Meet the breeder
I'm Stacia C., the breeder behind Grand Mesa Mountain Dogs located in Hotchkiss, CO. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes. My love and respect for Bernese Mountain Dogs is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
Q. & A. with Stacia
Why did you start breeding?
As a farmer, I have a deep love and respect for all things great and small. I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my Bernese Mountain Dog breeding program. I feel an overwhelming sense of joy from raising animals and working to improve and preserve their legacy.What makes your program special?
I understand the importance of purposeful, planned and responsible breeding. In my breeding program a dog must meet criteria for health, conformation and temperament to be considered for breeding—then I work my way backwards in their pedigree, evaluating generations of documented health tests. As an animal person, I truly want to breed healthy puppies that can enjoy long, happy lives with other animal people.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
