Our Family
We Are More Than Dog Breeders
Breeding Bernese Mountain Dogs isn't just a business – it's a calling. From the moment we decided to embark on this journey we knew we'd be unwavering in our commitment to quality, from the exceptional health and temperament of our breeding dogs to the loving forever homes we find for our puppies. This unwavering commitment applies to everything we do and takes a commitment from our whole family. Our goal is to create a win-win-win situation for everyone involved in the life of our puppies: us, the families welcoming a new furry friend, and of course the puppies themselves.
A Letter from the Meins Family
We are a Family
Bernese Boutique is a childhood dream come true for Becky Meins, but we truly run as a family operation.
Becky grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs and horses, which sparked her lifelong love of animals and fueled her dream of breeding. Now, with a degree in biology and a natural gift for connecting with animals, she leads our program with a wealth of knowledge and a constant pursuit of improvement.
Second only to her family, running a breeding program is her greatest passion in life.
Becky's husband, Curt, tackles the business side of things, keeps our marketing on point, oversees our facilities and is one of our resident flight-nannies. But don't be surprised to find him cuddling puppies on the floor too!
Their three sons all play vital roles. Peyton (16) ensures the puppy room is clean and safe and also helps out with facilities. His"can do" spirit and muscles are much appreciated on dogfood delivery days. Bowen (13) assists with photoshoots, temperament testing and is our other resident flight-nanny. Nolan (10) is Becky's "protege." He showers every dog and puppy with love and assists with our extended-training program. Nolan has a special soft spot for Zola, the Bernese Mountain Dog who started it all.
Becky is a science-minded visionary who absolutely loves mom-care and new-puppy-care. She handles all breedings, coordinates all vet appointments, and delivers every puppy in our living room. Becky oversees every step in the process from planning to puppy go-home day; but would be at a loss without her right-hand-woman: Dana.
Dana Towberman and her family may not share our last name but are certainly our family. Dana runs the operations of Bernese Boutique. She is our organizational queen. Dana keeps our schedule on schedule and ensures all paperwork is organized, filed and complete. Our always clean and organized puppy room is Dana's masterpiece. In addition to all of that, Dana's specialty is working with puppies from 3 to 8 weeks of age while assisting with our training program and extended training program. Dana and her family are always willing and eager to jump in and help in any way.
Whether living in our home or residing with loving Guardian Families, all our breeding dogs and puppies are treated as cherished pets. Puppies start their lives in our living room, surrounded by cuddles and family interaction. After weaning, they move to a specially designed "puppy room" that prioritizes cleanliness, strategic curriculum and stimulating play. We have the joy of loving every puppy first and hope you'll love our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies as much as we do.
From birth until they go home, our puppies receive constant love, mental stimulation, and physical engagement from the entire Meins family. It's more than just strategic – it's a natural expression of our passion.
