Females
Mad River's Mona Lisa di RockHaven
DOB: 10/9/2009
26" at the withers & 110lbs
Pedigree
Dam: Scandifio's Tia di Mad River
Sire: Nitro VDL
Hips: OFA Excellent!
Mona is our worker of bunch. She prides herself on being very smart, serious, and fabulous. She has loved to track and hold on to the bite pillow since a young girl. We put a tracking foundation on her at 5 months of age, ad she will still track an intruding varmint in the yard. She is aloof to strangers---doesn't give them the time of day, and is a total love-bug to close friends. She has prey drive, determination, and unmatched loyalty.
Mona is thick with lots of bone. She had very fluid movement, nice angulation and a beautiful head.

Rockhaven's Eastern Star
"STAR"
Star is out of Tia and CH Scandifio's Vito di Peretti. She was Tia's last puppy, in a litter of (1) October 2011. She is a little TANK just like Tia. She has a shorter thick build, dense bone, and happy temperament. I call her my "Nothin' get a girl down", Star. She is a drivey little gal! In her obedience, she thinks it all sorts of fun to do the "back up" command by leaping backwards from a "sit" recall position.

Scandifio's Tia di Mad River
Tragically, we lost Tia summer 2012 due
to a random internal abcess & spinal infection. Despite the best
treatment from top canine neurologists at Texas A&M University, she
didn't make it. She was SO strong and tough, that we only saw faint
signs of illness a couple of days before the infection had spread too
far. It is now up to her last daughter, Rockhaven's Eastern Star to carry on her legacy. Star is SO MUCH like Tia!
RIP my wonderful Tia.

Tia is probably one of the best producers in the breed today. She has produced females that have been the foundation to several breeders' programs in the US. RockHaven is very lucky to have (2) Tia Girls- Mona and Star.
She is an absolute sweetheart! Those soulful eyes, say it all! Despite have been a kennel dog most of her life, we have quickly found that she is most happy snoring on the sofa, sniffing around the yard, or letting her puppies hang on her lips. She is extremely instinctual in all ways, and the best mother a puppy could ask for. She truly loves being a mamma! We have even heard her "humming" a pup to sleep, and "making" toys for them! She has large bone, fluid movement, and a fantastic temperament.
RockHaven's AtlasAtlas is my very first corso. Very intiutive, a smart guard dog, loving, friendly, yet discerning when it comes to strangers. Being that this was the first dog I had ever "bought" in my life, I was not savvy enough to ask all the right questions of the breeder, and never received any paperwork on her. Therefore, I never bred one of the greatest corsos I've ever known. She is now at my parent's house in Indiana keeping my Dad company by snoozing on their sofa and going on evening walks.
Mad River's Lakota di RockHavenLakota is my "healer" of the group. She is very sensitive to people with illnesses or mental disorders. She even has her own "signal" to indicate when someone has an illness of note. I have seen her do this with disabled children and even judges in the AKC show ring. It's almost as if she "feels" the problem hones in on it.
She has very solid obedience, and enjoys to work in any fashion. She loves to play, run fast, and mess with the chickens on the other side of the fence (she doesn't try to eat them, but finds great entertainment in ruffling their feathers!).
