When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Shantelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

If Shantelle offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Shantelle directly.
We do all that we can to expose our puppies to new experiences, smells, and noises during crucial development periods. We follow Puppy Culture protocols. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Various sounds, Car rides, and Puppy Culture.
Our puppies’ health and wellbeing are our top priority, and they get the best care we can provide. Our pups are vet checked with a health certificate. We vaccinate our pups at 6 weeks (Neopar) and 8 weeks (1st Set). Pups are dewormed and also microchipped with Buyer's name as primary and our name as a secondary contact.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Toys, Puppy starter kit, Food & treats, Vet records, Basic obedience & manners, Microchip, Registration, and Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent.
Shantelle offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.

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!
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.
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.

Great level
Mountain Valley St. Bernards 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 Saint Bernards.
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.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
