Q. & A. with Shauna
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased a family companion and fell in love with the Corso. It compelled me to create a program with high standards, that would contribute positively to the breed. Our goal is to produce the best dogs in the world with correct, functional structure, health tested pedigrees and solid Temperaments.What makes your program special?
We are a top winning/titled kennel with a reputation of accomplishment. We breed litters, puppies, that are not retained, are sold on a spay/neuter contract. There are generations of health testing and titles behind every litter. We extensively screen clients to be sure they are right for the breed. After purchase, Clients enjoy years of support and customer service.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
