Meet the breeder

I'm Alissa D., the breeder behind Durgin Hollow located in Hampstead, NH. At Durgin Hollow, we breed Cani Corsi with purpose and passion, prioritizing health, sound temperament, and structure. Our puppies are raised in a family setting, building the confidence and loyalty this noble breed is known for—exceptional guardians and companions for life.

Q. & A. with Alissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was brought up with close family who bred purebred dogs all my life. I originally bred boxers but decided to move away from the breed I loved due to the high rate of health issues in that breed. After a year of research and months of trying to finding the perfect pup, I brought Akara home in 2022. The rest, as they say, is history.
  • What makes your program special?

    A Cane Corso is not the right fit for everyone. People who do pass screening and commit to one of our puppies will get lifetime breeder support. We can proudly produce health records including PennHip (0.48/0.48), genetic screening (DSRA -, DM1-), DNA testing (100% Cane Corso) and regular vet visits. In order to set your puppy up for success, we even begin basic obedience training
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chestnut brindle, black brindle, and gray brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Good level

Durgin Hollow 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 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.

  • Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    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.

  • D Locus (Dilute) DNA test, Agouti DNA Test, DNA Profile, DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1 (NCL1), Cane Corso Type, Dental-skeletal-retinal anomaly (DSRA), Cone Degeneration, German Shepherd Dog Type, DNA Disease Panel

    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).
