Carissa Schneider

Carissa Schneider breeds bernese mountain dogs in Maryland’s Piedmont region near Baltimore. With more than two decades of small animal husbandry on her family’s farm, she participates in American Kennel Club registrations and breed-specific health testing programs to support strong lineage. Her adult dogs live indoors with the family and spend daily time in well-maintained fenced yards to encourage confident temperaments and robust health. Puppies benefit from exposure to household noises, gentle handling, and supervised outdoor play in pastures edged with native trees.

Selective pairing of parents aims to reinforce stable temperaments and healthy structure. Shelters equipped with temperature control and soft bedding ensure comfort through seasonal changes while allowing fresh-air enrichment. Carissa shares regular photo updates and offers guidance on breed-specific nutrition, basic obedience, and grooming routines. Follow-up conversations and home visit recommendations aim to foster lasting bonds between bernese mountain dogs and their new families.
