Stefanie Harper

Stefanie Harper breeds Bernese mountain dogs in California, in Kern County and the southern Sierras near Bakersfield. She has cared for these dogs for many years, is a member of a national breed club, and follows guidelines for hip and elbow testing as well as regular heart and eye screenings.

Her puppies are raised inside the family home with daily socialization and supervised outdoor access on the ranch. Each litter is handled from birth to support early learning and gentle exposure to household sounds.

Her approach combines careful health monitoring with enrichment activities, including supervised visits with other pets and brief outings on nearby trails. Prospective families can observe health checks and temperament evaluations at every stage, ensuring clear communication about each puppy’s progress. She offers guidance on nutrition and training, sharing insights on a balanced diet tailored to each puppy’s growth stage.
