Motorhead Cane Corso

Michelle L.

Breeder of Cane Corso

Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle L., the breeder behind Motorhead Cane Corso located in Thomson, GA. Our dogs are magnificent representations of the breed and have proven themselves in the show ring and as amazing companions. Their health is incredibly important to us and we make sure they are genetically cleared and physically fit before producing any puppies. They're family first and we treat them as such.

Q. & A. with Michelle

Why did you start breeding?
Purchased our first Corsi 10 years ago and began mentoring under my breeder. After 4 years of learning everything I could, and many experiences of assisting whelpings, I was ready to bring a litter into this world. It's important to us that we remain a responsible program and only breed after our dogs complete their health tests. Finding our families is serious to us and we make sure to stay in contact with each one.
What makes your program special?
We are selective in our breeding and only produce a couple of litters each year. Once a dog is in our program, they stay in our care for life. We make sure to provide the very best for our puppies and ensure that they begin their lives in a loving home. After years of experience, we have learned how to socialize and prepare each pup for their new homes. It has been such a joy to provide families with this breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
