Meet the breeder

I'm Priscilla S., the breeder behind Central Jersey K9 located in Hillsborough, NJ. Our program is dedicated to preserving the health, sound structure, and authentic Italian type of the Cane Corso, with bloodlines tracing back to the breed’s revival era of the 1970s and 1980s, when devoted breeders brought the Corso back from near extinction. Every puppy we raise is nurtured as part of our family until they are ready to join yours. Our pairings are never by chance—they are carefully planned to encourage genetic diversity, steady temperaments, and versatility, producing Corsi who can excel in the show ring, work with confidence, and live as loyal companions. We prioritize placements in show and working homes, where the breed’s full potential can shine, while also welcoming dedicated pet families and guardian homes. In the end, our mission is simple: to connect you with a Cane Corso who embodies loyalty, strength, and a timeless legacy worth preserving.

Excellent level

Central Jersey K9 reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cane Corso.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • 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.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, DNA Profile, Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (cmr3; BEST1 Exon 10 SNP), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1 (NCL1), Cane Corso Type, Dental-skeletal-retinal anomaly (DSRA)

    Finding Central Jersey K9 was truly a blessing! We were in search for not only a happy puppy but a wonderful breeder to work with as well. Priscilla invested so much time and care into producing beautiful, healthy, and balanced Corsi. We appreciated her thorough communication throughout this whole process and she made sure to pair us with a puppy to match our needs as a family.

    From the very beginning, she welcomed us into her home, let us meet the puppies and both parents, and treated us more like family than customers. Her home is very clean and calm, not chaotic at all, which immediately stood out to us. Her family is absolutely wonderful as well — her husband is great, and their child is adorable — it truly felt like a warm, family environment. She gave us constant weekly updates, doctors visits , pregnancy progession of the mom and of course the puppys and answered every question we had, no matter how small or probably unnecessary. She took the time to help us understand every detail about the breed and what responsible ownership looks like. On top of that, she goes above and beyond with things she doesn’t have to do — simply because she wants the best for her puppies and the families they go to. What really set her apart for us is that she temperament tests and assesses every single puppy to make sure they’re placed with the right family. With small kids at home, that meant everything to us, and it gave us complete confidence in our decision. She has all the lineage and information you’d want from a breeder, but what stands out most is how much she genuinely loves these dogs. They are raised in a loving environment and cared for like part of her family. Plus, she will be there for the life of the dog — offering guidance, support, and help whenever it’s needed, which is something you rarely find. I literally brag about her to everyone who asks about our puppy. After everything we saw during our search, we truly feel we found the perfect breeder and the perfect dog. We would highly recommend.

    Losing our Cane Corso in February at just four years was very heartbreaking, and it made us very hesitant to trust just any breeder. From the very first conversation, Priscilla was incredible with her transparency, compassion, and the way she raises both the parents and puppies within her own family environment immediately put us at ease. After months of seeing our kids struggle with the loss, surprising them with a new puppy for Christmas felt right, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We truly couldn’t be happier with our puppy. Priscilla made the entire transition seamless from start to finish, providing consistent weekly updates, vet visit information, and a detailed take home package at pickup that left nothing unanswered. The level of care, knowledge, and pride she puts into her dogs is evident in every step of the process. Our puppy has been amazing with our children, unbelievably smart, and already adjusting to our home, clear proof of the love, socialization, and dedication Priscilla puts into raising her puppies. She matched Duke perfectly with our family, and she absolutely nailed it. Thank you for everything!

    I can not express my gratitude enough for Priscilla. My husband and I lost our beloved cane corso Darla back in September and we were so heart broken and just had a hole in our hearts and felt like a member of our family was missing. We were very hesitant purchasing a dog online but when I saw the pictures of Priscilla and her cane corsos I could tell how much she loved hers and they were apart of her family and I went for it. Well let me tell you, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Priscilla was attentive, kind, knowledgable and accommodating. She sent adorable pupdates and was able to select the right puppy for our home. She was a blessing to us during such an emotional but exciting time. We picked up our puppy and we are just so in love with her. She was the perfect pick and so adorable and playful. All I can say is if you are looking for a Cane Corso put your trust in Priscilla you will not be disappointed. Thank you for such an amazing experience and giving us such a precious gift.
