Meaning & Story
From Spanish mesa, meaning 'table' — referring to a flat-topped geographical landform with steep sides, characteristic of the American Southwest landscape.
Mesa evokes the dramatic, sun-baked beauty of the American Southwest — red rock country, wide open skies, and the particular silence that only exists in places with no cell service. It's a name with tremendous visual impact, perfectly suited to a large, solid, composed female dog who seems equally at home on a mountain trail as in your living room. There's something grounded and enduring about the word mesa; it carries the weight of geological time. A Mesa is a dog who has always been here and will always be here.
