Stoic's calm warrior "Yasashi"
Choosing Stoic Kennels is definitely the best decision I made for my extreme love of the breed. They maintain a top line lineage that is best for the breed and future owners. But most importantly, I respect the fact that they wanted to know who the puppy would be going to before agreeing to let me purchase one which shows me they care more for the breed than a dollar sign which is amazing.

Stoic's Lilith
Working with Stoic Kennels to bring Lilith home was a wonderful experience. Their communication was, and still is, excellent. Our Cane Corso puppy came to us happy, healthy, socialized, and incredibly sweet. It is clear that Stoic truly cares about their dogs. Lilith has been the most amazing addition to our family, and we love her so much!

Stoic's All Hallow's Eve, "Halle"
Halle is truly an amazing Cane Corso. From her beautiful appearance and strong presence to her loyal and loving personality, she is everything you could ask for in the breed. She is intelligent, confident, and incredibly affectionate with the people she trusts. Halle has such a great temperament and carries herself with the strength and dignity that makes the Cane Corso such a special breed.
She is more than just a beautiful dog—she is a loyal companion and a wonderful part of our family. Anyone who has the opportunity to meet Halle can immediately see what makes her so special. I couldn’t be happier with her and would highly recommend a puppy from Stoic Kennel to anyone looking for a Cane Corso.

Stoic's Newman
Over the last twenty years, I have been selecting and training police working dogs and have been to several kennels throughout the country. When I decided to purchase a family dog I looked at several different breeders. When I contacted Stoic and went to see the litter, Trase amazed me with his knowledge and history of the breed. This included the research he had done on the pedigree and health of the parents and the healthcare of the puppies.
Perhaps the most impressive part of my purchase experience is Stoic Kennels is not a puppy mill. They truly care about the puppies and they make every effort to make sure the puppies are going to the right home. They take pride in the healthcare they provide and don't take the cheap route that some breeders take. They are great about keeping in contact with the families of these puppies and answer any questions.
We purchased Newman from Stoic Kennels and he is a healthy 80-pound boy (not even 8 months old)! He is very social and is great with other animals, including our grumpy cat. I would 100% recommend purchasing from Stoic!

With our pit bull turning 12, our family was considering to purchase a puppy, thinking we could have the older dog train the younger dog (how we do things in our household).
My husband had been researching different breeds of dogs. We had previously owned a Great Dane for 10 years and really enjoyed the breed. While my husband was researching, he started to send me pictures and videos of Cane Corsos and fell in love with the demeanor and things we were reading about the “guardian breed”.
We started to search out breeders and found Stoic Kennels. Upon contacting Stoic, we found they had a puppy available for a companion. Trase was very responsive to our questions and prompt to meeting us with the available puppy. The puppy knew basic commands and was trained to not use the bathroom in the house. During our visit she was obedient and very gentle with our 3 year old daughter who was super excited running around the yard. The transaction went very well and we felt very comfortable bringing her home.
We ended up naming her “Queen Athena”. Athena has such a great demeanor; she has the best personality and is very much a guardian of my three year old daughter.
We feel very fortunate to be able to have found Stoic Kennels and the genuine, versatility of the blood line in their Cane Corso’s.

Stoic's Queen Athena
Stoic's Cora
Adopting a Cane Corso is no small decision, and Stoic Kennels made it possible. My boyfriend and I adopted Cora at 14 weeks of age to serve as a therapy dog for PTSD, and she has proven herself to be intelligent, loyal, and healthy.
Now at seven months old, she is learning what it means to be a part of our family. Cora was one of the last puppies left, but at that point Trase had her nearly potty-trained, had given her shots, and we could tell that she was being raised in a healthy, stimulating environment, which was important to us.
Trase took the time to get to know us as well, and assessed whether our situation was right for a Cane Corso. They offered good advice to get us started, helped us understand the AKC pedigree, explained the breed to us, and told us that if Cora ended up not being a good fit, that we could bring her back. These are all traits that one should look for in a responsible breeder, especially with these powerful working dogs. Picking the right breeder is the very first step in having a healthy relationship with a new dog, and Stoic Kennels was definitely the right pick for us.
