Our love of the Cane Corso began over 15 years ago and it continues to grow with every dog we raise.
​
At PrideNJoyz, we are dedicated to producing well-balanced Cane Corso with exceptional temperament, structure, and health.
We are a preservation-focused, naturally rearing breeder. Our puppies are raised using the Puppy Culture methodology, which emphasizes early socialization, confidence building, and positive training methods. We also focus on a species-appropriate diet and a thoughtful approach to vaccinations.
We are committed to lifelong relationships with our puppy families. From the moment you bring your puppy home, we are here to support, educate and guide you every step of the way.
Because placement matters, we are selective about the homes we choose-and we encourage you to be just as selectie when choosing a breeder.
A well-raised Cane Corso reflects the time, training, and dedication invested by both the breeder and ower-and we are proud to be part of that journey with you.
​
We have had the pleasure of attending various events and visiting kennels throughout the world to expand our knowledge and friendships. We have served on the board of various dog clubs and volunteered with rescues over the years.
​


AVAILABLE & PLANNED
We are looking for active, committed families who want their Cane Corso to be more than just a pet - whether that's training, dog sports, or simple being a well-integrated member of the family.
Our goal is to place each puppy in a home that share our passion for the breed.
​
Some of our puppies may be placed in guardianship homes to help us continue improving our program. These homes must be committed to training, socialization and responsible ownership.
​
We do not sell our puppies with full breeding rights.
Updates on our upcoming litters will be posted soon. We recommend submitting a puppy application early to reserve your spot.
WHAT WE DO
About the Cane Corso
The Cane Corso is a powerful, intelligent guardian breed - and not the right fit for every household.
These dogs require structure, training, and confident leadership. In return, they are loyal, protective, and deeply devoted companions.
We carefully screen all potential families to ensure the right match for both puppy and owner.
Health and Longevity*
Health is a top priority in our program.
We perform extensive health testing beyond standard requirements to make informed breeding decisions and improve the breed long-term.
We also require out puppy families to complete health testing as their dog matures. This helps us track outcomes and continue producing healthier generations.

Natural Rearing Philosophy*
We take a holisitic approach to raising our dogs.
​
This includes minimizing exposure to unnecessary chemicals, feeding a raw diet, and supporting overall immune health.
​
We provide guidance to our puppy families so they can continue this lifestyle at home if they choose, which we hope they do.

Titles*
Titles on dogs provide evidence that our dogs can adapt to different surroundings, perform various duties and have a greater enjoyment of life. Titles are a way to honor the time and effort their families put into them long after the event is over. It helps families and dogs bond on a deeper level. We believe it is a symbol of pride in your Corso.

The Breed Standard
​
There are two breed standards that we believe in adhering to when it comes to the breed, AKC (American Kennel Club) and ENCI ( Ente Naziononale della Cinofila Italiana).
​
We breed toward the Italian standard while keeping the AKC standard in mind. You can find both standards online at the respective websites.

NEWS STAND
News & Updates
We try to stay active in the dog community whether it be dog shows, barnhunts, or just taking the dogs for a ride. We love that our puppy families are active with their Corso too. We like to find new and fun activities. Check out our blog to see what we are doing now.
Breed Proud
We can't help but be proud of all the Cane Corso that we have produced and the ones that we have owned (even the honorary ones). To support the breed we are passionate about, we have designed shirts, decals, and various other items for others to show off the breed!
Knowledge
​
We believe that knowledge is power and there is a lot of information out there. We try to share useful information, articles, videos or links that might help others with their dogs too.
