Sandra Lopresto

Sandra Lopresto breeds Bernese mountain dogs in Charlottesville, Virginia, in central Virginia.

She follows national breed club guidelines and ensures all adult dogs undergo recommended health screenings for hip and elbow integrity. Her kennel is registered with the national breed club and she works with experienced mentors to maintain breed standards. The dogs live in a home environment with daily access to fenced pastures and comfortable indoor spaces. For more than ten years she has focused on breeding dogs that balance working ability with family companionship.

Puppies are handled daily from birth and introduced to household sights, sounds and routines to foster confident, well-adjusted temperaments. Raised on a small family-run farm, litters benefit from supervised playtime with older dogs and calm countryside surroundings. Families value the detailed health records and temperament information provided with each puppy.
