Here's my boy "Champ" he recently turned 2 years. At 93 lbs he's the total package! He's very close to the prototype for my program's goal...Add more size without losing drive. Check'em him out. | |

Very nice, Max! He looks like he can perform a variety of tasks. Do you do PP with him? Weight Pull? The reason I ask a/b weight pull is that his physique lends itself to it. Anyway, nice dog! | |

Dog looks great. He seems to have some cane corso blood. | |

No corso. He is down from pure "Chimera Kennels" stuff.
He was out of two dogs owned by Max and Max's brother that they got from us...Capo and China. Capo was Preacher x Bullette. China was Levi x Bandit. They bred Capo to China to produce Champ, and I like Champ a lot. He works very well and he is strong. Honestly though, he looks better to me in real life. I like the dog a LOT, but I am not impressed with those photos. I will try to get some photos of him that do him justice next time Max brings him over. He is an incredible dog for his age expecially. | |

Thanks...I haven't tried weight pulling, but he does PP. He hasn't been worked alot, by Lee and probably two other decoys(one being Johnny C.). He loves to please and being so drivey everything is a competition for him. He always seem to be trying his best, you can't ask for much more. I'm willing to try anything that will challenge my dogs(being I'm trying to achieve a goal in my program aiming at a very veastile dog). I'm kinda confident that he will excell in a variety of tasks. Thanks again Charles.
Tobi, the pics aren't that great, but I was curious onto what Cane Corso features you saw in him? Nothing against Corso(s) that's just not what I'm shooting for. Thanks.
Thanks, Lee, for the nice words and clarification. | |

Hi I am really sorry for this late reply i haven't had net access for a while. I thought he had some corso blood because of his stocky build especially the head, and the ear cropping seemed to have made him more corso looking. Looks like a dog that will knock someone down while fighting. Dogs like this make my wait to getting my next dog quite tortorus cos i know what i'm missing. Great dog!!!! | |

Thanks for the reply Tobi and the nice words. He's definitely a man stopper, but he's a tad smaller then I'd like, but I'm not complaining. He does every thing I ask of him. And his pedigree is excellent. I don't know if I'm going to ever repeat that breeding. I have already had two litters off those two particular dogs and they produced a number of good dogs I like both times. And they're all doing various tasks with their owners. Some farm dogs, security and PP, hunting, etc. the list goes on. And on some dogs I do a complete crop of the ears but it just depends on the dog. | |

I have some good pictures of him, but I have been very busy lately so I haven't posted them up yet. I will post them up this weekend. | |
