Tenacity Bernese Mountain Dogs

Erica H.

Breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Erica H., the breeder behind Tenacity Bernese Mountain Dogs located in Liberty Township, OH. Raw fed and naturally reared Bernese Mountain Dog Puppies in Cincinnati, Ohio My purpose in breeding is to preserve the Bernese Mountain Dog and try to increase health span while maintaining the perfect Berner temperament that I started with. A balanced dog with type, desire to work and that moves with ease is important to me. I can't guarantee perfect health and a specific lifespan, but extensive research is put into each litter to increase the odds of long lived healthy dogs.

Q. & A. with Erica

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a canine nutrition consultant and diet formulator. My Berners are fed a nutritionally complete fresh food diet formulated specifically for their individual needs to provide the best chance at a long healthspan not only for the individual but for future offspring. Puppies are weaned to the same type of diet and raised using Puppy Culture.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
