Meet the breeder

I'm Chris F., the breeder behind Silverstone Cane Corso located in Gosport, IN. We offer top-quality show prospects and pets. We breed for not only health, but temperament, and overall structural design of our dogs. We are highly competitive in the AKC show world and striving to produce the next “Dog of the Year”. We spend countless hours hunting down and finding what we feel are the best genetics for us, in not only the country but the world. We appreciate you taking the time to look at our dogs and hope to work with you in the future. We will answer any and all questions you may have to the best of our ability. Thanks again and God bless!!

Q. & A. with Chris

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother was raising dogs before I was born, starting with Old English Sheepdogs in the ’80s before transitioning to breeding and showing Chinese Shar-Pei’s in the late 80s to mid-90s before moving to Golden Retrievers. As I grew up I started off with Rottweilers which gave me a love and respect for working dogs for not only their size, power, and demand for respect but their minds, the love for their families, and the lengths they would go to protect their humans. They are truly the Swiss Army knife of dogs!

  • What makes your program special?

    A lot of time and care goes in to choosing the correct dogs to breed. We will only breed dogs of correct confirmation and great temperaments as outlined in the AKC breed standard. All our puppies are raised in our home, not in a kennel. All puppies are handled by us from birth to the time they leave us. For the first 3 weeks puppies are never left alone. We take a lot of care into early socialization, ENS (early neurological stimulation) and training to produce more confident, social and exploratory puppies that are well adapted for any situation. We are not a big breeder we only have a few litters a year. We are focused on quality well bred dogs and not quantity.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, black brindle, gray, and gray brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Chris

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $3,250 - $5,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“$500 upfront deposit secures your picking place for the litter, remaining balance due at time of pick up. If for some unknown reason you are not happy with the puppy at pick up time, you can pass on the puppy but we keep the deposit and you stay in line for a puppy on a future litter. ”

    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.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • 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).
