty trained, has learned leash walking, basic sit, stay so far! Above all she is a charmer! Loves people and other dogs, even has a play date every Friday with a yellow lab! She puts a smile on everyone's face with her wagging tail that includes her whole little body! Thank-you Ivan and family for Lacey!

Thank You Stony Meadows!

Thank you Stony Meadows for our wonderful Mini Golden Retriever puppy who turned one year old recently. He is vibrant, loving and entertaining. He loves chasing balls, leaves, and butterflies. Most of all he loves his eight year old fur pal. Thank you Ivan for all your assistance and gracious service.

Couldn't Be Happier!

Thank you to Ivan and Stony Meadows! After a year of searching for the perfect dog, we brought our precious little girl, Callie, formally Rena, home in May. From the very beginning, Ivan was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. He was always available to answer our questions and provided regular updates as we waited for our puppy to be ready. Ivan and his family genuinely care about their dogs. The environment where the puppies are raised is clean, loving, and full of attention, which is evident in how well-socialized and healthy our puppy is. I highly recommend Ivan to anyone looking for a responsible and dedicated breeder. Our puppy is everything we hoped for and more! Thank you, Ivan, for bringing so much joy into our lives!

Mini poodle puppy

We've became the parents of adorable mini poodle baby girl Passion last January. She is a lovely one, energetic and playful. Special thanks to Ivan for professional and organized event to make it available. Highly recommend this breeder! Thank you, Ivan, for the beautiful experience.

Willow Bean formerly “Violet” is the Best!

Thank you Stoney Meadows and Ivan! It was a wonderful experience. Willow was one of the last of a Nov. 2023 litter, we took her home at 12 weeks and she is just a joy. Willow loves people and other dogs (Especially if she meets a golden retriever). She loves to chase balls, play w her toys and snuggle with you any chance she can. Thank you again Ivan.

Great Dog and Great Breeder

We researched dog breeds and breeders pretty extensively and was led to Ivan and his pups. We purchased a female mini golden April 24 and she has been a great puppy, healthy and happy. We chose to do business with Ivan because of his Christian values and we hope to lead more his way to bless him!

Best Puppy Ever

We picked up Pretzel (formerly Reagan) a little over a week ago. She is an absolute darling. So smart. Healthy. Sweet as can be. A total snuggle bug but loves to play with my college age kids also. Not afraid of my cat or neighbors dogs. She is sociable and already potty trained at 14 weeks. Our exchanges with Ivan were prompt and professional. There were no surprises. We are so happy with our little angel.

Lucy

This was my first time using a breeder and I was so happy I found Stony Meadows! Ivan was wonderful, answering all my questions, very responsive and I was able to come pick out my new bff at 6 weeks before taking her home at 8 weeks. Lucy was very socialized (I thank his childeren for that) before I got her and LOVES everyone! She is so sweet and smart!. I taught her all the basic commands by 12 weeks! I can't wait for new advertures with my happy and healthy Lucy girl!

Sundae (formerly known as Ava)

On July 22, 2023 my mom and I went to Ivan’s home to go see his 2 apricot colored mini poodles. He had all the health records for both puppies. After I chose Sundae, Ivan provided some food, a toy, and a blanket. Before traveling to his home, I expressed interest in his poodles. He asked me what I was looking for in a puppy. I told him a puppy that would not further bother my family Allergies. He told me a poodle would be a better choice. Ivan was very nice and pleasant to deal with throughout the process. He made my first time puppy adoption easy and enjoyable. Also, his kids were very gentle handing the puppies. Thank you Ivan and family for making my experience special. This beautiful puppy has made a huge difference in my life in the best way possible! I cannot imagine my life without her!! Recently we celebrated Sundae 1st Birthday in April.

Buddy (formerly Erik) is the sweetest best pup ever!

From beginning to end the process was absolutely wonderful with Ivan and his family. We drove to his farm and we were able to pick our pup. Buddy is an absolute joy to have as our family pet. He’s loving playful super intelligent so easy to train (had him trained to ring bell to go outside to potty a month into having him) and absolutely adorable!! Thank you Ivan and family for our sweet pup!

Thank you!

Our little dog Cookie is such a blessing,! She is such a spunky, happy dog. We take her everywhere we go and she is such a showstopper. People can’t get over how cute and lovable she is. Ivan, thank you so much.! it was a pleasure working with you. Your service was exceptional! My daughter, and I highly recommend your kennel to everyone! You made the process so easy. You and your family should be proud of all that you do! Your kindness will always be remembered!

Absolutely wonderful!!

We got our sweet Duncan (formerly Vince) on 3/9/24. We were amazed at the state-of-the-art facility as well as Ivan. His attention to detail is wonderfull with of all of the puppy documents. His puppies are well socialized, healthy, and, happy. He and his children were helpful, very patient and kind. It was extremely difficult to choose one puppy! Our pup was tested negative for any parasites, he's smart, and lovable. We searched for a mini golden for months and kept coming back to Ivan. Highly recommend!!

Ruby (formerly Honeysuckle)

The best experience. We were looking for the prefect Mini Golden. Drive was over 5 hours there, 5 hours back. We would double that to get our Ruby. Ivan is so professional and kind. Highly recommend and no scam here. Love 💕

Stetson - the bestest mini golden

We are so happy with our adorable little mini golden named Stetson (formerly Spencer). He is exactly what we were looking for, sooo cute, happy, and a great personality. We can tell he was raised in a great environment until he made his way to us at 9 weeks. Ivan made the adoption process very easy while answering all questions quickly and providing all of the needed documentation. The entire process took under a week, including having Stetson shipped to Georgia, which we were very nervous about. But everything went as smoothly as possible, and Stetson is now a part of the family. Thanks Ivan!

The Sweetest Cavapoo

We couldn’t be happier with our adorable Cavapoo. He has the sweetest personality. Fozzy loves his humans and his fur brother. Had his puppy checkup at the vet today and he is in excellent health. Ivan was a pleasure to do business with. He was accommodating to set up a visit and very informative about the puppies available. Ivan’s puppies are happy and healthy, not to mention adorable!

Excellent Experience and Cute, Healthy Puppies

We had a really good experience with Ivan the owner of Stony Meadows dog breeder. Our little Cavapoo, Andy, is healthy, well-cared for and adorable. We're very pleased. He had all the proper vaccinations and documentation and Stony Meadows is a licensed, clean facility. Ivan was 100% responsive and forthright; no pressure to adopt and the process was smooth and professionally handled. We highly recommend him.

Above and Beyond!

As a pet photographer I work with numerous owners and breeders, and I can honestly say Ivan is one of the best! I am impressed with the level of care and attention he and his family provide to their puppies and adult dogs. It is clear that he raises happy healthy dogs! His puppies are always clean and fresh and love attention. Ivan is very knowledgeable about the breeds he raises and his family enjoys spending time training and playing with their puppies to prepare them for their new homes. Stony Meadows is an amazing breeder who goes above and beyond to give their puppies the best possible start! If you are looking for a reputable breeder who goes the extra mile with his program you need to contact Ivan today!

Cutest & Sweetest Puppy EVER

We had about a 2 week research process before we came across Stony Meadows LLC. Once I submitted an inquiry on a dog, it took about 24 hours to hear back and from then on it was such a smooth process. They were transparent with health concerns on certain puppies and gave green lights on the others which was so important to me. We got our puppy yesterday and she is the sweetest little girl I have ever met.

Perfection

I just got my new puppy yesterday. Ivan arranged to have her sent to me all the way in California. Nervous to get a puppy over the internet without meeting her was something Ivan put to ease. He was very honest about the health and personality of the dogs and listened to what it is I was looking for in a new puppy. I decided Monday and got her on a Thursday. She is absolute perfection.

Wonderful experience and a fantastic pup!

Could not be more pleased with my experience with Stony Meadows. I traveled a long way so I was very pleased to have transparency and professionalism over the phone prior to my trip. Ivan is incredibly professional and personable, the puppies were healthy and happy and we have been so pleased after getting our beautiful puppy home. Thank you Stony Meadows! We have already begun recommending you to others!

Rusty

We have been wanting a puppy for a while and I found this website and It seemed very reliable. The communication with Ivan was great. He is very helpful with Vet records/vaccines and pictures when requested. He made the process very easy and provides us with a lot of helpful information, toys, and pet supplies. Rusty was a Christmas surprise for my wife and she absolutely loved him. Rusty seemed shy at first but warmed up to people quickly and learns quickly. He is very friendly with cats and dogs too. I would definitely recommend Stony Meadows to anyone looking for a puppy.

Mo Mo is the sunshine of our family

Mo Mo (formerly Sally) has been with us since Feb, and she just turned 1 year old. She is so active and lovely and she brings a lot of joy and "trouble" to our family but in a good way. We love to see her when we get home, she would come and hug everyone.. and she loves to go out with us and have long road trips with us. We brought her to NYC several times and many times to the city of Boston as well. She loves to walk around a big city and play with other dogs. She is a wonderful family dog.

Mojo The Magnificent Pup

We absolutely, hit the puppy "jackpot" with this excellent little guy. Today, we celebrate Mojo's one-month, homecoming and his 3 month birthday. 🎂 We could not imagine life, without our "Mojo". Not only is he the most attractive dog we've ever seen, but also has the most perfect personality we could have dreamed of. He loves and charms everyone he meets, is an obedient pup--greatly willing to please us. Mojo has become part of our entire neighborhood community. All are amazed that he is a miniature golden retriever and say "they never heard of that before". He has the full personality of a golden retriever, in a small, perfect, apartment size. Everyone wants his picture to take home to families! Cars stop all the time and roll down their windows to meet him. Mojo learned crate-potty training within about 10 days of coming home. Almost immediately, he started sleeping 12 quiet, straight hours through the night and keeps his crate perfectly clean until his 8 am walk. He's learned many voice commands, STUNNING ALL my community. He walks patiently on my left side, responds to "heel, slow-heel, fast-heel, run, Sit, Stay, don't bite, quiet mojo....and much more. This breed has the most beautiful eyes and uxurious soft coat. His cute little floppy ears are sooo charming. My grandson is 15 years old and begged me for a dog for 7 years. Mojo is his dream come true. Don't hesitate if you're thinking about purchasing a puppy from Stony Meadows. Their customer service and ethical commitment to their pups is outstanding! You will never regret it!

Honey is the sweetest pup

We're so pleased with our puppy. She adjusted quickly to her new home, and has a friendly, sweet temperament that wins over all who meet her. We've even brought her to our therapy office a few times, where she seems to have a gift for helping people relax and smile. Working with Ivan was a pleasure, start to finish. He's a knowledgeable, kind and honest breeder. Honey is a healthy, happy pup that we know will grow into a wonderful dog for our family.

We Couldn’t Be Happier With Our Puppy Dolly!

We got Dolly about 3 months ago and she has been the best dog we could have asked for. She has the most perfect temperament and is the perfect size. She can sleep for 18 hours a day but she can also play the whole day away! After tragically losing our last puppy she has absolutely healed our hearts 🧡

Our baby girl Goldie (formerly Yarow)

Our family is complete. we adopted baby Yarow from Stony Meadows 10 days ago. she is a joy and the best baby girl I could ask for. Ivan was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. He is very courteous and professional. she fit right in with the rest of the family and everyone's in love with her. I wish I could adopt all of them and i hope they rest of them find loving homes soon. thank you again Ivan and God bless you and your family.

Thank you!

Our little Bella (formerly Charity) has brought so much joy to our family! She is sweet, smart and has such a wonderful personality. Ivan was a pleasure to deal with from the first phone call to our pick up day. She is our first family pup and we couldn’t be happier!

Silky

I'm absolutely thrilled with my Golden Retriever puppy, Willow Rose (formerly Silky). She is just as sweet as she can be and a real "velcro" puppy. Loves to play with her fur-baby siblings. Ivan was a joy to deal with and I have already forwarded Stony Meadows information to a friend who fell in love with Willow when she saw her Photo.

Ginger

We named her Ginger, we call her "Little G". She has brought so much joy to our lives and we couldn't be happier to have this new addition to our family. She has a fun personality, a lot of energy and can be stubborn at times :). She is a real treat and you can take comfort in knowing she has a good home. 

Wonderful puppy

We love our mini retriever. The adoption was easy.. Here is Appa. Thanks to Ivan and his wonderful family!

Thank you Ivan for my little princess

I've always wanted a pet, specifically a puppy and thanks to Ivan my dreams came true. I'm in love with my little Zoey (Biewer Yorkshire Terrier). She is so sweet and smart and I am learning so much from her. She loves to play but she mostly loves to nap and watch t.v beside me on the couch. lol.

Thank you!!

I just wanted to share a few pictures of Pete with you. He has been such a blessing and I can't wait to get another! I know you said on the phone last night that there was just a litter of mini goldens - which parents is that litter again? I would possibly be interested if Abe was the sire. I love his look and color! 

Thank you, 

CaraAnn

Ryder

Ryder has been doing great with our family and has been a really good boy to train. His behavoirs seem very friendly like a golden and looks like a small golden, but he definitely has a lot of spaniel in him as well. Our pure, large golden is very retriever-ish with his silliness and wanting to have something in his mouth, but Ryder mimics a lot of spaniel hunting-dog type traits that I don't see in Kolbe. For example, Ryder is more prone to barking, pointing with his front foot, chasing small animals and shaking toys in his mouth. It's very interesting just to see all of the similarities and differences. His size is amazing and he is more gentle with us, conscientious and snuggly than even our full sized golden. If we could have 3 Ryders, we'd do it yesterday. As you can tell, we also kept his name since it suited him so well. Here's some pictures of him now!

THANK YOU IVAN. Maazi Milo (Formally Conner)

We have had Maazi since September 30, 2022. Our home hasn't been the same since. It is like he has always been a part of the family. We love him unconditionally. Thank you, Ivan for always checking in to see how he is doing.

Jinxie

I can not say enough about our Jinx, he gets along with my other 2 dogs and them him, he is really fond of my 13 year old male Lab and never stops playing with my 2 year old Lab mix. Thank you for being a great first dad to Jinx!!

Best Wishes

We hope your family is happy and healthy. We got (Sage) now Piper, from you back in March and she’s coming up on her 1st Birthday on January 31. She is the sweetest, most beautiful girl. We love her very much. The puppy stage was challenging, but she is maturing very nicely:) Happy Holidays!

Lucy Lou (Formerly Gemma)

My grandson has been asking for a puppy for a couple of years! We surprised him with a Miniature Golden Retriever on 14 Dec 22, he is so happy! A smile has been plastered on his face since we surprised him with Lucy; AKA: Gemma Lucy has adjusted so well! She took right to my grandson and has been spending every waking moment with him playing and snuggling on the couch. She Is definitely a quality pup! Everyone compliments her beautiful features, she gets along well with the other dogs & kids in the family Ivan, I can’t thank you enough! All of your puppies looked so well taken care of, it was hard to just pick one!! I appreciate you returning my phone call so quickly, you were kind, professional and informative! I will definitely refer my family/friends to Stoney Meadows & hope to do business with you again!!!

Ginger (previously named Amber)

Ivan,

Ginger (Amber) is doing great and adjusting well to us and her new home. She loves to snuggle and take long naps on the couch! 

Thank you!

Our puppy Nori is doing great, she is acclimating really well and has been a joy!
