Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Coliseum de Cassiope 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.

  • 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.

    Karen was a pleasure to work with! After encountering so many scammers on other sites, Karen really put our minds at ease with the whole process. She was quick to respond and answered every question we had. You can tell she really loves these dogs and takes great care of them. Our Skye is the sweetest big baby ever! She is super friendly, very affectionate, loves running around, and is already protective of our daughter. We couldn’t be happier with our newest addition to our family!

    Karen was a joy to work with. She answered any question I had, communication was great throughout the whole process. She definitely cares for her dogs and breeds them well! Our Corso we got from her is thriving and has an amazing temperament.

    Karen has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her deep knowledge of the breed and dedication to the health and wellbeing of her dogs truly set her apart. She was consistently responsive to messages and kept us informed with regular updates throughout the entire process. Thanks to her care and expertise, Moss is now 5½ months old and thriving—and we’re enjoying every moment with him

    I knew for many years I wanted a pug. It wasn’t until recently the opportunity and timing aligned. I searched for the perfect breeder who would welcome home my new baby. Karen was communicative throughout the whole process and made the transition so easy! From the first interaction to the flight home, the process was seamless. Little Ollie has been in our lives for about 5 months now. He has brought tremendous joy to my family and my kids. He is the most popular dog in our neighborhood! My dog walker brings him to pick her kids up from school and he is always a joy to be around. He LOVES to play fetch, his temperature is so the perfect combination of goofy, calm, and occasionally gets the zoomies! If you’re looking for the perfect pug breeder you’ve found her!! Thank you so much Karen!
