My name is Abe and I am a police officer in New
Hampshire. About 2 years ago I discovered the Cane Corso breed and knew I
had to have one. After a lot of research for a breeder I found one about
an hour from where I live. After having to wait a year for the litter, I
was excited to hear I was finally getting my puppy. While I was looking
online for info on a good ear crop, I happened across Perette Cane Corso's
facebook page and noticed his dog's ears looked great. After contacting
and talking to Mike about the breeder I had chosen, I learned that he
didn't have the reputation I thought he had. Immediatly I called my
breeder and told him I could no longer take the puppy and decided to wait
until Mike had another litter. Mike wanted me to see his dogs before I
made my decision and it was worth it. He has the most beautiful examples
of the Cane Corso breed I have seen through all my reaserch and he shows a
lot of care and concern for his dogs and their well being. My experience
with Mike from the get go was great. I recieved weekly updates even before
the puppies were born. He sent pics throughout the weeks I had to wait to
bring her home and anytime I had a question about the breed Mike always
had the answer. When I finally went down to pick up my puppy on January
7th I couldn't have been more pleased. She is the best tempered, most
playful puppy I have seen and her brindle color is amazing. I know she
will grow up to be a great dog. I couldn't have asked for a better
experience than the one I had with Paretti Cane Corso and I would highly
recommend him to anyone looking for this exceptional breed. I will have
pictures up soon. |

Prior to meeting Mike, we looked into many breeders
and tried to compare them and to be honest, we didn't even think twice
about going through Peretti to recieve the puppy of our dreams. We want to
thank Mike and Courtney for helping us throughout this whole process, it
was an amazing experience. We were welcomed at their home on numerous
occasions just to visit with the dogs because we were anxious to own one.
His home and where the dogs resided, inside and out, was immaculate and
sanitary. All of his dogs interacted with each other, males and females,
which we were surprised to see that. Even before Mia had her pups Mike was
sure to answer any and all of our questions, it was a huge relief going
through a breeder who knows everything about this breed. We are in love
with our newest addition (Cyrus) he is growing healthy and is a playful
pup with the family and with our two older dogs. We couldn't be any
happier! In the future, we look forward to going through Mike Peretti for
a second Cane Corso without a doubt. We are extremely honored to own a pup
from their program and would recommend anyone who is looking for a pup to
visit them. Mike is always willing to educate people on what to look for
as opposed to just making a sale. Peretti Cane Corso truly cares about the
best interest of the breed and who owns their puppies! |

My name is Mark LaForges and live in winnipeg,canada.
We have been in contact with Mike Perette for over the past year. Mike was
very Informative explaining his bloodline and what to expect for
temperment.He does all the health testing. He always made me feel
comfortable and returned phone calls texts and emails with in the day. He
is a all round solid guy and a man of his word. Everything I asked for in
our next puppy he delivered and more nice wide,low to the ground, wide
block head,and to top it all of great tempered girl. She arrived clean
completely heathy. In picking my pup he put me in contact with a well known veteran in the breed Tony Scandy who also gave his time and help pick our girl out. All I can say is Mike went above and beyond my expectations and I would refer her him to anyone looking to put a cane corso into their home. Thanks for the great girl Tika she and Primo get along great! |

My husband Justin has owned Cane Corso Mastiffs
since 1995, and I since 1997. Over the years we have been lucky enough to
own four incredible dogs. Formally only being familiar with Bull mastiffs,
I was quickly impressed by Cane Corso’s loyalty and affection towards
their owners. This breed is extremely protective of its family, especially
the children. After lost our Cane Corso, Maximus, this year we started our
search for a new breeder. We interviewed many on the phone, but were
dismayed by their lack of knowledge about their breed lines, temperament,
or even their availability to be interviewed in person. Justin and I found
it imperative not only to interview a breeder's dogs, the the breeder him
or herself. Many breeders we worked with in years past are no longer in
the business, so we were lucky to find Mike of Peretti Cane Corso. Mike
highly encouraged us to come to his home, where all of his dogs live, to
meet them, and himself, and his fiancee Courtney. We took him up on his
offer and were immediately impressed in a number of ways. Both he and
Courtney knew each dog in depth, and were able to describe his/her
temperament and genealogy in detail. His dogs are very fluid in their
movement, not at all presenting as clumsy or heavy footed. His line of
dogs are clearly breed with a focus on health and temperament. He
explained why he puts so much thought into choosing the individual dogs he
will bred in order to ensure a high quality of health and temperament. As
much as we felt we were interviewing Mike, he was also interviewing us to
ensure that we would provide a type of home that he feels his dogs
deserve. It was also very obvious that Mike is not a breeder in the
business to make money: he is interested in enhancing the lineage of this
very special and unique breed of dog. Temperament of our dogs is crucial when choosing a breeder, since we’re a family with a 6 and 2 year old. Mike’s commitment to producing a line of dogs with superior temperament was evident. This was apparent in every detail regarding his dogs, extending from his choice of diet, to their cleanliness and the organization of his indoor and outdoor facilities. His impeccable knowledge of the breed is reflected in all the high-quality aspects of his dogs. After what seemed endless questions and multiple conversations with Mike, we felt he was clearly a breeder with superior ethics, knowledge, and a commitment to the positive advancement of this breed. His line of dogs will only benefit the Cane Corso world, and we feel fortunate that he approved our application for a puppy. Soon after a birth of a litter, weekly online photo albums of the puppies were sent to us. Opportunities to visit the puppies were encouraged by Mike and Courtney. Now we have Buca (after Sambuca), a new female member of our family. The high level of service and professionalism we experienced throughout the entire process, continued after we brought Buca home. Mike has called to ensure Buca is doing well, and has promptly returned any of our calls, no matter how trivial the question. We are extremely fortunate to have discovered Peretti Cane Corso! We highly recommend Mike as a breeder and will definitely be using him in the future to further expand our family. Thank you, Mike, for breeding such an exceptional line of dog! Buca thanks you too! -The Morine Family |

My wife and I first meet Mike and Courtney at
Borderland State Park. The first thing that we noticed was the attitude of
the dogs. Mike and Courtney were there with their two Cane Corso's and
another couple had their Corso that they purchased from Mike. Although
there were many dogs around Mike's dogs seemed indifferent. They stayed
close by and didn't bark or pull when others approached. My wife and I at
the time were looking into a Bull Mastiff and were not that familiar with
the Cane Corso. We approached the group with our Daughter and was
surprised that there was no jumping or aggresiveness. We held them up for
almost and hour and they were more than gracious to answer all of our
questions. Mike was genuinely a good guy. After that we started to look
into the breed. We had spoken to Mike many times and he always spoke of
temperment and the importance of a well balanced dog. We did some research
and felt that this breed would be a good fit for our family. We were
thrilled when MIke had contacted us to let us know that Mia had her
puppies. Mike kept us updated with weekly pictures until the day we could
pick them up. We are more than pleased with the personalities of both of
them. I would recommed Peretti Cane Corso to anyone looking into this
breed. Mike is extremely knowledgable and genuiley cares for each and
everyone of his dogs. The whole experience has been enjoyable and glad to
have our new additions to the family. Pictures coming soon. |

Mike and Peretti Cane Corso are the best! Peretti
Cane Corso is one of the only breeders in the country that will stand
behind their dogs for health AND temperament. Mike never rushes you and
strives to educate everyone who inquires completely and with much passion.
I got my Cane Corso through Mike, have been to his house several times,
and I can honestly say his dogs are the friendliest group I've ever met!
There's not one that I would be the slightest bit worried to have around
my kids. I look forward to seeing the continued success of his program. Feel free to contact me for reference

Hi Mike. We would like to thank you again for a wonderful dog. Tess is doing great and we will send pictures shortly. We’ve been very busy but we would like to say a few things about your facility. Mike and I were very impressed with all of your dogs and how your facility was set up. They all had nice runs, shade and plenty of room. Every dog was friendly, clean and very attentive to who was there. You’ve done a nice job and we look forward to hearing how Mia is doing. Sincerely Donna & Mike Nadeau Seekonk Mass

Mike, Just a quick note to thank you for all you’ve done to educate and inform me and my family about the Cane Corso breed, leading ultimately to us adding our newest family member, Kane. From long phone conversations, during which you never made me feel rushed, to inviting us to your home to meet you, Courtney, and your dogs, I am grateful for your patience and willingness to share this great breed. I was truly amazed at both the temperament and quality of your corsos. They were ALL very friendly, especially to my 7 and 9 year old daughters who don’t have much experience with dogs since our beloved Rottweiler Braden died 4 years ago. I can’t believe how they just lay down and give you their belly to rub, all while licking you till you’re soaked! Having discussed your program in depth with you, it is quite obvious that you and Courtney aren’t in this for the money. You have a true love for the breed and a mission to improve it by only breeding worthy dogs with not only great Penn Hip scores, but “family” temperaments as well. Enclosed are a few photos of us with Kane. I look forward to staying in touch and your continued support as we raise him. Sincerely, The Walsh Family |

23 August 2009 Hello Mike, I would like to thank you for all your hard work in helping Cole and I acquire our handsome new pup Diesel. You truly went above and beyond any expectations that we might have had of a breeder! From the beginning you treated us as if we had known you for years. You answered all of our questions no matter how trivial with the utmost honesty and sincerity; furthermore you also educated and enlightened us about this fantastic breed of dog. Your knowledge as a Cane Corso breeder and unpretentious integrity is most highly commendable! Through the entire process you made us feel as if we were getting preferential treatment bending over backwards helping us in any way possible. You are truly a leader in the advocacy of this wonderful breed of dog! Finally I would highly recommend anyone entertaining the idea of owning a Cane Corso Mastiff to seek out your services. Attached are photos of Diesel as he has been growing and maturing. Thank you again. Respectfully, David and Cole |

My wife and I have been searching for a Cane Corso breeder and attending shows for the last year or so. We attended the RI show this year and had the opportunity to meet Peretti Cane Corso and his handler. We were totally amazed with the temperaments of his dogs. We found great interest in his program. His dogs were totally approachable and enjoyed the attention from all age levels. We were invited to come see his program to decide if this was the dog for us.
Last weekend along with many others were at Peretti Cane Corso visiting his kennel. I know that myself and others were totally amazed that all of his dogs males and females got along with each other. Not too mention every dog was approachable in the yard and in their kennel. What amazed us was the fact that he encouraged the children to go let the dogs out of the kennels and have fun with them. From there it was just positive energy from the children, adults and the dogs! I have been involved with large breeds for most of my life and was totally surprised by the balance of the temperament and structure. I would recommend anyone who has an interest in a large breed dog as a family pet or even a show dog to visit their program. Just to see the greatness of the breed when they originate from proper breeding and socialization.
Just my thoughts. Dave

My wife and I have been in love with this breed for well over a decade now, after the purchase of my first Cane Corso puppy. Having owned and been exposed to many representations of this breed, I can honestly say that I have seen both amazing examples of Corso's as well as beautiful yet extremely unstable and or unhealthy animals. With that said we definitely recognized the importance of working with a reputable breeder that shared the same love and good intentions for the breed as we did. Many years of countless conversations and several visits to various breeding programs were had until we found a breeding program that reflected what we were looking for in a Cane Corso. After hearing Mike Perette's name come up in conversations with other Corso owners and people involved in showing their dogs, I decided to reach out to him. After speaking with Mike and hearing is genuine love and enthusiasm for the breed, there were a few things that really stood out. Mike recognized some of the problems that were becoming all to common with health and temperaments as well as conformation. He expressed his concern for maintaining the true breed standard with a strong commitment to health and stable temperaments. Makes sense as he is currently the head of health and genetics for the CCAA. Mike and Courtney quickly invited us to come see their program. We were immediately blown away! The thing that immediately stood out was how stable each and every dog was. Not only were they great physical representations but they each greeted us with nothing but love. Even more impressive was seeing several dogs run together, even of the same sex. That was a first for me. Everything from the cleanliness and size of each dog's space to the quality of food they were fed was consistent and impressive. We made our decision that day to get our next pup through Mike and Courtney's program. Months after placing our deposit, a litter that we had been hopeful for was on the ground. We were in close contact with Mike leading up to the litter as well as after they were born and now that we have our pup. Mike and Courtney worked with us to ensure we got a puppy that completely represented everything we wanted. Mike was always happy to answer any and all questions we had as well as to talk with us about any concerns that we might have had. We literally could not be any happier with our decision! Keno is now 11+ weeks and he is everything we could have hoped for. Everyone from our vet to our friends/family and other dog owners are amazed with him. He is absolutely beautiful with the sweetest disposition towards every person and dog we have introduced him to. At 11 weeks he is already near completely housebroken, knows 'sit', 'high five' and we are working on stay and heel. He is truly the perfect addition to our family! Thank you Mike and Courtney!

My name is
Anthony Pelletier. I began thinking about getting a dog about a year ago
after a long period of not owning a dog. I had always had large dogs so I
was looking for a big dog that would be able to live in a city apartment.
Then one day our student intern brought his mastiff into the office and I
fell in love. I began to research mastiff's on the internet and discovered
Cane Corso's. In my search I came across Mike's website and sent an email
asking about the breed. Mike called me up and began talking to me about
his dogs. The upshot was that in February he invited me to come out, meet
his dogs and interview with him to see if one of his dogs would be a good
match. I left home with some pretty set ideas of what I wanted. A female dog, preferably a light color. Mike introduced me to his pack and began talking to me about his breeding program with its emphasis on temperament and health. He asked me about my experience with dogs and specifically if I had owned large dogs and if I had any experience with training a dog. All the while he and Courtney were bringing his dogs out, each one as friendly and happy as the next. Mike doesn't have to sell you on his dogs, they sell you on the breed. By the time I left, my only stipulation was I didn't want the ears cropped and I knew any puppy I got from Peretti's would be a great dog. When I got a call from Mike this spring asking me if I would take a male puppy I jumped at the chance. After that I started counting the days until I would be able to pick up Rocco. Bringing one of Mike's dogs into my home is one of the best decisions I have ever made. He already responds to his name, knows "sit", "down" and gets better every day at "with me" when we are out walking. He is a friendly, happy little dog and a great ambassador for the breed. He loves people, is making dog friends in the neighborhood and I am constantly stopped by people who want to meet him and ask about him. It is also a good feeling to know that Mike has extended himself, so that if any questions should come up, I will have the help I need to ensure that Rocco continues to be the wonderful puppy that I picked up. Though I have only had him a few weeks now, I can't imagine life without him. I am looking forward to many years of joy with my new friend and can't recommend Mike or his dogs highly enough. -- Tony |

Peretti Cane Corso is not a typical breeder. The
whole experience was far above the competition. My wife and I shopped
several locations before we found Peretti Cane Corso. None of them were
as informed. None were willing to educate like Peretti. Mike and his wife
have a strong passion for the breed but we never felt pressured or rushed
into anything. Peretti Cane Corso encourages questions. Best of all to
us is the health and temperament guarantee. We recommend Peretti to anyone
looking to purchase a large breed. Regards, Anthony Sciaraffa |

We feel extremely lucky to have obtained one of Mike’s beautiful Cane Corso puppies. My girlfriend had decided to purchase a puppy and I suggested she consider this breed. She began her research and decided the Cane Corso would be right for her family. After exhaustive research and phone interviews, she found Mike of Peretti Cane Corso. His female, Mia, was expecting and Rebecca was in line for one of his puppies. My family decided at the last minute that it was the right time to bring a dog into our home as well. We were so excited to get littermates so our newest family member would have a playmate. Mike welcomed both our families into his home and answered all of our questions. He also was excited about sending sister puppies to close families who would raise the pups together. Unfortunately one of Rebecca’s boys had an allergic reaction while visiting the Peretti’s. To avoid a situation where they might have to give the dog up, their family backed out of the deal. Mike was truly understanding and helpful. We still brought Bella home and have been nothing but thrilled. Mike’s dogs come from an excellent and stable line of Cane Corsos, and Bella is no exception. She is a beautiful black brindle who gets nonstop compliments wherever we go. She has a wonderful temperament… her tail is always wagging and she is happy to greet all newcomers with affection and lots of licking! She plays in a friendly manner with all the strange dogs we meet at the dog park. She is patient and loving with my two small children (age 5 and 7) Luckily Rebecca’s son has played with Bella on many occasions, with no allergic reaction whatsoever. They are now even more excited to get one of Mike’s next puppies and I’m sure Bella will have a new best friend. The best part of dealing with Mike is his love and interest in this breed. He is always available to answer questions. He even called us for an update when we were too busy to call. He truly wants to know if there are any issues with the puppy as he wants to breed his dogs to achieve the best health and temperament possible. Thanks again Mike! The Zimmermann’s |

Mike and Courtney, I have had Tess with me for a month now. I am so in love with this dog. I had to have a dog put down last winter and missed her very much. She was a dog with many issues however, and although I wanted another dog, I did not want to have another dog with so many issues. I researched many breeds, and was very impressed with the Cane Corso. I started calling breeders all over the country, and had lists of questions that I asked. They would answer some of my questions, but not many asked any questions about my situation, or evaluated me to see if I would be a good owner of a Corso. I called Mike and left a message. He called me back promptly. He talked to me about my home, my experience with dogs, my lifestyle, and why I wanted a Corso. He invited me to come to his home. He told me that he did not want to sell me a dog until I saw the dogs and he saw if I was a fit with them. I went down to see him, and even though he and Courtney were in the middle of a move, and planning a wedding, they spent the entire afternoon with me, introducing me to all of their dogs, and one special one. My Tessa. He told me all about each dog, showed me their vet records and Penn Hip scores. He talked about health problems in the breed, and how he is very selective what dogs he breeds to minimize health problems. My daughter, who has also had experience breeding dogs, and is very knowledgeable, came over, and talked to Mike about his breeding program. He answered all of my questions and her questions. Every dog was happy,
confident, calm, and friendly. They had wonderful temperaments. I fell
madly in love with Tessa, and could only think of taking her home. I knew
he had others who wanted her, but I was thrilled when he decided that Tess
and I were a fit. A dog walker comes every day while I am at work to take her out, and recently left me a letter saying how great Tess is, and he wishes all of his dogs were as good as her.
She is a very good girl, and I want to thank Mike and Courtney for taking
all the time to make sure I had the right dog and she had the right owner.

My search for a Cane Corso began by
complete accident. We had moved to a fairly secluded area on a large
piece of property and thought it would be a good idea to find a dog that
would serve as a good guard dog as well as a great family pet. Originally
I had my heart set on a Rottweiler, as I began researching the breed I
stumbled across a photo of the most amazing, beautiful dogs I had ever
seen, it was the Cane Corso. I had never heard of a Cane Corso but I knew
the moment I saw that picture that I had to have one, the search was
on! Firstly I set out researching the breed to find out if it was going
to be the right dog for our family as well as trying to find a
breeder within our area. My husband was the hard sell, he was very
apprehensive about such a strong dog, leery that it would be a liability
rather than an asset. We read everything we could find on these amazing
animals, I was determined to prove to him this was the dog for us. After
all the research I knew I could not compromise and is was imperative that
I find a breeder who was breeding primarily for health and temperament.
Someone that was passionate and knowledgeable about this dog.
After months of research, countless emails, phone conversations and kennel
visits, I was starting to think my husband was right. We were finding that
the majority of breeders we spoke to and visited were primarily concerned
with what we were willing to pay. We were introduced to
countless unstable animals that were being breed purely for a profit. We
felt defeated. |

I was researching online and in books to find the perfect dog for my lifestyle and my family. I wanted a dog with a calm demeanor, not hyper. I wanted a dog that could offer protection but was at heart a friendly dog. I decided on a Cane Corso because I really like the way the dog looks, muscled and short haired, calm and able to protect; not too large or too much shedding and not a small yipping, hyper breed. I went to work trying to find a Cane Corso. I was drawn to Peretti Cane Corso as a breeder for many reasons. First the fact that he was local to me meant a great deal. After meeting with him and talking to him I realized how knowledgeable he was about the breed. He was trustworthy and honest and encouraged me to check out other breeders to see how he compared. He wanted me to be completely satisfied with him and his pups. I was invited out to meet his wife and his dogs. I was impressed with how organized and clean his kennels were. The dogs were in supreme condition and well cared for. They were well fed and the affection felt for the dogs was evident in both Mike Peretti and his wife. The dogs were calm and met me (a stranger) with no growling, barking, jumping, or nervousness. I decided that this was where my next member of the family would come from. I was told the cost up front and received a written contract. I was informed of the birth and provided with pictures of the pups as they grew. When it was time to bring our new addition home I was very impressed with the size, condition, and stance of the new pup. The fact that hips and temperament are guaranteed for three years just put the agreement over the top and I went home with a very loving, curious, well adjusted pup. In closing I would recommend Peretti Cane Corso to anyone considering this breed of dog not just for the quality of the dogs, the guarantees that come with the pups, or the low cost but also because it is evident that the Perettis’ care immensely for their dogs truly desire to produce pups that will live long and happy lives in their new homes. Sincerely, Melissa Weinert |

My fiance and I were searching for a large breed, calm temperament, family dog. Through extensive research, I found Mike's website with a ton of great information. The website alone helped narrow down our decision to go with this breed. We have a 6month old son and an 8 year old daughter. My fiance was hesitant to go with a breed as large as a Mastiff. Once we met Mike and Courtney with our baby and their 8 dogs, she felt at ease. They welcomed us into their home and treated us like family. They brought out each of the dogs for us to see how they would interact with our 6month old. We knew right then that this was the right fit for our family and lifestyle. Mike is so knowledgeable and passionate about his dogs he could tell which puppy at 8 weeks was best for us. The day finally came that we could go see our potential new family member and we couldn't have been more pleased with his choice. Mike in fact picked out the puppy that was meant to be ours. We named him Zino, he is brindle in color with an Amazing temperament. Zino has been with us for 6 weeks and it feels like he has been in our family forever. He is great with the baby, house trained and listens to commands already. We couldn't of asked for a better experience than the one we had with Peretti Cane Corso. My fiance and I would recommend them to anyone thinking about this breed. Thank you so much Mike and Courtney for Zino J.R. and Jami Somerset, MA
