Cane Corso breeder
RockHaven
is a small cane corso breeder located in the High Desert region of
southern California. It's are located 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles in
Hesperia, California. The summers are hot, the winters are cold and the
sunsets are unbelievably beautiful!
First and foremost, my dogs are my dogs. I have kennels for them, but they are not (and never will be) merely "kennel dogs." RockHaven's goal is to remain a small breeder that produces the best cane corsos in conformation and working ability. We will provide families and individuals with dogs that can fulfill the purposes for which they are needed. Being a working breed, nothing makes a corso happier than performing a job well done.
I originally got involved with this wonderful breed when I moved to a rural area with more land. Growing up, I had rescued dogs from animal control and the woods near my home where people would abandon/dump their unwanted dogs. However, this time, I needed a specific dog for a specific purpose. I had always wanted a "big dog" for protection and companionship, and now that I was out "on my own" I started researching various breeds that could secure the property. I had nearly settled on a German shepherd, but a friend recommended that I research cane corsos because they were great dogs. After several months of internet research and a couple of visits to breeders - I had found the perfect breed! Smart, discerning, intuitive, strong, graceful, no-nonsense, gentle, courageous, thinking, clever, funny, instense -- this breed had it all! They are like potato chips - you can't have just one! From that time forward, my love of the breed expanded, as did the desire to preserve and improve it. Because of this, RockHaven dogs will always be bred with temperament, structure and type as top priorities.
Bringing out the Best in Our Dogs
This phrase serves as one of our founding principles. I believe that just as each person has talents and a purpose, so does each one of the dogs. They each have different and favorite skills which I foster and develop in each one: Atlas loves children, protection work, & guarding the house. Solomon loves to run with a bicycle and bask in the spotlight at shows. Lakota is special with her amazing ability to read people with illness and needs. Mona is already learning how to track a scent with great accuracy. These dogs need a job to do. It is one of my greatest joys to discover their skills and help them along the way!
I encourage you to contact me with any questions you have have about the wonderful cane corso!
