Cornerstone Bernese Mountain Dogs!

Cornerstone Bernese Mountain Dogs (or Cornerstone Berners for short) is a family-owned breeder of AKC Champion Bernese Mountain Dogs and puppies. We are based out of a small town in southern Illinois, though we can ship all over United States, just let us know!.

Our breeding program focuses on producing champion stock with an emphasis on quality, genetic health, personality and beauty. Because of this, we can only keep a few puppies that we think could be AKC champions one day from the bloodlines that we have within our program. The rest we work hard to find excellent homes for whether for breeding, therapy work or just a wonderful companion within your home.

All of our puppies are AKC registered and paperwork is sent home with you to register, will be vet-checked at the 7 week mark before they go home at 8 weeks and up-to-date on shots/wormers here within our home, and come with a one-year guarantee! Please review our guarantee as well as our contract before reserving a puppy. We require a $500 deposit to reserve a puppy and it is NON-REFUNDABLE. Placing a deposit on one of our puppies means you have read, understood and are agreeing to all of the terms and conditions of our One-Year Guarantee as well as our Contract. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to give us a phone call!

If you’re interested in adopting one of our puppies, please explore our website and Contact Us with any questions you might have. We look forward to hearing from you!

My 3 gals

Wow! From the first contact with Shelby to the continued contact through our experience has been amazing. With living in Alaska, Shelby made things very easy when it came down to booking and getting my girls here. I had already had a berner and got 2 more from Corner Srone. What an amazing loving and caring individual Shelby and her family is. We love our girls and they have definitely lived the life here in Alaska over the last 3 years. The girls were born and raised in such a loving home with Shelby and her children and you can tell that the puppies were very much socialized when they came to us and it showed. You can’t go wrong getting a puppy through Corner Stone, They are simply the best! We will be back when we are ready for more.

Great experience

Shelby was an Amazing breeder to work with! She always had timely communication and continuously provided updates from the moment we reached out to her in regards of us getting our pup. Our puppy came to us with a clean bill of health and all screenings were provided, as well as all AKC paperwork and so much information about the dog food they feed and the supplements. Extremely responsible breeder that takes great care of the parents and pups! We recommend Corner Stone and Shelby to anyone we see.

Woody

We adopted our Bernese puppy from Shelby at Christmas. We got lucky when we called her and she had 2 male pups still awaiting adoption. Within a few hours of me first contacting her she was FaceTiming me to allow me to see the puppies and make my pick. We thought it was very professional of her during the holiday season to take the time and speak with us through FaceTime and answer all our questions. They were able to meet me halfway for pick up and arrived right on time which was very convenient for us. It was such an easy and wonderful experience working with Shelby. We couldn’t be happier with our boy Woody. I highly recommend Cornerstone if you are looking for a Bernese puppy.

Best Puppy Ever!

Our sweet pup from Shelby and Cornerstone is just the best!! Not only is the puppy such a sweet, socialized and healthy boy, the process was fabulous! Shelby communicated with updates, photos, information, answered all of our questions and just took the time to make sure everything was going well and we were updated. It was such a fun, memorable and smooth experience from start to finish. Shelby made sure that everything within our puppies packet had all the information we needed and she also included toys for our pup too! Shelby really cares and it definitely shows! We love Cornerstone and this puppy we got from them!! Thank you all again!

Puppies

We have gotten 2 puppies over the years from Cornerstone! They have been absolute joys to have within our home! The process was well thought out and Shelby was great to deal with. With updates and pictures weekly! I love seeing what the siblings look like as the years go by with following on social media. We recommend Corner Stone if you are looking for your next Berner friend!

Shelby was an amazing breeder to work with when we got in touch with her. She is knowledgeable, very communicative and lovely to speak with. She helped provide all the necessary documentation, she is very well organized as well with her paperwork and the hand off was so easy the day we got our pup. Shelby makes things easy when we have any questions and has been there for us. We love our Berner pup!! And we couldn’t recommend them enough.

Wonderful Additions!

My family was not only able to adopt our dream puppy, but we also had the opportunity to work with Shelby twice! Before adopting our puppy, Shelby and I discussed adding an additional dog to the family. There was a wonderful 7 year old dog looking for a home for the rest of her years and Shelby made it happen in order for her to come into our home. We couldn’t resist and we was able to bring sweet Lizzie home one month before our puppy arrived. Shelby made both experiences so easy and was more than pleasant to work with. Her communicate throughout the process was top notch! She truly cares about the dogs and also the families they end up going to. We now have two berners that are the absolute best addition to our family thanks to Cornerstone Berners!

Moose

We adopted our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy from Shelby, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Shelby was honest, responsive, and very knowledgeable about the breed, which immediately put us at ease. Our puppy was healthy, well-socialized, and clearly raised with love and care.

Bringing our BMD puppy home was such an emotional and joyful moment for our family. You can tell Shelby genuinely cares about where the puppies go and makes sure they’re placed into loving homes. We’re beyond grateful and would highly recommend Corner Stone Bernese Mountain Dogs to anyone looking to adopt a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Thank you again

Carmellow

Shelby at Corner Stone Berners was so great through the whole process when it came down to getting our puppy. She made me feel like I knew what I was doing when it came down to ordering food, supplements or anything else I needed for my pup before she came home. I’m a first time dog owner and she gave me the right advice. In my puppy packet Shelby was very thorough in all her paperwork and everything I needed to know when I took her home. The process of adoption from her was flawless! My family and I absolutely love our puppy! Her name is Carmellow and she is the sweetest and most well behaved puppy we could have asked for. Our girl is well adapted to our family now and is loving life. Also her favorite thing is snow and when it does we can never get her to come in! They say Berners love snow and they are definitely correct. Thank you Shelby and your family for all you do!

Murphy

I got my Berner Murphy almost 2 years now and Shelby was fantastic to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new puppy. You can tell how much she loves her puppies which is so appreciated. Shelby was very helpful throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions right away. She still even checks in every once in awhile as well since I got Murphy. He has been such a joy to have around and he also goes everywhere with me whether its to work, pick up the kids from school, to the store or even a coffee run through the drive-thru at Starbucks so he can get is pup-cup. He is truly a mans best friend, thanks again Shelby.
