Carmine is our foundation male. I could write a book about this dog, I call him my once in a lifetime dog. He's a very special boy not only because of his pedigree and genetic make up but his disposition is incredible. He's a freak of nature type of Corso. He has an insane amount of prey drive, tons of confidence and very strong nerves. That combination is very rare in a Cane Corso. To me he is a true rustic working Cane Corso.
Carmine was the first dog that I trained in protection and has become one of the most titled working Cane Corso's alive. True testament to this dog because i'm not a greatest handler or trainer. :) Carmine is trained in advanced off leash obedience as well as protection. We have focused on training thats as realistic as possible for all our dogs. This means we prefer bite suit, civil and hidden equipment training versus bite sleeves. He has been tested in every possible way imagined from gunfire, trash cans, carjacking scenarios, fireworks, water, clatter sticks, obstacles, control to advanced agility, you name it, he's done it.
We are proud of all the working titles he has earned but none are as important as him earning his PSA PDC and APPDA EL in 2017. By far the most difficult test that takes a top notch dog and an equal amount of training to pass. He was able to get into the Working Cane Corso history books in 2017 by passing both his PSA PDC and APPDA EL on his 2nd attempt of each. Carmine became the 12th Cane Corso in the world to earn his PSA PDC and months later passed his APPDA EL and was High In Trial for Protection. (check the video section)
Camine was bred by Mary Vanecek (RIP) and comes from a long line of working Cane Corso's including notable dogs such as (2x) Del Rivale Mojo, Del Rivale Machiavelli and Del Rivale Xander.

Carmine is retired from working and breeding. We have some frozen semen stored that we plan to use in the coming years for in-house breedings.
Sonny was our keeper from Allie and Carmine's first litter. Sonny is higher drive and very eager to please Cane Corso. Structurally Sonny is a physical specimen. He is a very athletic Cane Corso thats long and tall with lots of muscle as you can see from the photo's. Not to many Cane Corso's have the athleticism and muscle tone this boy has. He has a very strong rear and good angulation for his functions.
Sonny was the first dog I took into the dog show ring. I put on a nice sweater and showed him myself. On his first weekend out he became an IABCA International Champion by earning three V1 ratings and multiple Best of Breed. I did this ultimately to have my dog evaluated by 3rd party expert judges that rate each dog against the breeds standard.
As a working dog and prodigy to his father, Sonny has followed pretty closely in Carmine's foots steps so far. Sonny is a highly confident Cane Corso that has also excelled in protection training. In 2019 Sonny was the only Cane Corso to compete and certify in a National Level K9 protection sport in the USA. He was also the only Cane Corso to successfully complete every scenario at the 2019 Misfits Mayhem competition which was VERY difficult real life scenarios (see video section). It's pretty amazing i'm able to put him in scenario's he's never seen before and he does whats asked of him (most of the time). At the 2017 ICCF Extravaganza he also won first place for most weight pulled.

Sonny is one of the top protection trained Cane Corso's in the world. In 2019 Sonny was casted in the preliminaries for America's Top Dog on AETV.
This is our up and coming boy Gino. He was our keeper from Sonny x Gia's first litter. Really like where he's headed from a training perspective. He's got big shoes to fill! Great mix of Sonny and Gia. Exactly what I was hoping for when we planned the breeding. Gino is a leg dog as well, meaning his primary target in bitework is the inside of the thigh. (Check the video section)
Stay tuned for whats in store for this boy as he matures.

We have been raw feeding for 8 years now. You can see the muscle tone partially due to genetics and conditioning but nothing is better for a dog than a balanced raw diet. We are huge advocates of feeding a raw diet.
This is our up and coming boy Leo. He is out of Legendary's Donatella BN RN CGCA TKN who is a Carmine X Allie Daughter and Notorious X Lorenzo who is a Notorious X Gotti son.
Stay tuned for whats in store for this boy as he matures.
