Our Story

Hello! We’re Michelle and Jeff...

breeders, dog lovers, and owners of Faith & Family Farm

We own a small family farm outside of Kansas City where we raise exceptional Bernese Mountain Dogs in a healthy, loving environment. 

We’ve whelped and raised puppies from our rescue dogs and have been breeding Bernese Mountain Dogs several years now. We fell in love with a sweet Bernese Mountain Dog on the shore of Lake Tahoe when our oldest daughter got married. After extensive research, we decided to take a detour on our way home from California and adopt our first Berner, Gideon. 

We loved Gideon so much that a couple years later, we decided to add Willow to our family. Willow’s exceptional demeanor and loving nature coupled with excellent genetics, convinced us it was time to breed to ensure her lines and traits were enjoyed by an amazing selection of active, loving families across the US.

Our Mission and Vision

the goal of our breeding program

At Faith & Family Farm, our mission is to thoughtfully and responsibly breed Bernese Mountain Dogs that embody health, temperament, and the timeless beauty of the breed. We are guided by our core values of honesty, integrity, compassion, and generosity, which shape every decision we make.

We commit to transparency in our practices, ensuring that every puppy is raised with care and every family is welcomed with trust. With unwavering integrity, we uphold the highest standards in breeding, prioritizing the well-being of our dogs above all.

Our compassion drives us to nurture each dog as a cherished member of our family, while our generosity extends to supporting our community, sharing knowledge, and fostering meaningful connections with those who share our love for this noble breed. Together, we strive to preserve the legacy of the Bernese Mountain Dog, one healthy, happy puppy at a time.

“Jeff and Michelle were awesome to work with. They helped us pick the right pup for our family. They answered all our questions and met us in the middle for no additional fee. Plus, our pup is awesome!!!”

We just love our Weller that we were so lucky to get to be his parents. Jeff and Michelle are so helpful and really care for these dogs. Even when our boy had some stomach problems a couple days after they were ready to answer our questions and give us some help. Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience !!! Very very clean puppy area. Loved the fact we were able to pick out our baby. They are very concerned about their litters, good vet care with vaccines, micro chipped prior to coming home. You can definitely tell they love and care about their dog family members. Will answer all questions after you take your puppy home, and they want you to ask any questions you have to make sure they are cared for properly. Would highly recommend getting your Berner with them !!!!!
