Cornerstone German Shepherds

Cornerstone German Shepherds is a gift from the Lord. It is dedicated to the memory of a great dog trainer, handler and sportsman: my Dad, John Schilling. Dad trained some of the best hunting dogs in Illinois, and competed in Field Trials. His way of training a gun dog was well-recognized by his peers, and he had a special way of training those dogs that others couldn't get to perform.  The hard to train dogs. As a child, we always had someone else's dog in our kennel to "fix" and train. His dogs were beautiful to watch work in the field, and were always steady to wing and shot, and would back another dog on point. I accompanied him in the field while training many times. It is from my Dad that my love of dogs developed, and learning the patience and consistency it takes to train. John Schilling was a true "Dog Whisperer" long before the book was written.

We will remain small hobby breeders, dedicated to the betterment of the breed through purposeful breedings. We are signatories of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America's Breeders' Code of Ethics.

Cornerstone is prepared to change the public's sometimes mistaken image of the GSD, one puppy buyer at a time, by selectively breeding dogs that are sound in character and health, and who possess unparallel intelligence. Cornerstone is committed to honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship in the sport of  dogs. Whether for show or companion, I'll strive to provide you with the best puppy possible for your needs.
