“My Momo was with Trina at The Whisker Haven for about a week while I was overseas and it was the best decision I ever made! Trina sent lots of photos and communicated with me on how Momo was doing starting immediately after drop off until the pick up day. Her room specifically had a large window looking out to the garden, which I can tell she loved from the photos Trina sent me. I have never left a google review before but I felt very compelled to leave a positive one for The Whisker Haven.”
“When we brought Cadence, our Belgian Malinois granddogger, home from Runchkin Hill Farm, we weren’t just getting a puppy — we were gaining a lifelong support system. Robin Desmond sets the standard for responsible breeding and working-dog training. Cadence is a product of thoughtful pairing, intentional early socialization, and a breeder who truly understands drive, structure, and temperament. You can see the foundation in her confidence and clarity every single day. What made our experience even more special was Robin’s incredible support in helping us prepare Cadence as a Christmas surprise for our son — a Marine Corps veteran who has long wanted to train and compete in PSA. Robin didn’t just send us home with a puppy. She helped us thoughtfully plan the entire surprise, guiding us in selecting the perfect leash, collar, Ruffland crate, bully sticks, treats, and even enrolling Cadence in training classes to give her the perfect head start. Her guidance made the moment unforgettable and set our son up for success from day one. From the beginning, Robin has been generous with her time, knowledge, and encouragement — and that support didn’t stop after pickup day. Cadence attends training at Runchkin Hill, and the structure, standards, and clarity Robin brings to every session are exceptional. She understands working breeds. She understands intensity. And more importantly, she understands how to channel it productively. You can tell this isn’t just breeding or training to her — it’s stewardship of the breed. And let’s be honest… when you willingly bring a “Maligator” into your home, you need someone who knows how to manage both the chomp and the charm. Robin absolutely does. If you are looking for a breeder and trainer who prioritizes temperament, health, structure, and long-term success, Runchkin Hill Farm is it. We are beyond grateful for Robin and the foundation she has given Cadence — and for the continued guidance as she grows. ?”
