Meet the breeder

I'm Jena S., the breeder behind Jena's Blissful Bernese Mountain Dogs located in Elida, OH. My name is Jena and I am a mom & a passionate dog lover, I take a hands-on approach to raising every dog in our program. Our dogs are not kennel dogs—they’re part of our family. They live in our home, run across our land, and grow up with plenty of love.

Q. & A. with Jena

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always been dog lovers. Since I was a kid I have always owned a dog & wanted a Bernese Mountain Dog. I grew up with my grandmother breeding dogs & I loved being alongside that journey. As I got older & learned more about Berners I became more passionate & now I want to share them with the world so everyone can experience the love of a Bernese Mountain Dog.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are dedicated to the Bernese Mountain Dog breed with our ethical & responsible breeding. Our dogs are family-raised, health tested, & are selected for temperament, structure, & longevity. We focus on producing well-socialized puppies that become part of the family for many years.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
