Our over twenty years of experience in breeding, showing, and raising dogs sets us apart as reputable breeders in Western Kentucky. We are always available for any questions or concerns you may have.

Q. & A. with Katherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell into breeding Cane Corsi through my grandfather who immigrated here from Sicily. He knew the breed there. After my grandfather passed away it was hard to continue breeding Corsi. We had always owned French Bulldogs as pets and so we decided to health test them and move our contracts up to full AKC so we could start a program. It was a great decision! The whole family is overjoyed and involved with the Frenchies. We love going to shows together and hanging out with our furry family members.

  • What makes your program special?

    I feel our breeding program is special because we bring a family aspect to breeding and placing our puppies. We allow prospective buyers to come into our home to see how we do things. I have yet to meet another breeder that does this. I have always picked my puppies up at a location other than the breeder's home. We also show our dogs and allow them to act as dogs and not a couch ornament. We love spending time with our dogs and we keep them for life after they retire from breeding. We health test through Embark and our veterinarian checks patella's prior to breeding.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, fawn, white, white and fawn, white and brindle, tricolors, fawn brindle and white, fawn and white, blue, brindle and white, blue fawn, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
