OFA-verified means we matched a clearance in the OFA public database on a Bernese Mountain Dog the breeder bred. A breeder without a match may still health test; we only count results we could check. 4 of these listings have an open red flag; each profile shows the evidence and how to dispute it.

What to ask a Bernese Mountain Dog breeder
Ask for both parents' results for OFA Hips, OFA Elbows, Cardiac OFA, DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), VWD (Von Willebrand Disease). Results should be checkable by OFA or registry number, not a verbal assurance.
Breeder licensing in Arizona
Arizona requires a County kennel permit, issued by the county board of supervisors / county animal control, not by the state if you keep 5 or more breeding dogs (kept in an enclosed controlled area, unless each dog is individually licensed).
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
