The story behind UNICO SUO GENEREUSG

The accidental beginning

The Founder of USG did not begin this path as a business idea. It began from something very simple: since childhood, the desire was to live with a dog, even when that was not yet possible.

Later, when I became independent, built a family, and could afford a dog, I needed a guard dog for my warehouse. I knew Rottweilers only roughly as guard dogs. Then, by chance, a friend told me about a dog that someone wanted to give or sell him, but he lived in an apartment and knew such a dog was a serious responsibility.

He said the breed was Cane Corso. That was the first time I heard the name. I started reading, asking, and within about a week I already felt: this is my dog. I drove there without real criteria for sex, size, or choice. When I saw the mother and father, I was honestly startled by their powerful presence, even though there was no aggression. The last promised puppy had not been taken. That is how Mark I came to me.

Learning with Mark I

When I took Mark I, I did not yet understand what owning a Cane Corso truly meant. I learned by asking the owners of his parents, speaking with veterinarians, reading, and trying to care for him properly.

Mark I grew very well. He became stronger, more powerful, and larger than his brothers, even though he had been the last puppy left. For me that stayed symbolic: sometimes the one left last becomes the one of a kind.

Hera and the life around them

I started falling in love with the breed. Mark I was no longer just a guard dog for me. He was presence, character, and bond. I wanted him to have a companion, and that is how Hera came into the story.

Mark I and Hera became inseparable. Walks together, the big yard together, everyday life together. Even though they had separate houses, they often chose to sleep together. For me they were not just two dogs. They were a pair.

Nature, responsibility, and the people test

For me Cane Corso has never been a business. I have never forced the process or treated these dogs as production. I respect natural life and my role has always been to care, protect, help, and keep the Canes healthy and happy.

Over time Hera and Mark I had 57 puppies. I did not sell any of them. I gifted them. But I never gave them randomly. Every person had to pass my personal conversation — how they planned to raise the dog, where it would live, how they understood care, strength, character, and responsibility.

Not everyone who wants a Cane Corso is ready for a Cane Corso. When someone did not give me confidence, I refused. Some people came from other cities and I even covered their travel costs, because it was more important that a Cane Corso did not end up in the wrong home.

Cane Corso is CANE CORSO

At some point I stopped speaking about Cane Corso as just a dog. I do not say this to insult other breeds or the people who love them. Every bond between a person and a dog is valuable. But for me Cane Corso became something different.

When I speak about mine, I do not say “my dog”. I say “my Cane”. Because for me Cane Corso is strength, calmness, dignity, loyalty, and a presence that is hard to explain.

Thor, Reia, Mark II, Ara, and Broly

Because of that love I began traveling around Bulgaria to see different colors, types, structures, and expressions of Cane Corso. That is how Thor, the fawn Cane Corso, entered the story. And because Mark I and Hera were a pair, I wanted Thor to have his companion too — Reia.

From Mark I and Hera I kept Mark II. He was the continuation of the first chapter. Later Ara came as his companion. Broly, also a son of Mark I and Hera from another litter, returned home after almost two years because the person I had gifted him to became ill and could no longer care for him.

For me Cane Corso is not given and forgotten. I still keep contact with many people who received a Cane Corso from me. If I learn there is a problem, I try to help. I will never leave my Cane Corso unsupported.

Why USG exists

My Cane Corso do not have official pedigrees or certificates. That does not mean they are not real to me. Documents matter. Official standards matter. But a Cane Corso is not only a document. It is structure, character, care, history, presence, and a bond with the person.

Over the years I began observing that many Cane Corso in Bulgaria carry the spirit of the breed while sometimes looking different from strict standard frames — often larger or heavier. I do not present this as an official standard. It is a personal observation and a direction for respectful research.

USG — UNICO SUO GENERE — was born from this path: history, care, observation, knowledge, responsibility, and respect for Cane Corso.
