I'm the breeder behind Patriot’s Bernese Mtn Dogs located in Indiana. Hi, I'm Hannah. I first fell in love with the Bernese at the age of 12, I fell in absolute love sought to learn all I could. I fell head over heals. As my husband and I were choosing a breed we came across the Berners and have since dedicated ourselves to healthy, family reared Bernese Mtn Dogs.
About Hannah
I fell in love with the Bernese Mtn Dog at 12 when American Girl had launched the story of a girl with one as a therapy dog. I sought every book I could to learn more. When my husband and I were looking for a family dog we looked no further than the Bernese Mtn Dog and haven't looked back since.

Why Hannah started breeding
Our first sweet Berner Ruger! Took him to some AKC shows (mostly for fun--I must admit my own insecurities get in the way quite a bit). and a friend approached us on our plans for him and asked about future studding of him to her female. That is how we first began.
