Marianne Stewart

Marianne Stewart, Bernese mountain dog breeder in West Virginia, works from a farm in the Appalachian region near Charleston. She has been breeding for several years and holds membership in national breed clubs, ensuring that each dog is registered and evaluated for hip and elbow health. All adults also undergo eye and cardiac screening before pairing, with results documented by a licensed veterinarian.

Puppies are raised indoors with family interaction, socialized through visits to local parks, and introduced to everyday sights and sounds from an early age. They receive balanced diets sourced from local producers and rest in temperature-controlled kennels overnight.

Adult dogs live on spacious acreage, enjoying supervised play, fenced walking trails, and routine veterinary checkups. A background in animal behavior informs Stewart’s patient handling and structured enrichment programs, and many owners note the gentle temperament and adaptability of their Bernese mountain dogs in both home and therapy settings.
