Meet the breeder

I'm Chelsie T., the breeder behind Home Sweet Bernese located in Winigan, MO. At Home Sweet Bernese, we raise Bernese Mountain Dogs with intention, focusing on health, structure, and temperament. Our dogs are fully health tested and our puppies are raised in-home with care and purpose. We thoughtfully guide placement and remain a lifelong resource for our families.

Q. & A. with Chelsie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I developed a passion for canine reproduction and neonatal care while studying to become a veterinary technician. After working in both clinics and alongside breeders, I saw the need for more intentional, responsible programs.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is special because it remains small and intentional, allowing us to dedicate ourselves fully to both the breed and the families we work with. Families and breeders continue to choose our program not only for our strong European type, but for the consistency we produce in structure, health, and temperament.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black tan and white and black rust and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
