Mary Kay Kuzma

Mary Kay Kuzma cares for Bernese mountain dogs in north central Ohio near Columbus. She has been breeding for over a decade, participates in American Kennel Club events and screens her adults for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and eye conditions.

Her adults live indoors as part of the family and spend time roaming the farm’s pasture and woods for daily exercise and social interaction with visitors and volunteers. Puppies are gently introduced to children, cats and livestock to foster calm confidence and adaptability.

Several lines under her care have earned championship and performance titles, and her experience raising therapy prospects has drawn praise from local volunteer groups. Prospective owners value her transparent health records and find that her open conversations about lineage and early development make for an informed adoption. Her hands-on, family-centered approach underscores a lifelong commitment to the breed.
