Cane Corso 
WE ARE THE FIRST IMPORTERS OF THE CANE CORSO FROM SICILY INTO THE UK
We have travelled extensively, meeting some of the top ITALIAN breeders and visiting shows to find, what in our opinion is the correct type of CANE CORSO.
After looking at all of the options, first we tried the UNITED STATES , then HOLLAND but decided to try and overcome the language barrier and go to the country of origin and visit some ITALIAN breeders.
During our stay we had a great time on our trips and saw some of the great and not so great CANE CORSOS in ITALY.
We visited with CRISTIAN & APPIE CREMASCHI of IL PARCO DEL PO kennels and were made to feel very welcome . Their dogs were some of the best that we have seen and the way they made us feel welcome was excellent . I tried to buy a female puppy from them but they knew she was great and kept her and now they are winning with her . Maybe thats why they are so successful.
On our travels we visited MASSIMO & NADIA FRASCARI and as soon as we saw the 1998 WORLD CHAMPION PACO we knew that we had to have pups from him , we acquired to females 1 black 1 brindle. they are all that we could have hoped for. Thank you for Gina and Maya.

Our next trip was to SICILY we had ordered 3 puppies from 2 separate litters, again they were all you could hope for , maybe more than you could hope for . We stayed with MICHELE LOJACONO who is the owner of DELL ABAZIA kennels, he shares his passion for the CANE CORSO with his nephew MARCO who was a great help with the language barrier. We were treated like kings and ate like kings , I have never seen so much food , we met the whole family sister brother cousins etc, it was an absolutely amazing experience and they had top class dogs to match this family as top class people .
Thanks MICHELE & MARCO for VITO, FRANCO & LUCIA

We also visited with NINO LETO in RIBERA, SICILY again we were made to feel very welcome and shown all of the dogs. We fell in love with an amazing black dog. he is perfection. We looked at some litters , but we did not need any more CANE CORSO we felt that we had enough to get started in the U.K . Then out toddles this grey, puppy 30 days old from the black male. GUESS WHAT we owned another CANE CORSO.
