Meet the breeder
I'm Kiara M., the breeder behind Forbidden Fruits Kennels located in Rochester, NY.

The health, conformation, and temperament of our dogs are our main priority. We’re confident in the pups we raise and pick their forever families with careful attention.
Q. & A. with Kiara
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding because of my husbands passion for the breed from a very young age. We researched and learned about the breed for years before we felt we were ready enough to take the next step and purchase our first Cane Corso. We’ve always been a “big dog” family but fell in love with the athleticism that this breed has to offer!What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because it’s for the love of the breed. We strive for quality above quantity and want to extend that to the entire world. We want to preserve the mesmerizing look of Cane Corso’s and share that with everyone possible. Our kennel is name “Forbidden Fruits” because we feel this breed is just that and want to allow the community to experience their greatness.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Otis and Tori's litter
Parent dogs
Tori, mom
Cane Corso
About Tori
Tori is one of our our productions from August 2022. We decided to keep her in our program because she displayed a stable temperament, good structure, and carries a beautifully articulated pedigree. Tori comes from a dam & sire that have been genetically tested and cleared for breeding, she has multiple CH & GRCH in her bloodlines as well. She shows incredible length and height for a female, as well as a good foundation head. She is the goofiest, most loving female and I’m glad she is our top pick female. I cannot wait to see what she brings to the table.
Dior, dad
Cane Corso
About Dior
Dior has an impeccable temperament with a very robust, chiseled head. He is a replica of his sire who is in Russia. Diors pedigree is filled with champions on both sides. Dior is a Russian import here to make an impact on every litter produced.

I cannot recommend Kaira and Forbidden Fruits Kennels highly enough. From the initial outreach on the Good Dog app, Kaira was responsive, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable, even while managing a busy whelping schedule. Following the birth of the litter, she promptly helped us identify the perfect healthy and high-quality Cane Corso puppy (Valentina) based on our preferences for temperament and appearance. Over the next 10 weeks, Kaira provided exemplary care and communication, sending photos and videos every other day and keeping us throughly informed regarding vet visits, growth milestones and behavior development. Kaira also handled the ear cropping process, ensuring a smooth and safe experience. The pickup process was seamless, reflecting the professionalism of her operation. It is clear that Kaira and her family deeply love and nurture their dogs, and that passion translates into healthy, well-socialized puppies. Bringing Valentina home was an effortless transition. I highly recommend Forbidden Fruits Kennels to anyone seeking a top-tier Cane Corso. We are so greatful to have found them and now consider Kaira and her family a part of our own.

I was a little skeptical buying a puppy online, but from the start I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We were sent photos and videos every few days, communication was open, all fears were put to rest. Just an amazing experience and so so happy with our new baby, he’s so much fun! I’d would absolutely without question go to this breeder again for another Corso. Thank you so much!!

+7"Kiara was very responsive and knowledgeable about the CANE CORSO Breed. Kiara kept me informed about the puppy of my choosing, and give pictures and videos of the growth process, hospital visits, and habits. I could tell there was a lot of love and care for the dogs. Good Dog was very helpful in the process from initial connection with Kiara, picking my puppy, payment process, all through the process of picking up my puppy. Finding a Breeder such as Kiara through GOOD DOG was a blessing. My family could not be happier and thankful for our puppy 💓 REESE."
