I'm Lisa D., the breeder behind Diaz Farm located in Edwards, CO. Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies are loved, held, and warm from day one in our mountain-top home. They are with mama Minka around-the-clock and socialized by our three young boys, ages 9, 7 and 4.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
My wife and I are always looking at ways our boys could have unique life experiences that don’t require us to jump on a plane and circle the world. Plenty of unique experiences could happen right here at home. There is just something so magical about watching the puppies be born and grow up. It’s a lot of work and a lot of late nights but so worth it.
What makes your program special?
We are a single-litter family, so the puppies get our full attention. They live inside exclusively (with the exception of supervised outdoors time when they are old enough!), so they develop in a warm, quiet, loving environment. The pups are are held, loved and socialized by our kids on a daily basis, as well as friends and family who can't say no to puppy time!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Diaz Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
