An AKC & ICCF Registered
Cane Corso  Kennel
Located in Wichita Kansas

Week one has come and gone, and it’s still freezing cold in the Wichita Kansas area.  Raising and competing with the Cane Corso can be a challenge at times, and the sub-zero temperatures absolutely do not help.  Throw in a massive litter of puppies and the challenges are magnified. We wanted to use this blog post as an opportunity to update those who have placed a deposit to secure a puppy.  We also want to keep anyone else who is following along updated as well.  The Luxe x Brennus litter has been officially registered with the AKC.  Due to the incredible size of this litter, the AKC required a picture to prove Luxe really did in fact, give birth to the number of puppies we attempted to register.  This was not an inconvenience at all, it merely took 1 picture of all the pups which was emailed to the AKC, and within minutes, the litter was confirmed and registered.  Registering this litter is important to us, and it should be to the families who have chosen us to provide them with their new family members.  Each one of the puppies in this litter will come with official AKC registration. As far as an update goes, there is not too much to report.  The pups still have their eyes and ears closed and they are still learning to crawl.  Not much in the way of personality can be assessed at this time.  The pups have had their tails docked and they are healing well, with no complications.  it is safe to say the pups are growing and Luxe is doing a great job.  We are doing our best to ensure each puppy is receiving the nourishment it needs to grow.  Sometimes this means weighing each pup two to three times a day and stepping in with homemade puppy formula when needed.  Sleep has been rare, but we have no doubt the results will be well worth all the work. Things will start moving pretty fast from this point forward.  The pups will begin to open their eyes and ears, and then they’ll start learning to walk.  We intend to document as much of this process as possible. Soon “personalities” will develop, and we will have a better understanding of what each pup will likely turn into as an adult.  Please keep in mind that puppy picks will be made no sooner than 6 weeks of age.  After picks are made, there will “only” be two more weeks of waiting until these pups join their families.  We anticipate a going-home date around the first weekend of March. On a more fun note, we have named each of the pups.   Of course, these names are not permanent, they are simply a way for us and for you to identify them by something more than just their collar color.  As previously noted, due to the circumstances around the birth of this litter, we have chosen names that we feel complement the litter theme.  Without further ado, here are the pups of the Winter Wonders litter: Boys: The blue-collar boy is now Denali.  Denali is the highest mountain peak in North America/Alaska: The orange collar boy is now Oller.  Oller is the “Norse god of the winter”: The green-collar boy is now Boreas.  Boreas is the “Greek god of the North wind”: The yellow-collar boy is now Aquilo. Aquilo is the “Roman god of the cold”: Girls: The purple collar is now Demetria.  Demetria is the “Greek goddess of the winter.” The light blue-collar girl is now Elsa. Yeah, we get it, that name has been played out, but you try coming up with 13 names related to the winter, with a seven-year-old girl in the house, who must have her opinion taken into consideration…. The teal and yellow-collar girl is now Ana.  You guessed it, Elsa and Ana…. The light pink is now Chione.  Chione is the “Greek goddess of the snow.” The maroon collar girl is now Neve.  Neve is the Irish word for snow. The lavender collar girl is now Aisi (pronounced "icey").  Aisi is Polynesian, meaning ice. The tan-collar girl is now Yuki.  Yuki is Japanese for snow. The pink-collar girl is now Aspen.  Aspen, Colorado.  Colorado is cold this time of year too.. The light blue-collar girl is now Morana.  Morana is the “goddess of cold.”

What did you do on your snow day?  No one on this blog post wants to hear about the blizzard or losing power in the middle of the night.  No one wants to hear about no water or heat, no lights, no one wants to hear about whelping a litter of puppies while your family has the flu.  No, what everyone came here to read about is the arrival of the “Winter Wonders” litter. Luxe went into labor overnight, sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m, Monday night into Tuesday morning, the power went out and Luxe went to work.  We were awakened to the sound of puppies yelping around 4 in the morning and quickly made our way to Luxe, who was tending to two new-born puppies in her whelping box.  The lack of heat, electricity and running water did not slow Luxe down, so we couldn’t let it slow us down either. After approximately 18 straight hours of labor, we are happy to welcome the Luxe X Brennus litter into world.  13 pups in total, 4 boys and 9 girls.  We thought it would be appropriate to name this litter the “Winter Wonders.” We hope you enjoy the puppy pictures we have attached for this litter and follow along with them as they grow and eventually join their new families.  These puppies are from AKC Champion bloodlines and we expect excellent temperament and structure.  If you are interested in a puppy, please reach out.  We still have pups available.  We have attached a link for Luxe and Brennus on our team page, along with a link to their pedigrees, as well as a “virtual pup” link so you can view the pups pedigrees all in one place.  Lastly, we have attached a link that will take you to our puppy application. Thanks for stopping by, we hope you’ll continue to check in for weekly pupdates.

We don't have much to update this time, just a copy of an X-ray taken of Luxe today. Her vet visit well and while we had already confirmed her pregnancy by way of a relaxin test, it is nice to also get a puppy count. The picture above was taken with one of our cell phones so the quality does not quite transfer to this post. It does give everyone an idea of what we are dealing with, and that is anywhere from 11 to 13 puppies. We expect these pups to be born next week, around January 10, 2024. Under normal circumstances, once a pregnancy has been confirmed we will accept deposits on two males and two females. Due to the size of this litter, we have opened up deposits for 4 males and 4 females. With that said, we have already accepted deposits on two males and two females, so we have two more spots for each remaining. Please reach out if you would like to place a deposit on one of the puppies Luxe's team profile: https://www.vvcanecorsos.com/team/vae-victis-patience-is-a-virtue Luex's pedigree database link: https://canecorsopedigree.com/view_pedigree?id=106761 Brennus' team profile: https://www.vvcanecorsos.com/team/senza-tempo's-enemy-of-rome Brennus' pedigree database link: https://canecorsopedigree.com/view_pedigree?id=110679

You may or may not have heard, but another Vae Victis litter is on the way! We were able to confirm via a Relaxin test that Luxe and Brennus are expecting pups!! This is a very exciting litter for us, and the first litter for both Luxe and Brennus. As we pass the halfway point for this litter’s gestation period, day 39 to be exact from the first breeding, we wanted to take a few minutes to briefly provide a summary of why we have chosen to pair Brennus with Luxe.  After all, we aren’t out here just pairing two dogs, with the hope that everything will turn out “good.”  Each of our pairings has been carefully considered, many times repeatedly, before the actual breeding takes place. Again, this will be a brief summary… 1.      Temperament.  Temperament is paramount to us when dealing with the Cane Corso.  Luxe is the product of our prior breeding between Tiernan and Lyra.  Anyone who had the pleasure of interacting with Lyra or Tiernan will tell you how great their temperaments were.  Tiernan in particular had the ideal Corso temperament, he was an absolute gentle giant with his family, yet at the same time, he was extremely protective of his family, especially at home.  Luxe is the same way, she is playful with her family & friends, but an excellent protector at the same time.  Luxe is the “alpha” of the pack, which is a trait she inherited from her mother, Lyra.  Brennus, is as gentle as they come.  He is quick to step up when a threat is perceived but also quick to goof off and have a good time.  We believe the result of this breeding will produce puppies that possess temperaments similar to their parents, which is exactly what we want. Stable, gentle with family and friends, but protective of those family and friends with strangers or perceived threats. 2.      Complementary.  Our philosophy is to pair two dogs that complement each other.  In other words, where one dog is weak in a particular area, find a mate that is strong in that area.  For example, in this pairing, structurally speaking, we believe Luxe possesses a LOT of substance, she is a large female with a lot of bone.  While we are not breeding for size, we believe one area that Brennus lacks, is in his substance.  He is by no means small, but he could use a little more bone.  On the other hand, Brennus has movement that is rarely seen in the Corso breed, he almost glides.  Luxe could use improvement in this area.  We believe that this pairing, will produce dogs that have a combination of Luxes substance and Brennus’ movement. It is truly a balancing act, but we believe this pairing will produce the desired results. 3.      Finally, The future. When it is all said and done, our goal is to improve the dogs we produce with each breeding.  We strive to produce dogs that will not only contribute to our breeding program, but will also make a positive impact on the breed over-all.  If we can do that, while at the same time provide families with the best dog they’ve ever owned, our mission will have been accomplished. We have attached a link to the “virtual breeding” between Vae Victis Patience Is A Virtue (AKA Luxe) and Senza Tempo’s Enemy Of Rome (AKA Brennus), for you to help expand on the reasons we have given above.  Please, take time to click on the link and review the dogs in both of their pedigrees.  In Luxes pedigree you will find some very well-known dogs.  Many of those dogs, including both of her parents, have earned champion titles in conformation.  Tiernan was a dual, AKC/UKC Champion and also earned his AKC DCAT title.  Lyra is a UKC Champion and was ranked as the number 10 Cane Corso in 2021, she has also earned her AKC BCAT title.  On Brennus’ side, you will see that he is a direct import from Europe.  He comes from one of the best-known Cane Coros kennels in the world.   These puppies will be a product of legitimate “Champion Bloodlines.” As always, please reach out if you have any questions, and don’t hesitate to fill out our contact form or puppy application if you are interested in one of these puppies.  We anticipate puppies that will turn out large, with excellent structure and most importantly unbeatable temperaments.  Puppies are due on January 10, 2024, (give or take a few days).

It seems like just yesterday that we were scrambling to deal with and prepare for an unexpected and unplanned litter.  That was almost 3 months ago and there is no reason to continue to dwell on that situation, to do so would be nothing more than “beating a dead horse.”  After all, a lot of good came out of that litter. We reached this point with mixed emotions.  On the one hand, we are happy that the puppies were successfully placed in the most loving homes we could have possibly found.  On the other hand, we are sad to say that the purple collar female we came to know as “Bebe” unfortunately did not make it to her forever home.  If we had a third hand, the word “exhausted” would be the appropriate description of how we are feeling.   Anyone who has raised a litter of pups knows very well what we are talking about, perhaps sharing a few lessons learned would be appropriate: 1.      Vici was the youngest female to produce a litter in our kennel.  There seems to be a definitive difference between a mature mother whelping and raising her litter vs an immature female such as Vici. Vici’s labor went smoothly, there were no issues or real concerns we’d say it was the ideal delivery.  Unfortunately, it took several days and nights of hand feeding, cleaning, and caring for the pups before Vici seemed to understand she had a job to do.  We’re not saying Vici was a bad mother, she just seemed to lack the maturity of an older female. 2.      Time and Money!  Many people don’t realize the amount of time and money that goes into raising a litter of pups.  As mentioned above, we cared for Vici and her pups around the clock for the first three to four days and we weren’t able to let our guard down for the next few weeks.  The small things like washing bedding, and providing food and veterinary care came as a shock to Vici's owner, it was a good eye-opening experience for him.  Additionally, the non-stop cleaning, washing, and sanitizing are seldom mentioned. 3.      The hardest part?  Letting them go home to their new families.  We already knew this, but it was a great reminder.  One of our primary goals in breeding is to place our puppies in the best homes possible. This means filtering through countless puppy applications.  Countless hours of observation and desensitization to ensure the right pup goes to the right home.  There would be nothing worse than sending a high-drive puppy to a family who wants a companion to spend the days watching TV on the couch. 4.      Last, and this one is more of a reaffirmation of what we already knew, the best part of this whole thing is helping people experience what we believe is the best breed in existence.  This is truthfully somewhat of a contradiction to #3, but it’s the truth.  If we didn’t truly believe the Cane Corso was the best breed ever, we would not try to share our love for them with as many people as possible. In closing, we are excited to watch these puppies grow into the gorgeous dogs we know they will be. Both Vici and Narco are built exceptionally well and despite the negative circumstances surrounding this breeding, the pair produced some excellent pups both structurally and temperamentally. We are thrilled to have formed 8 new friendships in the families that found their new furry family member in one of these pups.  We are grateful for the lessons learned, good or bad.  We are excited to see what the future holds not only for our new families and their pups but for our kennel as well as two of the pups who are now proudly co-owned with us. We are excited to introduce Vae Victis Goddess of the Night, formerly the teal-collar female, who now goes by Nyx and her owner Ms. Sweany, and Vae Victis Odin Konstantinos Gorgo Alcinder, the blue-collar male, who now goes by Odin and his owner MS. Stewart as part of the Vae Victis team! We hope you enjoy the puppy pictures that are attached to this post.  We intend for this post to the be last in this series, however, we will continue to post updates on this litter on our website and our social media platforms.

At 4 weeks old these puppies are a handful. Each one of them is growing fast and developing their own unique personality. We usually try to make a Sunday post and include individual pictures for each puppy, but to be honest, that is getting more and more difficult to do. The pups simply will not sit still long enough to have their pictures taken. We are going to post a few pictures today and then come back over the next few days to include more pictures. To the families who have chosen to place your trust in us, we sincerely thank you! Things are going to start moving very fast, pups are growing and we plan to make picks in two weeks. A milestone worth mentioning is the pups have started on puppy mash and have been de-wormed twice now. They are due for their first round of shots in two weeks. Unless otherwise specified by their future families, the pups will go in for their ear crop on November 21st. As usual, We will keep everyone updated as things progress. There are still a few pups available in this litter, to select homes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!! Candids: Blue Collar Male, 4 Weeks. We are really excited with the way this young man is turning out. The blue boy is confident and well built. When he's not hanging out with his litter mates, he loves spending time with his two legged family. Yellow Collar Male, 4 Weeks: Cool, confident and laid back. Yellow still maintains his role as one of the leaders of the pack, he is confident and always ready to interact. Orange Collar Male, 4 Weeks. One word to describe this guy, "Ravenous". This guy lives to eat. Which may mean he will be food-driven as he grows into a gorgeous Corso. Green Collar Male. The green boy is the adventurous one. He might not be the biggest, but he is definitely confident. Purple Collar Female at 4 weeks old. This girl is the sweetest and most photogenic of the litter. Pink Collar Female, 4 weeks old. This girl is playful, out-going and spunky. She is the first of the girls to make her presence known and is always ready to play. Teal Collar Female, 4 Weeks: Last, but certainly not least, teal girl! Probably the most dominant of the females, she is outgoing and confident.

The puppies are now three weeks old. They are growing so fast and are becoming more interactive. Eyes and ears are open on all the pups and they are learning to use their voices. The best part is watching them learn how to be pups. Attached are a few group pictures and a few individual pictures of each pup. We still have availability to approved homes. Please contact us if you have any questions. The Girls: The Teal Collar Female is the largest and at this point the most dominant of the three girls, here are a few of her pictures: The Pink Collar Female is the mid sized female. At this point pink is outgoing and seems very inquisitive, her pics are below: The Purple Collar Female is the smallest out of the females. She is very laid back, loves to snuggle and is quite possibly the most photogenic of the girls: The Boys: The Orange Collar male is the largest of the litter. At this point he seems very laid back and ready to snuggle. The Yellow Collar male at this point is by far the most dominant of the litter. In between eating and naps, he spends his time picking on each of his litter mates. It's still very early in his development, but if this continues he will need to be placed with an experienced home/handler. The Blue Collar male is the third largest male in the litter. He has a great head and personality wise at this point, seems to be laid back. The Silver Collar male is the smallest of the boys. What he lacks in size (for now), he makes up for in his adventurous personality. He is always the first to sneak away when the opportunity presents itself. The Green Collar male is the "go-getter" of this litter. Mr. Green was the first of the litter to walk, bark and howl. Cadids:

The puppies are officially 2 weeks old! Things are starting to change fast, the pups' eyes are open and they are all learning to walk. They are even becoming more vocal adding barks and howls to their usual whines when their mom leaves them for a break. All the pups and Vici are doing great. We are finally getting to the fun part, where we can take the pups out of the whelping box for a little early socialization/desensitization. Clearly, the girls are loving their time with the pups. We still have availability on this litter to approved homes, please reach out if you have any questions.

The puppies are officially one week old! While they are still at the point where there really arent that many changes, we are happy to share they they are all growing steadily, tails have been docked and eyes should be opening soon. We hope you enjoy the attached pics, we will continue to update this post throughout this week. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us here:

Around noon on Sunday, October 1st, 2023, Vici delivered her first puppy. It was a black male with white on his chest. From that point, Vici went on to deliver 7 more puppies in total. We have 5 black males and 3 black females. We will use this blog post to continually update the status of the litter. We are pleased with this litter and expect the pups to be of excellent quality. Narco is an AKC/International champion and is well on his way to his DCAT title. Vici’s mother and Father hold multiple Champion titles in Italy/Europe. We have high hopes for this litter, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Those who have contacted us, inquiring about an all-black litter, this is the one you’ve been waiting for, we have had a busy night, but will contact you shortly. In the meantime, here is a “group” picture of Vici and her babies… First week with us!! Narco X Vici, puppy pedigree: 7

Another weekend of FastCAT has come to an end for Vae Victis Cane Corso. We are grateful to the Wichita Kennel Club for hosting such an exciting and well-run event. Over the years our dogs have participated in almost every FastCAT event held in the state of Kansas and it has been great to watch the events grow in popularity. Unfortunately, it appears that this event will be the last FastCAT event held in the Wichita Kansas area in 2023. One of the unique opportunities the Wichita Kennel Club offers is a special rosette for any breed that has six or more pre-entries. For this event, we entered Bugatti, Amarula, Narco and Vici. Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, Vici did not compete. In addition to the pre-entries by Team Vae Victis, Loveland’s Royal Cane Corsos entered two of their Corsos, Tut and Nala. With the addition of their two dogs, we were able to reach the six pre-entry requirements for Saturday’s runs. A day or two before the event, we were contacted by Finn’s owners and made aware that they were going to join in and planned to enter Finn into two “fun runs.” Additionally, one of Tiernan’s puppies, Toro brought his owner down from the Kansas City area to hang out and get to know some of the Corso people in the Wichita area. Lastly, a special thanks to the Knorr family for making the trip down from the Kansas City area to hang out, catch up, and offer a few extra sets of hands. They have made the drive to three separate FastCAT events and have made these events so much easier for Team Corso. Coming into this weekend's event, Bugatti had 360.9 points toward her DCAT title and was ranked sixth place, her three fastest speeds averaged 25.96 miles per hour. Initially, we only entered Bugatti for the Saturday runs. That plan changed when on her first attempt Bugatti ran the 100-yard course in 7.34 seconds/27.87 miles per hour. On her second attempt, Bugatti was timed at 7.53 seconds/27.16 miles per hour. We expected Bugatti’s times to be good, but not this good so we decided to come back the next day and allow her to run two more times on Sunday. On Sunday, Bugatti started with a 7.56 second/27.06 mph run and finished the day with a 7.41 second/27.60 mph run. Needless to say, we are pleased with her performance. By averaging Bugatti’s three fastest runs for this year, which were all completed at this event, Bugatti’s new average speed is 27.54 miles per hour!! Assuming no other dog has recorded faster times, Bugatti’s times will move her from 6th place to 1st!! Bugatti earned 109.69 points toward her DCAT. Amarula only competed in the Saturday runs. As she had only completed a few “fun runs” and a few practice runs, we were excited to see how she would do at an official AKC event. Amarula did not disappoint. On her first run, Amarula completed the course in 8.47 seconds/24.15 miles per hour. Her second run was completed in 8.34 seconds/24.53 miles per hour. Of course, two runs will not get her ranked by the AKC but we are very happy that she completed both runs with those times. Amarula earned a total of 48.68 points toward her BCAT. Coming into this weekend’s FastCAT event, Narco had 193.35 points and was ranked in 17th place with an average speed of 24.46 miles per hour. Narco is no stranger to FastCAT, in fact, he loves it. Narco was entered to run twice on all three days, 6 runs in total. On Friday, Narco ended up running three times due to some technical issues with the club’s equipment, this seems to happen every time we run our dogs, and we have come to accept it. Narco’s two best times for Friday were 8.30 seconds/24.64 mph and 8.91 seconds/22.96 mph. On Saturday, the event started in the morning, so the temperatures were much cooler than on Friday afternoon. The cooler temperatures paid off and Narco completed his two runs at 8.34 seconds/24.53 mph and 8.09 seconds/25.28 mph. Sunday was another good day, Narco completed his runs in 8.09 seconds/25.28 mph and 7.97 seconds/25.66 mph. It is worth mentioning that Narco consistently weighs in between 145 and 150 pounds. For a dog his size, completing a run in under 8 seconds is a noteworthy accomplishment. Just as with Bugatti, Narco recorded some of his fastest times ever. His three fastest times this weekend averaged out to be 25.41 mph, enough to move Narco from 17th place up to 10th place. In total, Narco earned 148.35 points toward his DCAT title. Narco wrapped up the weekend with 341.7 points. With his current averages, he will more than likely need 7 more runs to complete his DCAT. In closing, the FastCAT event hosted by the Wichita Kennel Club made for a successful and productive weekend for Vae Victis Cane Corso. It was great to catch up with old friends and to meet new friends. To make things even sweeter, Bugatti has officially been invited to the American Kennel Club FastCAT invitational which will be held this December in Orlando Florida.

"Accidental Breeding” We are committed to producing healthy dogs, with stable temperaments and great workability that are still true to the Cane Corso standard. We intend to test all of our breeding prospects with the minimum of DSRA screening, Pennhip hip exams an OFA elbow tests. In addition, we refuse to breed an immature male or female. We also do our best to compete and earn titles with each of our dogs prior to breeding. Those are some of the standards we have set for ourselves. Unfortunately, once a dog leaves our home, we can no longer supervise and/or guarantee the actions of the new owners. We recently agreed to allow a family friend to co-own Vici. She went home with Narco’s owner, at the time she was barely a year old. We mean it when we say an in-depth conversation was had regarding the importance of keeping them separate when she was in heat. Not only did we offer to let Vici come back and stay with us while she was in heat to prevent any accidents, we literally spoke about this for over an hour with her former co-owner to ensure he understood the measures that needed to be taken, what to expect while she was in heat and the implications of failing to follow these directions. In fact, just like with all of our dogs, a contract was signed and part of the contract was that neither Vici nor Narco would be bred, unless we had given our approval. Our approval would have certainly come at the completion of health testing that resulted in passing scores and titling. Unfortunately, a few days prior to this post, we received word from Vici’s owner that he thought she might be pregnant, because “it looked like she was making milk.” We were totally caught off guard because Vici was supposed to compete in her first FastCAT event that same weekend. After a brief physical examination, we agreed that she did indeed appear to be pregnant. If we had to guess, based on the timeframe of her last heat cycle, we estimate her to be 6-7 weeks pregnant, making her due the first week in October. We required her former co-owner to purchase a Relaxin test and make arrangements for an X-ray if that test came back positive. The Relaxin test did, in fact, come back positive for pregnancy, and an x-ray is scheduled for early October. To be clear, this in our opinion was not an “accidental breeding.” It was not unexpected or unintentional as her former owner had been given specific details and cautioned about the consequences of allowing Narco and Vici to interact while she was in heat. This was instead a negligent breeding. Vici’s former owner failed to properly care for her, that’s all there is to it. When we found out that her owner had also contacted a veterinarian located in south Wichita, close to the intersection of George Washington Blvd, and Oliver Street, and that veterinarian suggested that he pick the best puppy out of the litter and kill the rest, we knew our only option was to invoke the clause in our contract that allows us to repossess a dog. Vici is now back home with us. Many people wonder why responsible breeders utilize a contract, this negligent breeding is one of the best answers to that question. The contracts are meant to protect the buyer, the seller, and most importantly, the dog being sold. In this instance, Vici’s former owner was negligent and failed to protect her, it is up to us to do that now. We will do our best to help Vici whelp and raise a healthy litter of puppies and then use this experience to help us be even more selective in who we trust to care for our dogs. Aside from being tested for DSRA, which came back “Clear” and Embark results, which are pending, Vici has not been health tested. Her hips and elbows have not been checked for any signs of Dysplasia or OA. Because of this, our health guarantee will be modified for this litter ONLY. Any pup from this litter with a confirmed diagnosis of a serious, life-altering genetic defect within 24 months will be given a credit in the amount paid for the pup towards another pup from our program. The puppies will be sold at an appropriate and steeply discounted price point for pups in our geographic market with limited registration. No exceptions. This is a pairing we had planned for several years down the road; after health testing and titling had been completed to our satisfaction as we believe the pair will produce pups with great temperaments, solid structure, and high drive. However, at just over a year old Vici, like any dog, is just not quite ready. Unfortunately, what's done is done and we expect the pups to be born the first or second week of October. Below is a link to the Cane Corso Pedigree database, which will allow viewing of the pairing.
