Killing Joke Cane Corsos -

We are a veteran-owned and operated small preservation kennel with 12+ years of experience with the cane corso breed. We have worked these dogs in a variety of settings from pushing cattle to winning the show ring so we pride ourselves on our hands-on, real-world knowledge of our beloved breed. We have been victims of greedy “breeders” who’s bottom-line was the amount of money they could make with little to no thought put into building a healthy, sane, and phenotypically correct production. Our bottom-line is producing positive additions to the cane Corso breed. We wanted our dog’s known for their versatility and original functionality with even temperaments and exceptionally healthy genetics to start with. We have taken the lessons learned and built a robust puppy package you will not find commonly. We are conveniently located in the heart of Texas within a 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.
