I'm Sherry O., the breeder behind Cameo located in Fox Lake, IL. We breed to both help ensure the future of the Bernese Mountain Dog and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation. Our dogs are outstanding Bernese Mountain Dogs. We take pride in both their accomplishments in the ring and their amazing temperaments and abilities at home. They produce wonderful pups, and we are happy to be able to provide other families and individuals with extraordinary Bernese Mountain Dog puppies.
