Q. & A. with Mike
Why did you start breeding?
After having a Cane Corso as a pet for many years my love grew for this breed. I started by owning a Cane Corso and then connecting with local breed clubs, attending dog shows, and learning from experienced breeders. My passion for Cane Corso is a commitment to maintaining and improving the breed's qualities. Cane Corsos make excellent companions and guardians.What makes your program special?
We register all our dogs with the American Kennel Club. After the litter is born, we ensure appropriate veterinary care, vaccination, and deworming for all puppies. All our dogs are raised in our home providing a stable and confident pet. We ensure that these powerful dogs are matched with families who can provide them with the appropriate care, training, and socialization they require to thrive.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chestnut brindle, black, gray, and gray brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
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).
