I'm Paulina I., the breeder behind Forza Cane Corso located in Raeford, NC. We breed happy, healthy, family guardians. Our dogs live with us in our home and enjoy going out with us on walks, trails, and social events. I am a busy homeschooling mama, and I'm always taking the kids and dogs out to explore. We work hard on obedience and social training with all of our dogs. We only breed dogs with stable, loving, loyal personalities. Our Cane Corsos are the perfect family adventure buddy!
Q. & A. with Paulina
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with our first Cane Corso 4 years ago. Owning such an incredible breed so full of love and loyalty is life-changing. Since then, we have wanted to help preserve the integrity of the breed and pass on the joy of well-bred Corsos to others.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because of the time and care we put in. We treat our dogs like family and take them everywhere we go. We put a lot of time into their training and socialization. I am lucky I get to stay home with them so they get a lot of time with our whole family. We make sure to pick dogs with great pedigrees, good health (OFA certified), and fantastic personalities.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, gray, and gray brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
