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 Cane Corsos. Jim has owned, worked with, bred and evaluated thousands of Cane Corsos/Large Dominant Breeds and 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 the First ever Cane Corso AKC Meet the Breeds at the Javits Center in NYC in 2010 and was the ICCF National Specialty Judge in 2017. For the last six or seven years Jim & Barbara have taken a break from showing/breeding and breed politics to focus on his kids/family and his businesses.
