Envy was born on September 17, 2010. She is from Stonecroft Cane Corso in Virginia. We live in Indiana, so how did we find Stonecroft? Well the internet, of course. But we didn't stop there. I had researched Cane Corso breeders off and on for a few years. We knew that we really didn't want to get a new puppy for a while, so I was able to take my time searching for the right person with the right dogs. There didn't seem to be a lot of good options in or around Indiana. We found a few, but they seemed to stress the "guardian/attack" behaviors. So we looked further. There were some in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia where they had dogs that had nice pictures and the sites seemed to stress a family pet or show dog. We had narrowed it down to two that we liked.
Then last summer in 2010, we took a family vacation to Washington D.C. and then to Virginia Beach. Stonecroft Cane Corso was nicely located between DC and VB, so we arranged a visit with Misty to see her, the dogs and the kennel. After a few lost turns in Virginia farmland, we met her at her farm house. She showed us the kennel and let us in to meet the dogs and several puppies. My husband and I still brag about how impressed we were with the dogs. We met Kat right away. Then Noegan came out. She was gorgeous and smaller, but still muscular. She was playing with the puppies (who I think were Vida's???). Then she came over and approached us. Not shy, just watchful. We met big daddy Lieto, who I think is the most awesome dog I've ever seen. His head was enormous. She took us into her Kennel house to meet her young prospects - Friday, Summer, and Lola. I still love Friday's head too. The heads of these dogs are amazing. All the while there were 8 to 10 puppies running around, romping with my kids, biting shoe laces, getting picked up and cuddled.
Misty answered all our questions and gave us some things to think about. She then let us know that she had planned a breeding with Noegan and Lieto for her fall litter. But there wasn't a rush, she usually had litters 3 times a year.
We thanked her for spending so much time with us and went on our way. We kept talking the rest of the way to VB about beautiful mama Noegan and big playful Lieto. We really wanted a puppy from those too. Since, the other breeder we had contacted never responded to us; we knew we had narrowed our options down to Stonecroft. We sent Misty an email and let her know we wanted a female puppy from her fall litter and the long wait began.
I'm really pleased that we decided on Stonecroft. Misty is an awesome person and she is really invested in her dogs. She is also an amazing photographer. I'm in awe of her photo on her main page. Thank you Misty for our newest family member!
