Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased our 1st Cane Corso in 2012. We fell in love with this majestic breed and wanted to be part of the preservation. So we started with showing our dogs, getting involved in learning more about the bred, joined the bred clubs, meet with long time breeders and handlers found the right mentors, and after many years of learning about the breed we started our breeding program from there.
What makes your program special?
We take pride in our program all of our breeding dogs are show quality, health tested, have great temperaments and are family raised. Our puppies are raised under the Puppy Culture protocol and are videotaped daily for all to see their progress via Facebook/Instagram. All of our dogs and puppies are feed a 100% raw natural diet. We love what we do and we breed for quality not quantity.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
