Q. & A. with Jay
Why did you start breeding?
When I first got stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC at the you g age of 18, all my buddies from work just wanted to drink and party non stop, that wasn’t my cup of tea. I wanted to do something to keep me busy,something that would help me make new friends. My entire life I researched dogs, literally from the age of 5 til present day! Haha.
What makes your program special?
All of our dogs are hand selected from ONLY the finest breeders in the United States. We prefer the traditional american rustic cane corso over the imported, smaller boxer-like cane corso. We do not breed for Profit, we breed to better the breed, we only have maybe 2 or 3 litters per year. Our dogs are not cash cows and will not be treated as such!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, black brindle, fawn, gray, gray brindle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Karma, mom
Cane Corso
About Karma
Karma is our beautiful blue brindle female. We produced karma here in 2019, she is the daughter of the late Masters Hyra Di Caneolina. Karma is the complete package & definition of a Cane Corso. Head, Bone, Structure, Temperament, she lacks none! Her loyalty, drive, protection and love is what makes her our favorite... Jkjk we do not do favorites, we love all of our four legged children equally. Karmas large frame and strut when she walks gets her looks and compliments everywhere. Karmas favorite things to do are bite work, long walks through the wood trails, chase the 4 wheeler and play with her siblings.
Chyna, mom
Cane Corso
About Chyna
Much like the person she was named after, the enforcer Chyna from WWF/ D-Generation X. Chyna is the true definition of an Alpha Female. Her mature & calm nature makes her one of the finest females to ever be apart of Caneolina. The way she carries herself is nothing short of a REAL queen. Sassy, beautiful, the boss of every dog, its amazing. Chyna sometimes makes people think she's a 150lb dog when she's about 40lbs less then that, her bone, structure, head, build is truly beautiful and it speaks for itself, she looks like an all black goddess walking down the street! Chyna loves to relax pool side with her human brother Jayce, loves to sneak into the treat jar when no one is around, enjoys long walks and more importantly loves being apart of our family.
Gunner, dad
Cane Corso
About Gunner
Allow me to reintroduce myself my name is GUNS, G to the U N S. Gunner is our one and only male in the program currently, the definition of Traditional/American Rustic Cane Corso. The son of ALCOR'S TONKA TOY & AKC GCH, CH, MOSCHETTI'S BELLA, he is also the grandson of the LEGENDARY... ALCOR'S TATANKA. Gunner is the COMPLETE PACKAGE of what a true Cane Corso is and should be. His thick and beautiful black brindle double coat, imposing looks, Guns is everything we have ever wanted in not just a Cane Corso, but a DOG! Thats why we carefully hand picked Gunner to be the head of our program and chose to build around Gunner. I mean he is the dog on our logo, how could you not! Gunners impressive build, alertness, stance, and obedience is truly unmatched. Honestly its like having a mini celebrity, we can not go to Tractor Supply, Lowes or Petsmart because the workers get upset if we don't have Gunner with us, a 10 minute stop for dog supplies turns into a 45 minute event every time, but we love it. Gunners favorite things to do are play with the family, soak up all the attention, go on long walks around the neighborhood, car rides and being rewarded with furry rabbit ears!
