Who We Are
Welcome to Charlei’s Kennel, where every bark and wag tells a story of love, loyalty, and family! Our journey began many years ago when our founder, Charlei, adopted his first Cane Corso puppy. Instantly captivated by the breed’s intelligence, strength, and uniquely affectionate nature, Charlei knew he had found a lifelong passion. What started as a single puppy quickly blossomed into a dream—to create a haven where future Cane Corso companions could thrive and connect with loving families.
As Charlei spent countless hours studying the breed’s characteristics and needs, he realized that many families were looking for guidance on how to care for such a magnificent breed. With a mission to educate and inspire, Charlei decided to share his knowledge and love for Cane Corsos with the world. This desire birthed Charlei’s Kennel, a dedicated space where potential puppy parents could find not just a furry friend but support, resources, and a community of like-minded dog lovers.
We are dedicated to nurturing and connecting the magnificent Cane Corso breed with families who understand the joy and responsibility of canine companionship.

Cane corsos are an intelligent and dignified breed with an independent nature. The breed has a deep history of being bred to be a multi-purpose dog that’s active, alert, and keeps a watchful eye over their family. Because the adorable, wrinkly, and smart cane corso puppy can grow to be a 110-pound energetic adult, it’s important to appropriately socialize this breed and teach them basic skills so they learn important behaviors they need to be successful in adulthood.
Large, muscular, and somewhat majestic in appearance, the cane corso’s size and strength are his dominating features—and, of course, among the reasons he’s a popular choice for watching over his owners and property. “They’re these big, beautiful, mastiff-type [breed],” Derse says. A full-grown cane corso female generally weighs 88–99 pounds, while a male cane corso can weigh as much as 110 pounds.
