What we breed for

A guardian breed, bred deliberately

Motorhead Cane Corso is a small program in Thomson, Georgia. We breed our own dogs, we own them, and we show them ourselves. That last part is the point: every dog we breed from has been judged against the breed standard by people with no stake in our kennel.

Health first

Our dogs are health tested before they are bred. Structure and soundness come before anything cosmetic.

Temperament you can live with

A Corso is a guardian breed. We breed for the steady, discerning temperament that makes that safe in a family home.

Proven in the ring

Breeder-owner-handled to national-level wins, which keeps our breeding stock measured against the standard rather than against opinion.

Support for the dog’s life

Guidance on training, nutrition and socialisation, and a breeder who answers the phone years later.

Dollie is by Trailheads Drake, out of Trailheads Chella.

Dollie was Motorheads first Owner-handled show dog. From the time she was 4 weeks old she was an over achiever for everything.

Dollie was certainly one of a kind and I will forever be grateful for all that she taught me and that I taught her. She started it all for Motorhead from the show ring to performance events and our largest win that I am still humble to this day for — Royal Canin Best of Opposite and Best Bred by Exhibitor as well as Best of Opposite Owner Handled.

We achieved so much in her 7 years and I feel it would have been so much more if I had not made the decision to spay her after her biggest achievement ~ becoming a mother of 18 babies all in one litter! Her litter became to be known as the Divine Dozen and a Half “Fast n Furious” litter.

Dollie always was an over achiever and will forever be in my heart and live on in the spirits of Motorhead Cane Corso.

  • Royal Canin wins dated 2018 on TWO independent pieces of her own evidence: the ring sign in her photograph reads 'BEST OF OPPOSITE — AKC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW — DECEMBER 2018 — Don Meyer Photo', and the ShowSight Magazine spread (January 2019 issue) lists them as 2018. Her email said 2019; the year was dropped while it was unresolved and is now restored to 2018.

We got sweet Zoey (baby of Star) 3 years ago from Motorhead Cane Corso. Communication with the breeder was great throughout the process. She loves her dogs and is a very responsible breeder.

Motorhead Cane Corso replied:Thank you Polly, that grandpup loves you so much and thank you for trusting us to provide your son with his best friend. I can't wait til the day we add another to your family.

We absolutely adore Michelle and our Willow girl! I love knowing she is a good, reputable breeder who takes great care of her fur babies and continues to check on them throughout their lives and is not just producing dogs in her garage like some “breeders”. I highly recommend Motörhead Cane Corso!!
