Our 2024 AKC Champion, Battalion Milania—a beautiful black brindled Cane Corso—produced a litter of 12 healthy puppies on May 15, 2024 (5 males and 7 females), with a wide variety of color variations. Four were formentinos: 2 males and 2 females. The gene that gives a Cane Corso a formentino coat is dilute and recessive, meaning both parents must carry the gene, for there to be a chance of producing formentino offspring. The fact that neither parent is formentino, yet produced four formentinos in this litter, highlights the strength of the genetic pairing between our sire General Luka, and dam, Battalion Milania. Both sire and dam are OFA, Embark-tested, and health certified. Affectionately known as the Big 12, this exceptional litter has matured into a stunning group of young Cane Corsos. Because of the breed’s unwavering loyalty and eagerness to please, the majority have been trained for specialized roles, such as service dogs, emotional support companions, and law enforcement work. True to their heritage, each remains a naturally powerful protector and deeply loyal companion. All are thriving in their permanent homes, where their families regularly share updates showcasing the outstanding health, strength, and exemplary temperaments we strive for, at Battalion Cane Corso.
