In the clip, Anna’s 10-year-old daughter is seen playing with Golden Retriever puppies while sitting on the couch.
The dogs can be seen climbing in her lap as she sits crosslegged, petting them and smiling.
Meredith appears to be wearing jeans in the social media clip – a fashion choice typically not allowed in the Duggar family, though older members of the famous family have broken away from that rule as well.
Anna herself now wears pants on occasion, though she previously wore only modest dresses and skirts.

The video, posted on the Instagram account for Anna‘s dog breeding business reveals the names of the puppies, which sheds some light on other parenting rules Anna, 37, has seemingly shied away from.
According to the caption, the litter of pups is named after Disney Frozen characters.
“Introducing our Arendelle Pups. Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven. Anna, Elsa, Iduna, and Samantha,” the caption reads.
“Available very soon! Get your pup now before we ‘let it go… let it GO!’”

Traditionally, the Duggar family does not watch any kind of television or secular media, including Disney films and shows.
It appears, however, that Anna’s children do.

“Is this Meredith! She’s so beautiful,” one person posted.
A second commenter gushed: “The dogs are absolutely adorable and so is your daughter! Wow.”
“Your twin, Anna,” wrote a third.

Josh Duggar’s Legal Timeline
Former 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was sentenced to 151 months in prison for downloading and possessing child sex abuse images in December 2021. Here’s the timeline of the ex-reality star’s legal woes.
- Josh was initially accused of downloading child sexual abuse material in May 2019 after an investigation by Homeland Security Investigators.
- Later that November, Homeland Security visited the car dealership where Josh was working to raid his computer.
- On April 29, 2021, Josh was arrested and held without bail at an Arkansas jail.
- He was charged the next day during a hearing at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas via Zoom with receiving and possessing child sex abuse images, to which he pled not guilty.
- Josh’s trial began on November 30, 2021, in a federal courtroom in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and a verdict was reached on December 9, 2021.
- He was found guilty of knowing and receiving child sex abuse material.
- In May 2022, Josh was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $50,100 in fines and special assessments.
- Josh’s legal team later appealed the conviction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which was denied in late 2023.
- Shortly after, Josh again appealed for a new trial, with his attorney arguing that federal agents wouldn’t allow Josh to call him at the time of his arrest.
- On June 24, 2024, Josh’s request was again rejected.
Prior to Josh‘s incarceration in 2022, the 19 Kids and Counting star was not married.
She began running a company called Golden Grove Pups in Arkansas, where she’s from.
Anna sells English Cream AKC Golden Retrievers, and she charges a pretty penny for the dogs.
In September 2025, it was revealed that she charges about $2,000 for a puppy.
She revealed the price in an Instagram post, which read: “Looking for a furry friend? Just $2,000. They are ready to come home in one week.”
Fans in the comments were outraged, with one complaining, “2,000, that’s an insane price.”
A second shared: “That seems excessive when she hasn’t had a chance to perfect the breed, figure out faults, etc. There is a lot that goes into professional breeding. Guarantee she doesn’t understand any of it beyond make them mate, birth, sell, repeat.”
“2K?!?!?! I better be able to live in it or drive it if I have to work out that much money for something,” a third commenter wrote.
Someone else chimed in: “I was actually gonna type a response, but I literally cannot think of anything to say. I am just speechless.”
The description of Anna’s business reads: “Elevating the standard of companionship. English Cream AKC Golden Retrievers. Elegant, distinguished, loyal.”

LOCKED UP
While Josh is in jail serving a 151-month prison sentence for child pornography charges, Anna and her children are living in a sprawling home purchased for her by father-in-law Jim Bob Duggar.
He bought the $1 million home in April 2025.
The six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion sits on 10 acres of land and boasts 6,318 square feet of space for Anna and her kids.
Josh, meanwhile, is living in a small sell in FCI Seagoville in Dallas, Texas.
He will be held there until December 2032.
Josh has been fighting to appeal his conviction, but has suffered several failed attempts.
He is currently representing himself in court.
The U.S. Sun previously obtained paperwork outlining his appeal.
In it, Josh detailed his financial situation in prison.
As of April 2025, Josh had only $0.22 in his bank account and $0.02 debt.
He revealed that he is unemployed in prison, receives income from “no other source,” and has no savings, property, or assets.
Josh claimed that even his family and friends have stopped sending him money while he serves out his time.
JOSH’S ARREST
He was arrested and charged with possessing and receiving child pornography in April 2021.
A nearly two-week trail took place in Arkansas, with the jury ultimately finding him guilty in the end.
Josh was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison in May and was later transferred to FCI Seagoville in June 2022.
