A recommended breeder?

Can anybody tell me a good breeder around or in, germany, austria, hungary or slovenia ? Thanks..

nobody?

He wil be a companion and protector of the house and family. I prefer the bigger boned type as long as it is still athletic. He wil be an addition to my cane corso flock. Im not in a hurry , but im gathering info for a while now. I would like to check out some kennels during my holliday period in summer. Thanks.

I also know Daur Don kennels Andrey is a great man and breeder, I have a CO from him and even is 8 months old right now, is a great dog. He also breeds CAO and he has serious dogs. Here you have one of his males: That dog is 94 cm at the sholders so is very big. Andrey was planning to mate that dog with this female: You can also consider the kennel Talisman, is a Russian one located near the borden with Ukrania. I have 2 pups from Talisman they are just gorgeous. Here you can see the father of my pup: This dog is 93 cm at the sholders. And this is the mother: Now, these are hard dogs so you have to consider your experience with this kind of working dogs. There is this kind of association of Ukranian breeders under the name of Security Dogs. They breed CO and/or CAO and they are serious breeders, they have a web page under such name; Daur Don and Talisman are part of this association. Good luck with your research. hugo

thanks guys this is really helpfull.

contactcombat, congrats on your choice! :) CAOs are a great breed, but be very VERY cautious when picking a breeder. Hip and elbow dysplasia, along with unstable temperament have become a serious problem in CAOs. To my knowledge, Germany and Austria don't have good CAOs, and Hungary has a few kennels with interesting dogs. Wolf already mentioned two kennels who are near Hungary. Kennel "Ruski Izvor" ([link=http://www.ruskiizvor.com/]LINK[/link]) from Serbia has dogs from show lines that are great both in built and in temperament. The other kennel, "Drinski Vitez", is actually from Russia. Their dogs are bred for working abilities, so they aren't uniform in type nor are they "showy", but their built, ancestry and temperament is something you can be certain of. There are a few dogs in Serbia and Bosnia form that kennel, two males and two females, and some more are coming soon. Here's Araj III, one of the males photographed at the Russian Breeds Club Show two weeks ago: ...and his son, Ahtar Drinski Vitez, 14 months old in this photo, owned by our member Elir. I've seen dogs from both of these kennels in person and I liked very much what I saw. I think it's worth going a bit farther to get a dog from them. In any case, I wish you good luck in your search and with your new dog! :) Katarina

Very nice both dogs you posted Katarina. I really like them. Please tell me those working lines that Drinski Vitez has are guarding or fighting lines. I know that there are several breeders using fighting lines. hugo

Yes gary, you are right; but consider that not every pup of the litter became a fighter. There are a lot of pups out of fighting lines that go to people not involved in fighting. hugo

Hello all, Aray III was in the kennel "Kalomenski Alabay", the owner of this kennel is well known Igor Berchansky, Ahtar is his son and a grandchild of Alar (Aray x Altyn (both imported from Turkmenia)). So, they are both (Aray III and Ahtar) fighting lines.

verry nice elir, thank you!
