Price vs Value

It’s not very difficult to find a poor quality Cane Corso puppy priced in the hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars bred by a puppy mill or a backyard breeder. My family tried that many years ago with the first Cane Corso we had. It was the equivalent of a “lemon”. Our boy Sampson had the personality of a Corso and the look but he developed severe health problems and at two years old he could barely walk due to crippling hip Dysplasia. The next Cane Corso we bought we decided it wasn’t worth going cheap and value was much more important. We bought the best quality female we could find looking for proper genetics and started our program from her. Our goal is that other families don’t have this experience when buying from us. We breed for proper health and temperament along with beauty in mind every time. It’s an art! A quality breeding program is not cheap to create or maintain and it takes a lot of work to whelp and hand raise a litter, giving puppies proper socialization and attention. We breed quality Cane Corso puppies to standard reasonably priced for the average family.
