Northwood's Cane Corso

Northwood's Cane Corso, operated by Alyxandria Naze Holman, raises cane corsi in Cataldo, Idaho, in the North Idaho panhandle region near Coeur d'Alene and the greater Spokane, Washington area. The program's focus is on showcasing the versatility of the breed across temperament, athleticism, intelligence, and health, with the motto "Where Strength Breeds Strength" reflecting that intent.

Alyxandria brings a background that sets the program apart: she spent nearly eight years working in both small and large animal veterinary clinics as a veterinary technician and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Eastern Washington University. That foundation informs a health-testing protocol that is notably thorough. Every dog entering the program receives PennHip certification for hips, OFA certification for heart, patellas, and thyroid, elbow evaluations, and genetic testing for conditions including degenerative myelopathy (DM) and DSRA.

Puppy development follows a structured approach. Litters are raised using Puppy Culture protocols, and at seven weeks each puppy receives a Volhard Aptitude Test to assess individual temperament and personality. Conformation is evaluated at the same time. The program has produced and co-produced litters alongside established kennels and has dogs with lineage tracing to AKC champion and grand champion titled cane corsi. Families searching for cane corso puppies in Idaho or the broader Inland Northwest will find a program oriented around long-term breeder support, AKC registration, and multi-year health guarantees.
