Meet the breeder
I'm Teresa H., the breeder behind Kate's Country Canines located in Francisco, IN. We take pride in raising healthy Bernese Mountain Dogs with wonderful temperaments. After a decade of doing this we have made many wonderful friends along the way. We cherish those friendships. We feel blessed to be doing what we love and bringing joy to others lives through Bernese!
Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
After having recently closed a restaurant that my grandma, my mom and I had owned, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I have always loved dogs!! Walking into a PetSmart one day to get some treats, I saw the most amazing creature...I was able to speak with the owner and love on the the Berner. I went home and read and studied everything I could get my eyes on for months. I was smitten!What makes your program special?
From the moment these babies are born we are working towards one goal. That is to bring you a very happy, healthy, well adjusted member of your family. My life has been changed and blessed by Berners. I want that for your life. The transition for this puppy to your home should be a smooth one because of all the things it experiences here. If not, I feel that I have failed. These babies are it!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
