Q. & A. with Audrey
Why did you start breeding?
I bought a cane corso puppy and I could t imagine life without him. He’s what got me into breeding. I always wanted to be able to have a piece of him whenever he gets older and will no longer be with me. And then I brought in his dad and my gorgeous Diamond and went from there.What makes your program special?
We strive to maintain the integrity and the quality of the corso. And making sure we select not only amazing pedigrees but also ensuring their temperament is amazing and the health of the parents are great so the puppies will also have the same.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gray and fawn, black, and gray brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
