I'm Rob & Tonya H., the breeder behind Dementhon Saint Bernards located in Liberty Hill, TX. Our puppies are bred for temperament, health, structure, and type. Our dogs are members of our family first and amazing show dogs second! We ONLY breed our dogs to better the breed. Essentially, we are trying to create the perfect Saint Bernard.
Q. & A. with Rob & Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
We began by showing our dogs back in 2011, and we have been hooked ever since! It is important to us that we not only continue our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.
What makes your program special?
Our program is home-based. We are passionate advocates of proper breeding practices and run our program accordingly. Though the price for one our puppies can be considered high, we breed to better our lines first and foremost, but also to produce amazing show dogs, even better family companions, and to make a positive contribution to these dogs and the humans who love them, not to make money.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
