Buying Info Finding a committed, honest
and responsible breeder can take some time, but will be time well spent while choosing your new companion. We have been through a lot of hard work, time,
money and heartache to get where we are now and we’re still not where we want to be. We try to educate perspective puppy buyers along the way to hopefully avoid some of
the problems we have encountered………no matter where they purchase their puppy!!!
Take the time First
you should determine if this is the breed for you. The Corso needs to have a dedicated owner who is committed to making time
for training, socialization, leadership and exercise from the day you bring your puppy home. You
should also know what you are looking for. Educate yourself on the breed standard so you know what a Cane Corso should look
like. Even if you are not intending to show or breed your Corso should still look like a Corso. When looking for a puppy,
don’t get caught up in sales pitches such as: v Champion blood lines v Italian blood lines v Big dogs v Color v Low prices None
of these things guarantee temperament or ensures a Corso representing the breed standard. There
are a lot of poorly bred Cane Corsos with narrow heads and long, pointy muzzles. There are a lot of people jumping into breeding
without doing proper research or health and hip testing, they simply put two dogs together just because they have a male and
a female and think they can make fast money without putting much into it. A
good breeder should be breeding to improve the quality of the breed. Things
to think about: Make
sure your breeder can replace your puppy if needed. Someone with one or two dogs may not be able to replace a puppy or may
take a long time to do so.... also does the breeder have any other dogs you would be interested in having a puppy from? What
you should receive from your breeder: v Written health guarantee/contract. v Registration papers on show or breed quality. v Vaccine/de-worming records. v Health clearance from veterinarian. v Training tips. v Lifetime breeder support. Breeders should always ask the buyer questions, such as: v What are
your living arrangements? v Have
you owned a dominant breed before? v Do
you currently own other pets? v Do
you have experience with this particular breed? v What
are you looking for in this particular breed? v Do
you have children? v Do
you intend to breed or show? A breeder should make sure the buyer will be able
to control and adequately train the dog. A breeder
who is ethical and dedicated to the breed will always be willing to take in or help with rescue dogs providing
space is available. |
