Welcome to
SirGard Cane Corsos website, we hope you enjoy our website. SirGard is
located thirty minutes east of Philadelphia in what is commonly referred to a South Jersey and is owned by Jim
and Barbara. One visit to their home, one quickly realizes how passionate they are about their dogs.
SirGard is not a large kennel and or puppy mill trying to produce mediocre dogs to
pay the bills. They are passionate about their dogs, and consider them to a
part of their family. SirGard is situated on approximately two and half acres of land, allowing the
dogs plenty of room to run and play with their two kids JT & Sofia.
As the
founder of SirGard, Jim grew up with dogs, lots of them. His family was partial to
Golden Retrievers while he was growing up and he spent countless hours honing his dog training skills on many of
the Goldens his family owned throughout the years. When he graduated from college
he purchased his first Rottweiler in 1992 and started to actively show and work
Rottweilers.
Jim got involved in large dominant
breeds in the early 90s and got his first Corso in 2001. Over the last 27 years, 19 of which he was involved in

imported dogs from all over the World. He has Championed/Titled multiple breeds in confirmation and working
events, he has owned/handled multiple all breed Best in Show winners, a National Specialty Winner and National
Specialty AOMs. He has attended countless breed seminars, donated time and money and participating in local
rescue efforts and evaluated/assisted large dominant breeds for Animal Control, Animal Shelters and trainers.
Over the years, he has been member of multiple breed clubs and a working club, he has volunteered his time
working with the different Cane Corso Breed Clubs over the years as but not limited to Working Committee
Chairperson, National Specialty Working Judge, National Specialty Certified Decoy, National Specialty Breed
Specific Temperament Evaluator, Working Club Decoy, Election Oversight Committee Chairperson and Chairperson of
