Iconic Corso was established by Christopher Torres. Christopher’s love for dogs began as a young child when he lived with his grandparents, who were two of the best breeders and handlers at the time. He learned all the hard work and dedication that went into it through cleaning kennels, feeding, and caring for all the dogs. The ultimate satisfaction came through the bond and relationship he created with the dogs through playing with and training them. As he got older, he had the opportunity to work with many other breeds. In the early 2000’s he acquired his first personal dog. He was an American Staffordshire Terrier by the name of Hades. It was then he realized how much he appreciated a dog with athleticism and a high drive to work. Around that same time, Christopher received a job offer from his uncle in Kansas, whom was also a breeder. During that time, he was able to continue his training and knowledge of breeding dogs.
As a young adult, Christopher moved to Colorado, started a successful construction company and had 3 kids. He decided to become a hobby breeder and had a couple litters of his own. He enjoyed it thoroughly but he felt something just wasn’t right. The purpose he was looking to fulfill wasn’t being met. A few more years went by and Christopher met and married Holly, also a big dog lover, and had 2 more girls. They decided it was time to get another puppy. That started into motion a snowball effect. He started remembering all the times growing up with dogs and the great experiences he had, and everything it taught him, and wanted to provide the same for his children. He started researching dog breeds. He started looking up groups and events in the area and found the AKC and all the events they offer, along with the owner-handler series and JR handler events for the kids. This was all great but he still wasn’t sure what breed he wanted to be apart of. He knew it had to be short haired, high drive with a willingness to work, and great family dogs. They also needed to be great protectors and guardians. Most importantly, it needed to be smart and have a great temperament.
Along came the Cane Corso. Chris did 100’s and 100’s of hours of research on the breed and fell in love. Chris became obsessed with having a different purpose. He wanted to strive to better the breed and bring awareness and knowledge to all seeking it. He then knew how his upbringing with dogs would all connect. His dream became a reality as he formed Iconic Corso Kennel.
Iconic Corso was developed specifically to improve the breed. Christopher acquired pups from all over the world and from the best bloodlines that there are. He has since made his presence in the Corso Community well known and has built friendships and mentorships in and out of the show ring. Since Iconic Corso was founded, they have acquired several Championship titles and other awards! He works with the best breeders around the world and you can rest assured you will always get the best from him!
