Aragorn del Rustic, CGC,GDT,IDT3,HIC
FCI Italian judge Marcello Rocchi de' Sangro comments were..
“the top four dogs at the show would be among the top dogs in Italy”
And Aragorn was one of the 4 dogs he spoke about!
Aragorn is a once in a lifetime dog, every Italian Judge who has seen him felt his type and presence is rarely seen in the breed today. He passes this on to most of his offspring, truly a good producer. Aragorn has sired more then 22 titled offspring in a short breeding period! Regardless of what envious people say about this dog he is every breeder and dog owners dream dog. He reproduces himself with every type of female he has bred.
He is clearly the top producing cane corso ever in Canadian history.
Aragorn is a 4 year old male, super agile, with an over abundance of muscle and bone. His head is perfect not overdone nor underdone in any way. He is very tolerant with children and has very strong work drives, strong prey drive, very high fight and defense drive. Aragorn weighs 126lbs. Aragorn attained his Iron dog titles and placed second very easily, we did not know what we were to do as still placed 2nd and became a ranked Iron dog.
Aragorn's critique from Sig. Guido Vandoni, Aragorn has 9 excellent critiques but this one is our most important and is very special due to the large part Sig. Guido Vandoni played in the breeds recovery long ago in Italy. He knows what a Cane Corso was and is. Mr. Vandoni commented that Aragorn is one of the closest to correct type he has seen in about 5plus year.

Kenya del Rustic, CGC
click on link for story
#1 Cane Corso in Canada 2001, # 9 all breed with only few shows out. Finished her rarities champions in 2 shows, being only 1 point short after her first show!
Kenya almost unbeatable in the show ring, the most beautiful mover always stealing the Judges eye. Kenya black Medium sized, thick, gentle, kind, amazing with children. Kenya has the movement of a cat and looks just like a Panther when she moves and stalks bugs and rodents in the fields. This girl is so funny she was often found sleeping sitting up, lol.
Kenya was our couch potato, everyone who has come to our home knows Kenya's couch, we called it the Kenny couch as she was always crashed on her blue love seat. My daughter used to lay on her on the love seat to watch T.V and never did Kenya even open an eye. She touched the hearts of everyone who met her, sadly she was stolen by an ill minded criminal in the USA who thinks it's funny that I am in Canada and can't do anything as she has hid Kenya. If you can offer any information on her where a bouts please contact us, we are offering a reward.
Please post a copy of the banner on your website or local pet shop etc. Thank You
Deja Vu Del Rustic, HIC
Deja a daughter of Kenya her father is also bred by us, found in the gallery brindle with natural ears. Deja is black and the smartest dog I have ever owned or seen. She is very eager loves to work, has boundless energy, medium sized, fearless, outgoing, beautiful like her mom, loves any full contact games, will be trained and titled in Ring Sport and personal protection. As of Spring 2005 Deja has been employed as a night time compound dog for a local metal recycling plant.
Deja is just 12 months December 1st, she has the same impressive fight drive as Aragorn and many of Aragorn's offspring and she is not from him. She enjoys hanging on her tire which sits about 7feet off the ground, her and Aragorn play with this many days a week.
Deja is the most competitive dog I have met next to Aragorn, she is the only one who stands up to his competitive character and they always try to out do each other in performance. Like Aragorn she never resorts to aggression when irritated, but both are very defensive when necessary. Deja is not a breeding dog due to her grandparents and being a possible carrier of epilepsy so we had her fixed and will continue working her.

Gallery of dogs bred by Rustic
The many faces of Rustic, these dogs are all pets first to their families but many are also titled show dogs, workers, and up and coming stars. Also most pups pictured below are fathered by the one and only Aragorn. We will be adding many more photos in time, as anyone can see we are very proud of our puppies and so are the families who love and cherish them. So us another breeder that can show case as many beautiful Cane Corso's as we can, this from hard work and not breeding every dog we own. We constantly improve our stock and select for better then the generation prior, this is why our dogs just keep getting better.
We had so many photos of pups we sold and we decided to give them a page of their own.
