Hello and welcome to our site.

Valley Kennels, a family of enthusiasts, had its humble beginnings in the vibrant city of Cleveland, Ohio. Founded by two childhood friends who shared a common dream, this journey was driven by their unwavering passion for owning and breeding pure pedigreed dogs, a dream that had been out of reach during their own childhoods due to financial constraints.

Over time, their determination led them to the world of purebred dogs, where they explored various breeds such as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, Akitas, and many others. They embarked on a journey of discovery and fascination, consistently gravitating towards larger breeds. However, everything changed when they encountered the majestic Italian Cane Corso Mastiff.

This remarkable breed captured their hearts and imagination, becoming the central focus of their ambitions and aspirations. Fortunately, fate smiled upon them, placing them in close proximity to one of the nation’s foremost Cane Corso breeders, Mr. Tony Scandifio. With this fortuitous connection, their journey into the world of Cane Corsos truly began.

Having gained access to invaluable information and high-quality bloodlines through Mr. Scandifio, Valley Kennels found themselves in a win-win situation. This was an era before the widespread availability of the internet, social media, and advanced cellphones, making networking and accessing top-quality bloodlines a formidable challenge. The Cane Corso breed was still in its infancy and considered rare, making quality bloodlines even scarcer.

Through determination, passion, and a fortunate encounter, Valley Kennels embarked on a journey that would not only enrich their lives but also contribute to the preservation and promotion of this magnificent breed. Their dedication to excellence and their commitment to quality bloodlines would shape their future as breeders and enthusiasts of the Italian Cane Corso Mastiff.
