The Dog of Merit Page should be a resource to breeders as well as a historical glimpse at some of the finest Corso specimens. The dogs should be accomplished in either Conformation or Working and should owned by a member of the CCAA.
The following criteria will be used in allowing presentation on this page.
Additional accomplishments may certainly be considered meritorious and would certainly be considered in determining a dogs standing.
If you feel like your dog is a CCAA Dog of Merit and you would like him or her added to this page, please contact Shauna Demoss at shauna@castleguardcanecorso.com
