Q. & A. with Shantelle

Why did you start breeding?
Breeding and the intensive care has been a desire of mine since a young age. I love being in my nursery, caring for my sweet mamas and their precious little ones. I love educating people on responsible breeding ethics as preservation is important to me in various way, not only within my own program, but for the Saint Bernard breed and all breeds in general!
What makes your program special?
We are selective in our breeding practices where we strive for longevity. In order to obtain this, we focus on sound health, temperaments, and conformation. We maintain lifelong relationships with our puppy families so we can keep track of the progress we are making to ensure we are maintaining our standards and goals in breed preservation.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and red, white and orange, white and brown, rust and white, red and white, orange and white, mahogany and white, brown and white, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

She loves the attention in the show ring as spends most of her days wandering our farm and LOVES going to work with mom at the pet resort we own and operate!

Sully, dad

About Sully
Sully is a robust guy who is incredibly intelligent and a wonderful protector! Sully enjoys prancing about in the show ring in AKC conformation events where he does well meeting new people and other dogs! In Sully's spare time, he enjoys keeping an eye on our farm and alerting us of all of the sights and sounds coming close to his boundaries!
Creedence, mom
Saint Bernard
About Creedence
Creed was born here at Mountain Valley Saint Bernards and has been on the go since birth and has has a tremendous following since coming back to us. Unfortunately Creed's show career abruptly ended after her run in with a mountain lion however in my opinion this certainly is not a deal breaker as she brings so many qualities to our program and the breed overall! Creed is a phenomenal working girl and does NOT slow down one bit! She defines work ethic and drive every single day and we are always blown away by this gal. All of her babies have exceptional temperaments and are beyond gorgeous. With Creed's side of genetics, I will say that her offspring do mature slowly which is a bonus in many aspects, however keep this in mind when you are looking for a show prospect puppy.
Priscilla, mom
Saint Bernard
About Priscilla
Priscilla is one of the sweetest girls we have ever had the pleasure of loving! Pris is a huge girl with nothing but eagerness to be loved and cuddle! She is a giant teddy bear, literally. Priscilla enjoys short walks on our farm where she checks on our kids 4H critters, romps around with our other dogs and basks in the sun on our decks.
