What do we recommend …..everything!!!!
From the initial introductions with Mariah, her facility and her knowledge for the Corso breed was spot on for the calibre of breeder and dog we were looking for. We are very familiar with hard, working line dogs and wanted to ensure we had good bloodlines from champions, as we feel this is vitally important!
We chose to make the trip from the East Coast of Canada, once we seen the quality of her kennel and her pack....we knew we found OUR breeder. Fast-forward about a year and a half later and we have our first female from Mariah.... Male to Come next year hopefully
Mariah has provided an amazing experience so far... I couldn't ask for a better quality of dog and breeder.
We never expected to get treated this well, create such a friendship or have this quality of Corso.
In our humble opinion there is only 1 Cane Corso breeder in Canada … and that's Canadian Shield Cane Corso.

Exceptional Cane Corso from a Responsible Breeder!
We had been waiting for our puppy for nearly two years, and she was absolutely worth the wait. Our girl, Bertha, is everything we could have hoped for and more. From the very first days, she has been going outside for potty breaks, which speaks volumes about the breeder's dedication to early training and care.
Her temperament is outstanding-strong yet balanced, confident yet affectionate. She fits perfectly into our family, and we know this is a direct result of the breeder's careful selection and socialization. Her health is impeccable, and she is beautifully built, just as a Cane Corso should be.
On top of that, the breeder has been incredibly supportive, always available to answer any questions and provide guidance whenever needed. This ongoing assistance has been invaluable, and we truly appreciate the dedication and expertise.
We are beyond grateful for such a wonderful dog and highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a top-quality Cane Corso. Thank you for your hard work, passion, and for giving us the perfect companion.

I highly recommend Canadian Shield Cane Corso if you’re looking for a top quality breeder.
I come from a family that bred giant schnauzers. It’s so important that a breeder has an extensive application process and breeding contract to keep the integrity of the breed and provide the buyer with the perfect match for their loyal companion. Mariah does this and so much more.
She was available to answer all my questions, provide feed back and educated information on how to care for my new pup. Even with the 3 hour time difference.
When I picked up my puppy he was everything I expected and more. His first time on a leash and he marched along like a champ. Buses, traffic, city chaos and he didn’t even flinch.
Our first day was a bit chaotic for me with pet carriers and airlines and the task of managing a new puppy in a busy airport but the only signs of stress showed on me.
Ruger was a champ. He didn’t even skip a beat but seemed almost curious as to what was next. Then his first night in a hotel he showed his stoic, brave, “I got this” temperament.
He’s now home with his pack and confident.
I know from experience that a puppy only shows this temperament through hard work, dedication, time, consistency and conditioning.
Thankyou Canadian Shield Cane Corso
“Good things aren’t cheap and cheap things aren’t good” you get what you pay for with this breeder.

We've worked with several Cane Corsos from Canadian Shield Corsos through our training programs, alongside their owners. Each one has been excellent to work with and represents what the breed should be.
They've consistently shown stable, clear-headed, and balanced temperaments with strong engagement in training. From a training and lifestyle standpoint, a balanced dog is easy to live with. They're predictable, adaptable, and capable of learning without emotional volatility. That balance is what allows structure, obedience, and reliability to be built cleanly over time.
Based on our direct experience with these dogs in training, they have reflected the kind of traits we look for when helping owners build reliable, well-balanced companions.
