Jodi Mcdowell

Jodi Mcdowell, Bernese mountain dogs in Washington, WA, is based in Washington state near Seattle. She has bred Bernese mountain dogs for more than a decade, maintains memberships in recognized breed clubs and ensures all breeding dogs undergo routine health screenings for hips, elbows and heart.

Puppies are raised in a home setting, receiving daily exposure to family life, gentle handling and outdoor play on her rural property. The focus on steady temperaments helps puppies adapt smoothly to new homes. Owners often remark on the dogs’ calm presence as they settle into family routines.

Litters are whelped in a comfortable, climate-controlled area and puppies receive a basic temperament evaluation before joining their new families. Early handling begins in the first week to encourage confidence and bonding. Jodi shares updates with owners throughout the process and provides ongoing guidance on nutrition and training.
