Our Mission: Reshaping the Cane Corso Narrative

Gus and Mia are living proof that the Cane Corso is defined by love and loyalty, not the aggressive stereotypes often portrayed.

Our mission is to foster a global community of educated owners and responsible breeders to ensure these magnificent dogs are understood and respected.

By sharing our journey, we aim to prove that within every powerful guardian is a devoted best friend

Our Journey to the Perfect Guardian!

In 2020, our family was growing, and we set out to find the perfect guardian dog. After researching everything from German Shepherds to English Mastiffs, we found Fortuna Cane Corso in Fontana, CA. Meeting the breeder, Joe, was a pivotal moment; his genuine care for his dogs and their calm demeanor around children convinced us immediately. That's how we brought home our first beloved Corso, Gus.

Meet Gus: The Gentle Soul

Gus is the ultimate "couch potato". While he loves his leisurely walks, he is just as happy lounging around and soaking up affection from everyone he meets. His gentle, loving nature has made him a cherished member of our family as we've expanded over the years.

Enter Mia: The Energetic Little Sister

By 2023, we knew Gus needed a companion. We reached out to Joe again, but since he didn't have a litter available, we connected with celebrity breeder Max Tran from Maximos Kennels. Max was incredibly genuine, answering every question we had—and he still does to this day.

Enter Mia: the complete opposite of her brother. She is full of energy, always exploring, and definitely lets you know if she isn't getting enough attention. Together, Gus and Mia have shown us the true joy of the Cane Corso breed.
