Q. & A. with Shaun
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding dogs been around me all my life so it stuck with me.
What makes your program special?
Once you’re with the Empire you’re family. I’m one call away and I also do events that invite everyone who trusted the empire to serve them with a great companion. I also help with breedings if needed it and I travel to shows and get with some of the clients to see if they want to go and learn more.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, black brindle, fawn, and gray. 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.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Exotic Empire Kennels LLC 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.
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.
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.
