Crafting World-Class Authentic Cane Corsos in New Jersey for 24 Years

 

SirGard Cane Corsos is an award-winning, small hobby preservation breeder located just thirty minutes east of Philadelphia in South Jersey. SirGard is owned by Jim and Barbara, along with their two children, JT and Sofia. A visit to their home quickly reveals the deep passion Jim and Barbara have for their dogs, who they consider part of their family. Situated on approximately two and a half acres of land, SirGard provides plenty of room for the dogs to run and play with the kids, who especially love spending time with the puppies.

 

As the founders of SirGard, Jim and Barbara both grew up surrounded by dogs. Jim’s family had a strong affinity for Golden Retrievers, and he spent countless hours honing his dog training skills on many Goldens when he was young. Barbara, on the other hand, grew up with multiple Great Danes and has become an expert in the Cane Corso breed in her own right over the past 22 years. Jim purchased his first Rottweiler in 1992, marking the beginning of his career in actively showing and working with large dominant breeds.

 

Over the past 32 years, including 24 years working with Cane Corsos, Jim has owned, trained, bred, and evaluated thousands of Cane Corsos and other large dominant breeds. He and Barbara have imported dogs from all over the world, working to improve the quality of the breed. They have campaigned and titled multiple breeds in conformation and working events. Jim has personally owner-handled multiple all-breed Best in Show winners, a National Specialty Winner, and several National Specialty Awards of Merit winners. He has also attended countless breed seminars, contributed time and resources to local rescue efforts, and assisted animal control, shelters, and other trainers in evaluating and working with large dominant breeds.

 

Jim is considered by many of the most experienced breeders and “old timers” as one of the true experts in the Cane Corso breed, especially in understanding their genetics and pedigrees. He is regarded as a “trainer’s trainer,” someone many other trainers turn to when they encounter challenging issues with large, dominant breeds. Jim’s deep knowledge of the breed and his practical experience have earned him respect and admiration in the dog world.

 

Jim has been an active member of multiple breed clubs and working clubs. He has volunteered his time with organizations like the ICCF, SACCI, and CCAA breed clubs. His expertise has been widely recognized, and he has held several prestigious roles within the Corso community, including:

   •   AKC Parent Breed Cane Corso Club Working Committee Chairperson

   •   SACCI National Specialty Working Judge

   •   SACCI National Specialty Certified Decoy

   •   AKC Parent Breed Cane Corso Club National Specialty Breed Specific Temperament Evaluator

   •   AKC Parent Breed Cane Corso Club & SACCI Working Club Decoy

   •   AKC Parent Breed Cane Corso Club Election Oversight Committee Chairperson

   •   AKC Parent Breed Cane Corso Club representative and overseer of the first-ever “Meet the Breeds” at the         Javits Center in New York City in 2010 when the Cane Corso first received AKC recognition

   •   The only American to judge at the 2017 Annual ICCF Raduno show, where he judged the prestigious          National Specialty Show with over 300 dogs

 

In closing, SirGard’s goal is to produce exceptional, healthy, and authentic Italian Cane Corsos with outstanding temperaments for you and your family to enjoy. SirGard stands behind every dog they breed and offers lifetime support to their clients.
