About Rebecca
I am a small family owned kennel in Central, IL. I am a veterinary assistant part time and a stay at home mom/dog mom the rest of the time. Our puppies are raised in our home with our family along with all of our adult dogs. We are not a "traditional" kennel as our dogs are with us 24/7. We take pride in our dogs & puppies.
What makes Rebecca’s program special
All of our dogs & puppies are raised in our home with my family. We are not your traditional "kennel" as people think. We health and temperament test all of our dogs as well as having our dogs earn titles in conformation and weight pulling most of the time before they are bred. Our dogs are apart of our family and I take pride in knowing my babies make others just as happy as we are.

Why Rebecca started breeding
Working at a veterinary clinic I was introduced to the breed 7 years ago. I instantly fell in love and started a friendship with my mentor/breeder. We started showing dogs in conformation and weight pull together until I finally received a Corso of my own. From then on my love of them grew and I plunged into learning a much as I could and breeding the best.
