If you are looking for Cane Corso puppies in Utah from a responsible breeder who values health and temperament above trends, you are in the right place.
Who Tonya Is
For over 22 years, Cane Corso have been at the center of Tonya Crawford Schaeffer’s life. As a professional dog trainer, she has worked with nearly every breed. No breed compares to the intelligence, loyalty, and athletic ability of the Cane Corso.
They are also a powerful working breed that requires proper breeding, structure, and leadership. Tonya trains dogs full time and has extensive experience with strong, driven breeds. That hands-on training background shapes how Olympian raises and places every puppy.
Why Olympian Exists
After losing her first two Cane Corso to serious health conditions, Tonya committed to breeding differently. Responsible Cane Corso breeding in Utah means prioritizing health testing, stable temperament, and structural integrity above appearance.
At Olympian Cane Corso, the goal is to produce:
- Cane Corso that are exceptional family guardians
- Dogs with clear-headed working ability
- Stable, confident temperaments
- Structurally sound and health-tested bloodlines
Olympian produces only a couple of litters per year so each puppy can receive proper attention and thoughtful placement. Learn more about the program’s health testing approach.
Raised in Our Home in Sandy, Utah
Olympian Cane Corso is not a kennel operation. The dogs live inside Tonya’s home in Sandy, Utah, as part of the family.
Puppies are raised indoors and heavily socialized from an early age. They are exposed to household sounds, people, new environments, and early foundational training to help them grow into confident, balanced adults.
Every Olympian puppy is backed by a two-year health guarantee and lifetime breeder and training support.
Training Foundations That Start Early
At Olympian, training begins the moment a puppy is born. Through TLC Canine Coaching and Olympian Cane Corso, Tonya offers professional training programs designed to give Cane Corso puppies the structure they need.
The optional Puppy Prep Program is a three-week foundation that introduces crate training, potty-training foundations, early socialization, basic on-leash obedience, and structured routines. Families who want a deeper look at breed fit can also read Is a Cane Corso Right for You?

Because Olympian is a small hobby breeder, availability is limited. The Cane Corso is not for everyone. When placed in the right home, a Cane Corso becomes one of the most loyal and protective companions you will ever own.
