details
Our dogs are ICCF and AKC registered. Litters of puppies are pre-registered at 3 weeks of age. All puppies have been wormed at 3, 5, and 7 weeks of age. All puppies have had vet check ups, tails docked, and dewclaws removed. All puppies have had their first set of shots at 7 weeks of age. Puppies are given outside time, family time, and exposed to typical daily noises and stimulus such as vacuums, lawn mowers, and playing children. We have done everything in our power to ensure through selective breeding, veterinarian health care, and diet that our dogs and puppies are healthy and have a sound temperament. It is up to the buyer to continue veterinarian care, proper diet, exercise, socialization, and training to have a healthy and well adjusted dog.

Why We Breed
My husband and I both grew up with large breed dogs. After years of Autoimmune disease, I needed help around the property with chores. I have also always felt safer with a large dog when on walks in the woods. I spent many years researching how to use dogs for draft work, what breeds could do this work, and fit our lifestyle. I saved, and I spent another two years researching breeders before deciding on Outlaw. In that time I came across countless scams, puppy mills, and people who were breeding dogs that should not be bred. I also came across many show breeders who cared more about the show ring and their ribbons, than keeping the Corso true to its working origins. These people are the reason we chose to start our own program to preserve the traditional Cane Corsos as working dogs and family guardians.
Disclaimer
These are large and powerful dogs with a bite force up to 700 psi. They are very dominant and can be stubborn, but are very loyal and loving with their families. They are amazing guardians and work dogs, but need extensive socialization and training to ensure they do not become reactive and overly aggressive. Despite being stubborn, they are a very intelligent breed and are eager to please their masters. They take to training well, and enjoy having a job to do. Training and socialization are not finished when they are puppies. It is a lifelong commitment to maintain their skills and respect. These dogs are very dominance driven. If you are not a proper leader and earn their respect as the Alpha of the pack, they will take it upon themselves to lead, and can become a problem animal. Having a trainer or training plan in place from the time your puppy comes home is a must. They will test their boundaries and figure out where they fit it in their new "pack". They will continue to test their boundaries periodically as they grow. Despite the challenges, they are worth the work.
Some History
The Cane Corso has a long history. They are often referred to as the ancient Roman dogs of war. While the Canis Pugnax was bred and used by the ancient Romans for warfare, that was 2,000 years ago. After the fall of the empire, the war dogs became hunting and farm dogs. They were used for hunting large game, guarding homesteads, and working with large animals like pigs, cattle, and sheep. After WWII, the breed almost went extinct, but was still thriving on small farms in Southern Italy. Dr. Paolo Breber took an interest in the Corsos and began a mission to bring the breed back in the 1970s and 80s. Since then they have been growing in popularity as personal guardians, companions, and as working dogs.
The Outlaw Bloodline
Outlaw is a family owned kennel breeding and training traditional working Cane Corsos. They are one of the few to have an actual bloodline. Using line breeding, they have been able to selectively breed quality healthy dogs for over 20 years. Not only are they amazing breeders, they do their best to educate the public on these dogs, their history, and the current state of the dog breeding world. Their transparency and knowledge has impressed me from the start. They are wonderful people and never hesitate to answer questions and offer advise. They also have the approval of Dr. Paolo Breber, who was the lead scientist who brought the breed back from oblivion in the 1970s. It is my opinion that Outlaw is the best Cane Corso kennel in the USA.
Raw Diet
We feed our dogs a raw diet. It can be a challenge some times, watching sales, prep work, watching the amount they get to maintain a healthy weight, and remembering to thaw things out ahead of time. Despite the challenges, they are healthy with shinning coats and a beautiful musculature. It may not be for everyone, but we are able and willing to do it to keep them and their joints strong and healthy. For our puppies we start them on Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy food with goats milk, eggs, bone broth, pumpkin puree, and plain yogurt. The goal is to have steady healthy growth and healthy GI tracts. We start them on the puppy kibble due to most people not using the raw diet.
Covenant's Tyra Lady of Asgard
Our dogs live in our home and are part of our family. They are great with children and very protective of them.
Tyra is a third generation line bred female off of Outlaw's Superman "Hero". She is a capable gaurdian at home and on the trails.
Tyra (pronounced Tear-ra), is the feminine form of Tyr. Tyr was the ancient Norse and Germanic God of justice, honor, and war.
Outlaw's War Machine "Tank"
Tank is the product of over 20 years of work by Outlaw to produce amazing guardians. He now lives on a farm in Missouri with Covenant Kennels.
We are mentoring off of Covenant Kennels, and currently focusing on the Outlaw bloodline while we learn more about breeding and genetics.
Tank is a large powerfully built boy. We chose him and this bloodline due to the focus on functionality as guardians and work dogs. Not the show ring.
