Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Mortaio Cane Corso reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cane Corso.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s We highly recommend Rachel with Mortaio Cane Corso! After months and months of researching numerous breeders, we finally found the right one! Rachel kept us in the loop and updated us daily with pics and videos every step of the way from play time, naps, socializing, car rides, vet visits, ear cropping, etc etc of our little girl “Niah” which we picked up a few weeks ago. From the moment we brought “Niah” home she fit right in with the family and grandkids but especially took to our 10-yr old granddaughter with autism which we were concerned about. When Rachel delivered “Niah” to us she came with the bloodline and lineage of our puppy, a welcome package, all her paperwork for registrations, litter mate blanket She has been one of the smartest puppies and easiest to train we have ever owned. She came socialized, spoiled, gentle, loves to play, knows how to snuggle and is now a HUGE part of our family/pack and has already brought us unlimited hours of joy and laughter and good naps.. haha! When we took her to the vet for her 1st health testing she passed with flying colors! Again, We couldn’t be more pleased with Rachel, the process, the updates, the quick responses, her ableness to answer our million questions and was always available!! Rachel loves what she’s does and is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Cane Corso breed! And it didn’t end there… we still call her with questions from time to time and she’s right there for us… We are PROUD to say we feel like family to Rachel and the Mortaio Cane Corso! THANK YOU, RACHEL
