As summer in Kansas finally comes to an end, we are drawing closer to announcing our Fall breeding plans for 2023. This year Lyra will be the only breeding that will take place. Initially, we intended to breed Bugatti as well, but as you have probably discovered that will not happen. As responsible breeders, we just can’t bring ourselves to breed Bugatti with her hips scores as terrible as they are.
We planned to breed a repeat litter between Lyra and Tiernan, but with Tiernan’s unexpected death, that plan fell through. I guess you could say our kennel has been hit hard with adversity this year. Truthfully, it has been extremely difficult to keep focused on our goals, but we will get through these difficult times.
At this time, we will not release any specific information about the male we intend to use. We truly just don’t want to bring any more “bad luck” to our kennel. We can tell you this: The male we intend to use is owned by friends of ours who own a horse farm in the area. His sire is an AKC Grand Champion and Dam is an International Champion. His hips were evaluated through Pennhip, and his scores place him in the top 5% for the breed, right alongside Lyra. He has an excellent head, great movement, and an outstanding temperament to match.
We expect that this breeding will produce a litter of puppies with excellent/stable temperaments. The male’s head should compliment Lyras. Both Lyra and the mystery male have excellent movement. Finally, it is our hope that with both Lyra and the male scoring in the top 5% for the breed in hip scores, their puppies will have excellent hips as well. It is also worth mentioning the excellent pedigree and genetics possessed by both dogs.
Clearly, we are excited about this breeding. We have developed a great friendship as well as networked with another Cane Corso kennel that shares similar goals as we do. Once we have a confirmed pregnancy, we will happily share the sire's identity.
Currently, we are forming a waitlist for this litter. There are six people on this list so far. Once we have a confirmed litter, we will reach out to those on the waitlist, in the order they have requested to be placed on the waitlist. Only at this point will we accept deposits on a puppy. Puppy picks will then be made in the order that the deposits are received. There is no charge or cost to be placed on the waitlist.
