I'm Janet G., the breeder behind La Faccia Cane Corso located in New York. I am a retired, small hobby breeder of the Cane Corso. We previously bred to preserve the best possible qualities of this amazing breed. Our puppies were raised in our home with tender, loving care. We give our puppies the very best possible start in life following a protocol of early stimulation and socialization. We have studied up on breeding better dogs, choosing sires, and choosing puppies for families who we feel will be able to continue to be the guardians of this special breed.
Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
During the very beginning of my involvement with this wonderful breed, I was fortunate enough to find competent mentors who helped satiate my appetite for knowledge about the Cane Corso. They helped me understand the very important role breeders undertake, that being today's breeders are the guardians of the future of the Cane Corso.
What makes your program special?
LaFaccia Cane Corso breeds only to preserve the best possible qualities of the Cane Corso. We insist on a stable temperament and correct structure according to the Cane Corso standard, in essence, a quality Cane Corso of sound, mind, and body. We are very active in the conformation show ring, we attend working events, and most importantly, we put a large emphasis on the health of our Corsi both mentally and physically before they are considered to be breed worthy. We have studied up on breeding better dogs, choosing sires, and choosing puppies for families who we feel will be able to continue to be the guardians of this special breed. We have traveled to Italy many times to see first hand how the Cane Corso lives in their country of origin. During our travels, we have made new friends overseas which we will always cherish. Together, with our Italian friends, we share a common goal to produce excellence in the Cane Corso.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
