Meet the breeder

I'm Stephanie K., the breeder behind Kiszkaberns located in Jackson County, MI. I take pride in breeding quality puppies & strive for perfection in health, temperament, & longevity. They are raised as family! My breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention I give to every detail of the journey. I breed with a focus on health above all, and I genetically test my dogs so I can be sure they will pass on good genes to their puppies.

Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. From researching breeding pairs, conducting health testing, to purposefully raising each pup, my goal is to help preserve this breed.

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Kiszkaberns reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bernese Mountain Dogs.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1B), Bernese Mountain Dog Type, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), DNA Profile

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
