The House Of Berner

The House Of Berner, Bernese mountain dogs, Hilham, Tennessee, serves Overton County and the Upper Cumberland region near Cookeville. Cynthia Ann Thomen has turned a lifelong love of working farm dogs into a home-based breeding endeavor, guided by veterinary partnerships and careful health practices. Their breeding program follows recommended health screenings, genetic evaluations, and maintains breed club registrations to uphold standards. Puppies experience early neurological stimulation and daily socialization with family members, laying a foundation for balanced temperaments. Dogs grow accustomed to household life as well as supervised outdoor play, helping them adapt smoothly to new environments.

The wooded yard and gently rolling fields offer ample space for exercise, encouraging confidence around people and other animals. This approach fosters calm temperaments suited for roles such as therapy work or devoted family companions. Each puppy leaves with a health record, a socialization guide, and a sample of familiar bedding to ease the transition.
