About Us
We are a very small breeder located on the outskirts of central ohio with 2.5 acres for the dogs to run, and grow up on. Our dogs are bred for size, temperament, confidence, and potential for show quality. This is NOT how we make our living, and its NOT our careers. We only believe in selective breedings, and limited breeding. We are extremely hands on with our puppies from the moment they are born! All of our corsos are part of our family, and enjoy protecting our country home. They are truely our family's guardians. All our dogs are around children daily, as well as other animals. This we have found keeps them from being too challenging, and also keeps them socialized. We breed for quality of the breed not quantity. Our goal is to only better the breed, not to over populate it with junk corsos. No matter how much people want to believe it, the "rare white" corso does not exist. It would not be a good piece of "stock". We hate to see all these people mixing the breed with aggressive breeds and ruining the quality of the corso. We're not into ban dogs, and think that it gives this breed a bad name. My husband and I are looking forward to putting atleast one of our puppies in the show ring ourselves this summer. So be watching for the updates!!!!!
About the Breed
The Cane Corso was proven to have many jobs throughout the years. They were used as a big game hunter. His power, courage and agility made him especially valuable on wild boar. It is also reported that he was used on stag and bear. The Italian farmers loved them since they were such a good guard dog, and they would keep their livestock safe from large predators . They were also used as drovers for taking the livestock to the slaughter house as well as the butcher dogs. Italian fanciers of the breed say, proudly, the Corso is "the only true coursing mastiff." The breed first came into the United States around 1987 or so when it was first brought to North Jersey. The corso is Incredibly intelligent, Highly trainable, and very protective of their owners. Also, Cane Corsos don't seem to suffer from the various ailments that affect other large breeds. The standard for the Cane Corso is a dog with massive bone. His body length is a little longer than tall. The chest is broad and deep, while the hindquarters are moderately angulated and very muscular. The Cane Corso's tail is docked to one-third of its natural length. "Most important is that the dog appears balanced and athletic," the standard states. The breed has a short dense coat which comes in a wide range of colors. The standard allows "black, black-red, chestnut, fawn, blue or any of these colors with brindling." White markings may appear on the chest, neck, chin and the tips of the toes. White on any other part of the body, including the face, is a disqualification. Eye color corresponds to coat color and may range from black to hazel.
Origin:
Italy
Temperament:
The Cane Corso is loyal, intelligent, active, protective, affectionate and even-tempered. Cane Corsos are very protective of their family and make excellent watchdogs and guard dogs. They get along with children and will not pick fights with other dogs unless challenged, which they will never back down from. Cane Corsos should have an experienced owner as they can become aggressive towards strangers or other dogs if not properly trained and socialized. Cane Corsos quickly bond with their family and can become quite attached to children. Once they are fully trained they make gentle family companions and protective guard dogs.
