The big 12 puppy litter

On May 15, 2024, our 2024 AKC Champion, Battalion Milania produced a litter of 12 healthy puppies; 5 males and 7 females with a wide variety of color variations. 4 of the pups are formentinos; 2 males and 2 females. The gene that gives a Cane Corso a formentino coat is dilute and recessive. This means that both of the puppies' parents must have the gene for the Cane Corso puppies to have a chance of having a formentino coat, which is evident in the 4 formentinos in our litter of 12. The fact that neither parents are formentinos shows “superiority” between our sire and dam we chose to mate. This further means that our sire, General Luka and our dam, Battalion Milania, are superior matches genetically. The word “formentino” is Italian for “fermented wheat” and describes a light golden-tan variation of the Cane Corso breed. Our Formentino Cane Corso pups feature a carbon-toned coat, blue nose and mask, and gray patches on their backs and shoulders which are standard characteristics for this rare breed.

All puppies are health tested, vaccinated, and dewormed. Their dewclaws are removed, ears cropped, tails docked, and each puppy is implanted with an owner registry microchip.
