Looking for CC breeder recommendations!

[Danni.B]

Hello! I currently have a 7 yo CC girl who is absolutely fantastic and have decided it might be a good time to get a puppy. The most important considerations for me are health and temperament. Ideally, I want a laid-back, confident, kid-friendly dog that would be happy relaxing with me at home or going for a run on the trails and doing some agility.

A couple of breeders that I've been eyeing are Firehorse and About Time - if anyone who has experience with either of those would be willing to share their opinion that would be fantastic, or if you've got a different recommendation I'd love to hear that as well. I do live in western washington so a reputable breeder with solid dogs that lives closer would be nice, but I'm pretty resigned to the idea of needing to look further afield.

As a sidenote, I did learn that I'm pregnant recently which has made me question the timing a bit, but I have been wanting to get a CC pup for years now and I figure there's always going to be something going on in life that will make the timing less than ideal. I am fully committed to my pets and don't believe in disposable dogs, so this really isn't something I'd be jumping into on a whim. Anyway, I bring it up because I do wonder if this is something that would raise red flags for a good breeder and be a deal-breaker?

Well Kansas isn't exactly close but my friend Reese with Brimstone Cane Corso just had a beautiful litter
all of her dogs have the best temperments I have seen nothing but good come out of her program.

We got Enzo from Integrity Cane Corso in Indiana. The breeder (Chad) has been nothing short of amazing and has been readily available for all of my questions (he is my first CC and is very different than dogs I've had in the past). I know that Chad has a few small children and his dogs get a lot of family interaction. Enzo came to us with good mannors. His next litter wont be until late spring, I believe, but I would recommend him without hesitation and will be getting a future puppy from him. He does not have a website but he does have an instagram account, which is where I found him. @integritycanecorso. Good luck and congratulations on the future baby and puppy!

About time, I've never heard bad things, I think they have beautiful dogs, the owners themselves seem a bit odd to me, but hey I'm not interested in them but their dogs right. They also made a little stink I know of in the corso community because according to them a very popular picture on the net of a black corso stalking through the snow, looks like a panther and a mastiff had a baby, awesome pic, anyway it started getting used all over the net they say it was their flagship male and they would search for the pic and threaten legal action if not removed. Again quirks with the people not the dogs

I would have posted the pic but I don't want them climbing up my butt over it lol

It is a cool picture, panther and mastiff baby is the perfect explanation. That dog is a beast! Also, Enzo's grandsire is from Maximo kennel in Califonia (Max Tran) I know they have a current litter and their dogs seem to be of good qualit

I believe the dogs name was Chaos, well About Time's Chaos and yes he was such a beast they still use his name when selling his grand kids and past

I have no personal dealing in regards to dogs from About Time but have talked to Ron and Jen from Firehorse extensively and have used two of their studs in my program and I am satisifed with the results that I have gotten. I used both Oak and Dorian and they were lovely males to meet and provided good prospects for the foundation in my kennel. They are great and knowledgeable people to deal with in regards to the breed.

Ahh, that picture is pretty amazing! Thanks so much for comments everyone! I will check out those other breeders and it's good to hear that the two I was looking at are good. I thought they should be, but it's always a bit iffy trusting the internet too much and much more reassuring to hear from some outside sources.
