Embark Genetic Testing

Embark is one of the most accurate and trusted canine DNA testing platforms available today. It screens for breed ancestry, genetic health conditions, traits, and lineage using advanced veterinary-grade science. By testing our dogs with Embark, we ensure every breeding decision is based on clear, reliable genetic information — giving your puppy the strongest start possible.

Building Healthy Cane Corsos Starts With Knowledge

We’re proud to share the complete Embark DNA profiles for Annabelle and Ozzy — the foundation of our breeding program and the genetic backbone of your future Cane Corso puppy. Responsible breeding begins with clarity, and Embark testing gives us a detailed look at their ancestry, health markers, traits, and overall genetic wellbeing.

We believe in full transparency. These results are shared exactly as we receive them — no edits, no summaries — because every family deserves to understand the genetic health behind their puppy.

🩺 Orthopedic & OFA Status

We emphasize functional, practical soundness first:

correct gait
strong top lines
balanced angulation
athletic, working-style structure

Veterinary orthopedic evaluations

Both Ozzy and Annabelle have:

routine veterinary examinations
no noted orthopedic concerns
no lameness or joint discomfort observed
clean movement and strong muscle tone

OFA certification

Formal OFA radiographs have not been submitted at this time.

However:

both dogs have been evaluated by our veterinarian
both showed no joint or gait concerns on clinical exam
both move soundly and comfortably in daily life

We recommend all large-breed owners maintain:

healthy adult weight
appropriate exercise
joint supplements as recommended by their veterinarian

Why Ozzy & Annabelle Are a Perfect Match

Their DNA results complement each other beautifully. After reviewing both profiles in detail, it is clear that:

Neither parent carries two copies of any breed relevant genetic disease
Their single-copy markers do not overlap in a way that could produce risk
All “notable” findings are either harmless or irrelevant to the Cane Corso breed
Their combined genetic profiles eliminate the possibility of affected puppies

This pairing guarantees:

✅ No genetic diseases caused by recessive inheritance
✅ No puppies born with two copies of any flagged variant
✅ No breed-relevant genetic conditions expressed in the litter
✅ Healthy, stable, genetically sound Cane Corso puppies

This is responsible breeding at its highest standard — thoughtful, intentional, and backed by real science.

Healthy parents create healthy puppies.

This is why Ozzy and Annabelle are the perfect match.
