OUR DOGS ARE OUR COMMITMENT
Many people look at the price of our puppies and wonder why our dogs cost more than those offered by many other kennels.The answer is simple:HIGH QUALITY CANNOT BE MAINTAINED AT A LOW COST.For us, breeding has never been simply about income. It is a commitment, a responsibility, years of experience, time, dedication, hard work, and above all, a genuine love for our animals.Every dog in our care matters to us — whether it is part of our breeding program, a puppy going to a new family, or a senior dog who has already retired from breeding.A DOG DOES NOT STOP BEING IMPORTANT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER PART OF OUR BREEDING PROGRAM.This is one of the things people often do not see when comparing prices between kennels.
17 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY
We are a kennel registered with the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB (AKC), recognized as an AKC BREEDER OF MERIT, and our kennel also holds a KENNEL LICENSE.Together with our 17 years of experience, our breeding program, our selection process, our infrastructure, and our continuous education, these are all important parts of the standard we have built our kennel upon.We are not a kennel that appeared on the market a few years ago and may disappear a year or two later.WE HAVE BEEN BREEDING FOR 17 YEARS.When you purchase a puppy from us, you are not only purchasing a dog. You are also choosing the experience, knowledge, reputation, and long-term commitment of a breeder who intends to be here for you years from now.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY DOES NOT END WHEN YOUR PUPPY LEAVES OUR HOME
For us, handing a puppy to its new family does not mean closing the door.IT IS THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER STAGE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY.We remain available to our clients and continue to support them with questions regarding nutrition, training, development, behavior, socialization, and everyday care.Over the years, we have developed extensive knowledge and experience in raising, training, and living with Cane Corso. We also continue to educate ourselves and improve our knowledge because we believe that a responsible breeder should never stop learning.This allows us to help our clients recognize potential problems early and work toward finding the right solution.Early intervention can make an enormous difference — both for the dog and for the owner. In many situations, proper guidance regarding nutrition, training, behavior, or management can also prevent unnecessary and expensive problems later.WE DO NOT SELL YOU A PUPPY AND DISAPPEAR.If you purchase a dog from us and need our help four or five years later, we want you to know that you can still come back to us.WE WILL STILL BE HERE.
OUR DOGS STAY WITH US FOR LIFE
After 17 years of breeding, our situation is very different from that of someone who owns one or two dogs.When a breeding program has existed for many years, there are also seniors.Dogs who have completed their breeding careers do not suddenly become “unnecessary” to us.THEY ARE STILL OUR DOGS.Some of them may be perfectly happy moving into wonderful retirement homes after their breeding career is over. When we believe that a new home is the right choice for that individual dog, we are happy to make that possible.But not every dog wants to leave the environment it has known its entire life. Some dogs are happiest staying with us, surrounded by the people, animals, and environment they know.Those dogs remain with us.WE DO NOT DISCARD OUR SENIORS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER PART OF OUR BREEDING PROGRAM.We care for them for the rest of their lives.And this is another part of responsible breeding that is rarely visible in the price of a puppy.
QUALITY COMES AT A COST
Our dogs receive a high-quality fresh-food diet that includes fresh beef, veal, organ meats, and veal bones, along with high-quality supplements and individualized daily care.We do not look for the cheapest solution.WE LOOK FOR THE BEST SOLUTION.We do not feed our dogs low-quality products or table scraps. We do not compromise on nutrition, health, or comfort simply to reduce the cost of maintaining our kennel.Anyone who owns a dog understands how expensive veterinary care can be. With a large kennel, those costs multiply significantly.We spend TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR on veterinary care, examinations, diagnostics, preventive care, and the overall health of our animals.And veterinary care is only one part of the picture.There are also supplements, premium nutrition, infrastructure, employees and outside help, daily care, travel, dog shows, professional handlers, grooming, conditioning, and the many other expenses required to keep our dogs in exceptional condition.The beautiful show photographs you see online are only the final result of an enormous amount of work, time, planning, and money that most people never see.
OUR DOGS DO NOT LIVE IN CONCRETE RUNS OR TIDE CRATES
We do not believe dogs should spend their lives confined to small concrete kennels.We own several acres of land specifically so our dogs can run, walk, exercise, explore, and enjoy open space.People who follow us on social media can see how our dogs actually live — running through the fields, enjoying their outdoor areas, and spending time outside of their kennels.Our runs have been carefully designed with the dogs' safety, hygiene, and comfort in mind. We have invested in quality drainage systems, artificial grass with proper drainage layers, and thoughtfully designed spaces.All of our kennels are equipped with HVAC systems, allowing us to maintain controlled temperatures throughout the year.WE DO NOT KEEP OUR DOGS IN OUTDOOR DOG HOUSES OR IN CONDITIONS THAT COMPROMISE THEIR COMFORT, DIGNITY, OR QUALITY OF LIFE.
BREEDING IS ABOUT SELECTION — NOT PRODUCTION
We do not breed every dog simply because that dog is available in our kennel.Our breeding program is based on careful selection.We breed dogs that we believe have the appropriate quality, temperament, structure, health, and potential to contribute positively to the breed.We do not take unnecessary risks simply to produce more puppies.NOT EVERY DOG SHOULD BE BRED — AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT.Our goal is to produce high-quality Cane Corso while maintaining proper structure, functionality, health, temperament, and the characteristics that define the breed.We do not believe we should have to choose between impressive size and health.Our goal is to produce dogs that combine substantial size with correct structure, functionality, and health.
WHY DOES THE REPUTATION AND LONGEVITY OF A KENNEL MATTER?
You can find Cane Corso puppies at many different price points.You can also find people who raise dogs in their homes and provide wonderful care — and that can be an excellent environment, especially when someone has one or two dogs.But maintaining a responsible breeding program for  17 years is very different.As a kennel grows and continues for many years, so does the number of dogs, seniors, veterinary expenses, infrastructure, staff, responsibilities, and long-term commitments.You cannot compare the cost of caring for one or two dogs with the cost of maintaining a long-term breeding program where dogs remain your responsibility throughout their entire lives.That is why, when comparing prices, it is important to look beyond the puppy's price.
ASK YOURSELF:
How do the dogs live?
What are they fed?
What kind of care do they receive?
How does the breeder select their breeding dogs?
What health testing is performed?
What happens to the older dogs after they retire from breeding?
How long has the kennel been established?
Will the breeder still be there five or ten years from now?
Will you truly have someone to turn to after you purchase your puppy and need help?
Does the breeder have public reviews where clients can openly share their experiences?
Can anyone leave a review, or does the breeder control which testimonials are visible?
Can you find independent reviews on public platforms such as Google, Facebook, or Yelp?
If the breeder has been in business for years and has had many clients, why are there no public reviews available?
If the breeder claims to have an excellent reputation, is that reputation supported by years of publicly available client feedback?
Are previous clients returning years later to purchase another dog?
Are there families who own multiple dogs from the same breeder?
Is the breeder transparent about their dogs, their facilities, and how their dogs live?
Can you see the breeder's dogs and their everyday living conditions on social media?
Does the breeder have a long, verifiable history, or have they only recently started breeding?
What happens if you need the breeder's help several years after purchasing your dog?
Will that breeder still be there for you?
ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE VALUE.
17 YEARS — AND HUNDREDS OF PUPPIES AND FAMILIES
During our 17 years of breeding, we have produced HUNDREDS OF PUPPIES and had the privilege of getting to know many wonderful families.We are incredibly grateful for the large number of clients who have remained connected with us for years.Some clients return to us many years later for another dog. Some families have two, three, or even more dogs from our kennel.These relationships are one of the greatest confirmations of what we do.The overwhelming majority of our clients are extremely happy with their dogs and appreciate the support they continue to receive from us long after bringing their puppy home.Of course, no breeder can guarantee that every person will always be 100% satisfied. Likewise, no breeder can control every situation that may occur in a dog's life after it leaves the kennel.Unfortunately, there are also situations in which medical problems are attributed to genetics without appropriate documentation confirming a genetic cause.In our industry, we sometimes encounter situations where responsibility for unsuccessful treatment or medical decisions is shifted toward the breeder, even when no official documentation is provided establishing a genetic connection.WE CANNOT CONTROL EVERY REVIEW OR EVERY STORY SOMEONE CHOOSES TO SHARE PUBLICLY.What we can control is OUR INTEGRITY, OUR WORK, OUR DOCUMENTATION, OUR BREEDING PROGRAM, AND THE WAY WE TREAT OUR DOGS AND OUR CLIENTS.After 17 years in this industry, we can say with confidence that the overwhelming majority of the people who have come to us have remained in excellent relationships with us.The returning families, the clients who come back years later, the families who own multiple dogs from us, and the healthy, happy dogs living in those homes are the feedback that means the most to us.
THE PRICE OF A PUPPY IS MORE THAN THE PRICE OF A PUPPY
When you purchase a puppy from us, you are not simply paying for a dog.You are investing in years of work developing our breeding program, high-quality breeding dogs, premium nutrition, veterinary care, health testing, supplementation, land, infrastructure, professional handling, dog shows, education, experience, selection, and the enormous amount of time we dedicate to our animals every single day.You are also investing in something that cannot be seen in a photograph:THE CONFIDENCE THAT BEHIND YOUR PUPPY IS A KENNEL THAT HAS BEEN HERE FOR 17 YEARS — AND INTENDS TO STILL BE HERE WHEN YOUR DOG IS 4, 5, 8, OR 10 YEARS OLD.We are not a one-, two-, or five-year kennel.We are not a kennel that closes its doors after the puppy leaves and leaves the new owner on their own.WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 17 YEARS, AND WE INTEND TO BE HERE FOR MANY MORE.We are deeply committed to what we do.We invest our time, our resources, our knowledge, our passion, and our lives into our dogs because we believe they deserve nothing less.We do not build our kennel simply to produce as many puppies as possible.
WE BUILD IT TO PRODUCE THE BEST DOGS WE CAN, TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF THE BREED, TO GIVE EVERY DOG IN OUR CARE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY OF LIFE, AND TO PLACE OUR PUPPIES IN THE BEST HOMES WE CAN FIND.FOR US, BREEDING IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT PRODUCING PUPPIES.IT IS ABOUT BUILDING A LEGACY, PROTECTING THE BREED, AND GIVING EVERY DOG IN OUR CARE THE LIFE IT DESERVES.
