Killing Joke Cane Corsos -

For over a decade we have been raising, handling, competing, and breeding these dogs. We have learned some of the hardest lessons in our puppy purchasing history. We have been scammed, purchased genetically and phenotypically incorrect dogs from breeders with a good smile and a salesman's wit. When we decided to get into breeding, we did so with the intention of producing a line of corsos bred for the average family but with the guarantees and prerequisite health and temperament testing that should be well established and evaluated prior to any breeding. We wanted these dog’s known for their versatility and original functionality with even temperaments and exceptionally healthy genetics to start with. We pride ourselves on our robust puppy packages you won't find often which includes our 24-month health guarantee and life-long support to the puppies we produce and the clients who adopt them. We are conveniently located in the heart of Texas within short driving distance from Waco, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, DFW, and surrounding areas of central Texas. We offer transportation, payment plans, and early reservations. Feel free to reach out to us for further particulars.

Rescue/Rehabilitation Services

We strive to be an advocate for our breed and have opened our kennel to cane corsos in need of a well-deserved 2nd chance. Though we are not a full time rescue organization, nor do we claim 501(c)(3) status, we do it as a way of giving back to the breed we know and love.

Hips and Elbows

All breeding dogs undergo X-ray evaluation of their elbows and hips via Pennhip and OFA preliminary certification prior to 24 months. At 2 years old they undergo a final OFA certification of the hips and elbows with new X-ray. Any dogs not passing evaluation will not be bred.

DNA breed purity, DM, & CMR1

All breeding dogs are Embark DNA tested for breed purity and to detect any one of the 210 disease variants they are tested for, in particular Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and Canine Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1).

DSRA

All breeding dogs are DNA tested via Genomia as they are only 1 of 2 labs that can test for the DSRA variant which is specific to the Cane Corso breed and is a fairly new genetic anomaly. The life expectancy of a dog with DSRA is short and painful. Though it takes 2 copies of the gene to produce it, we will not breed a dog with even one copy of this variant.
