Meet the breeder

I'm Chelsea H., the breeder behind Ancient City Cane Corso located in St. Augustine, FL. My husband and I are the breeders behind this program. Each dog we own is with us in our home and lives like part of the family. We ensure our dogs and puppies are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their new homes. We take pride in preserving the health and structure of this breed.

Q. & A. with Chelsea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We worked with a very well known breed revivalist, mentor, and AKC Breeder of Merit, and started our program under his guidance. We are passionate about preserving the breed for what they are meant to be- a strong, stable dog, with good health, conformation, and temperament. We are looking for homes for our puppies that will offer the lifelong love, stability, and training that these dogs need.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We value ethics, honesty, and a commitment to what is best for the dogs. We are passionate about health testing every dog used in our program. We also are available to every owner for any questions, for life. Our dogs are raised as part of our family, and that's what we are looking for in our puppy homes.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Dental-skeletal-retinal anomaly (DSRA)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
