What Our Families Say About SCF

"Toby truly has completed our family, and the process at Sunny Chestnut Farm was so wonderful. They really do care about their dogs, and all of the additional information we were sent with on raising a puppy and bred specific questions answered made the transition home seamless. Toby is the absolute best with our two sons. Not only are we constantly getting compliments on how handsome he is, he lights up our house with his sweet and funny personality."

"We chose Sunny Chestnut Farm not only because their Berners are beautiful, but also because Tyler was incredibly knowledgeable and patient in answering all of our questions. It quickly became clear that she truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. The whole process was smooth and transparent, and we always felt well supported. Our Berner has an amazing temperament, gentle, friendly with both people and other dogs, and full of energy. He has become such a special part of our family. We would absolutely recommend Sunny Chestnut Farm to anyone considering a Bernese Mountain Dog. The first photo was taken the day we brought our little boy home, and the second is him now, growing in to such a handsome and sweet gentleman. We couldn’t imagine our life without him."

"Tyler Ajax is doing so well.  We were so glad to find a good breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs in North Carolina. Ajax was well prepared and well-adjusted when we brought him home. He was the star of his puppy kindergarten class because of his good upbringing."

"I first found Sunny Chestnut Farm on Instagram. We had an 11-year-old Berner and apparently, I follow a lot of Bernese Mountain Dog pages! I reached out to Tyler after we lost our good old boy. She was knowledgeable, responsive and I just knew this was the right breeder for us. We brought our sweet Maple Moose home in December of 2025. She is a vibrant, goofy and sturdy girl! What a joy it has been having her! Thank you Tyler and family. I already have the name picked out for my future boy Berner. We will be in touch!"

“We could have not been happier with George from SCF! We were extremely particular with where we looked for our Berner, knowing there are a lot of breeders out there that don’t understand the breed in and out. Tyler has been an amazing asset not only before getting George but also throughout his early life, answering questions and giving us guidance to give George the best life possible. George basically came potty trained as a puppy, handles change with ease and has the BEST temperament (George is the goofiest dog ever)! They’re the absolute best dogs but make sure to get your pup from SCF!”

"Our experience with Sunny Chestnut Farm was beyond anything we could imagine. We expected to only come away with a new dog for our family, but instead we came away with a dog and a friendship! Tyler is always there, she's super supportive, very responsive, and truly cares for the dogs she gives a home too. We chose Sunny Chestnut Farm due to the first impression we received when we reached out just inquiring about the process of getting a Bernese Mountain Dog. The process was absolutely amazing! The updates along the way Tyler provided were always enjoyable to get, the super informative conversations instilled a confidence in my family that we had not only made the right choice of breed, but breeder as well! Our dog and Sunny Chestnut Farm were the perfect fit for our family!"

"We had been following Sunny Chestnut Farm on Instagram long before we decided to get our first dog, just because we loved the breed and Tyler posts wonderful content about her gorgeous dogs. When we decided to get a BMD, we immediately contacted SCF to get more information. We never vetted any other breeder, we could tell from the start that this would be a great partnership. The wait time quoted was accurate, and it was clear that a lot of attention was given to making sure the puppies were raised/socialized well in the first 8 weeks and that the best puppy match was considered. Tyler asked so many good questions and paired us up with our dream girl, Ember. We received so much helpful information about the breed and raising a puppy in the time between Tyler confirming we had a puppy until the “gotcha” day. We never felt alone at any point, even after Ember came home, because Tyler was available and provided so much care and support. Ember is a wonderful dog, she is sassy and fun and sweet and just perfect – healthy, beautiful, and a wonderful “daughter”. She gets attention wherever she goes; we constantly hear from random people how beautiful she is. She has transformed our home and lives. We could not be happier with our decision in choosing Sunny Chestnut Farm."

Just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of Kili and her pack. Having had several puppies by now it is obvious how much care she received before we got her. She was crate trained almost immediately, is just the sweetest pup, and so trusting. And she’s super chill, adapting to pretty much every situation she encounters. Amazing. We are thankful.
