Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love the Bernese Mountain Dog breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It's an amazing feeling knowing that we made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!

    Triple Heart Bernese Mountain Dogs did a fantastic job. Keeping me informed, sharing pictures of the pups growth, informing me of important info, and allowing me to remain in contact for questions even after delivery of our pup. It was my first time purchasing a puppy through a breeder and they assuaged my fears. Great experience! Thank you
