Nuovo Inizi Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Rachel P., the breeder behind Nuovo Inizi Kennels located in Tennessee. I am dedicated to raising the bar for thoughtful breeding with optimal health in mind. I do my best to produce puppies that have the best chance at living long, happy, and healthy lives. All of my dogs are health tested and raised with me in my home.
Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
The sire of my very first Corso had won BOB at Westminster, and from that point forward it had become a dream of mine to start my own kennel where I could one day have my own bred by dog show at Westminster. That dream became a reality.What makes your program special?
My puppies are whelped and raised in my home. I welcome families to meet my pack so you can get a feel for the temperament of the Sire and Dam. My dogs come with a contract and are co owned. I provide a lifetime of mentorship. Health testing I perform (OFA, Pennhip, DSRA, Cardiac). I follow the breed standard and work closely with my mentors to make sure I'm always on the right path.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chestnut brindle and gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
