Mountain View Acres

Mountain View Acres is a family-run breeder of Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Golden retriever, Shetland sheepdog and Saint Bernard in Ava, Illinois, Jackson County and southern Illinois near St. Louis. With more than twenty years of experience, its programs are guided by breed club standards and health testing to support strong, healthy lines. Puppies grow up underfoot in a home setting where socialization with family members and daily routines help them adapt to life inside and out.

Each litter benefits from carefully monitored nutrition plans and early exposure to basic handling skills to build confidence. Specific needs of each breed are met with customized exercise and grooming routines. The kennel’s outdoor space includes secure runs and shaded play areas that encourage gentle exercise and exploration. Homegrown values and consistent feedback from visiting families underscore a patient approach that prioritizes lasting bonds between dogs and their new homes.
