Chris F.

Breeder of Cane Corso

Meet the breeder

I'm Chris F., the breeder behind Silverstone Cane Corso located in Crawfordsville, 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Chris

Chris has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,500 - $3,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“$500 upfront deposit secures your picking place for the litter, remaining balance, and ear crop price (usually around $150-$200), 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. ”
