Heather Eaton

Heather Eaton breeds bernese mountain dogs in central Iowa near Des Moines. She has more than a decade of experience, keeps her kennels registered with the American Kennel Club and conducts health screenings for hips, elbows and hearts. Puppies grow up in a family home on pasture, with daily socialization alongside children and other farm animals.

Adults live in spacious outdoor runs and participate in basic draft exercises to support their physical development. Her approach emphasizes early exposure to various stimuli, including farm equipment and waterways, to foster confident, adaptable adults. Regular check-ins and clear communication keep families informed as their puppies grow. Several of her dogs have achieved working titles in draft trials and therapy support, reflecting her focus on sound structure and calm temperament. This ranch background and hands-on care shape well-rounded companions suited for both family life and working roles.
