Question 1

Can I choose the puppy before it is born?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the waiting list for planned litters. Waiting list members have priority on puppy selection according to the order of registration and the deposit made.

Question 2

Do you ship to other cities or countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate national and international shipments with companies specialized in animal transport. Shipping costs are additional and vary by destination. For international shipments, we manage all necessary health and customs documentation.

Question 3

Can I visit the kennel before reserving?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Visits are scheduled in advance and are welcome. We believe that seeing the facilities, the breeding dogs and the environment in which our puppies grow up is fundamental to making the best decision.

Question 4

At what age is the puppy delivered?

Accepted Answer

Our puppies are delivered from 8-9 weeks of age, never earlier. This time is essential for socialization with the mother and siblings, progressive weaning and the start of the vaccination schedule.

Question 5

What documentation do I receive when purchasing a puppy?

Accepted Answer

You will receive: signed sales contract, original FCI pedigree, European passport, veterinary health certificate, vaccination record, deworming sheet, microchip card and initial care guide.

Question 6

What is the puppy reservation process like?

Accepted Answer

The process begins with a contact or reservation request through the form. Once discussed and agreed, a 30% deposit is paid to secure the puppy's availability. The rest is paid at delivery. The deposit is refundable only if, for reasons attributable to the breeder, the puppy cannot be delivered.

Question 7

What does the puppy price include?

Accepted Answer

The price includes: processed FCI pedigree, ISO microchip, veterinary health certificate, complete vaccination and deworming schedule at delivery, European passport, sales contract and health guarantee, and lifetime support from the kennel for any questions.

Question 8

What health guarantee do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 24-month genetic health guarantee against severe hip dysplasia and serious hereditary diseases that prevent the dog's life. If the conditions of the contract are met, the specimen is replaced with a puppy from the next available litter.

Question 9

Are Cane Corsos good with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they make excellent family companions. With the children in their household, they are usually patient, gentle, and highly protective. However, due to their giant size and power, playtime should always be supervised by an adult to prevent accidental bumps. It is also vital to teach children how to respect the dog's boundaries.

Question 10

Do Cane Corsos drool a lot?

Accepted Answer

The Cane Corso has tighter jowls (lips) than other mastiff breeds (like the Neapolitan Mastiff), so they drool significantly less on a daily basis. However, they may drool a bit after drinking water, during heavy physical exercise, or when anticipating food.

Question 11

Is a Cane Corso recommended for first-time owners?

Accepted Answer

Generally, they are not recommended for owners without prior experience with large guardian breeds. The Cane Corso is intelligent and protective, requiring a confident, consistent handler who understands socialization. Without clear structure, they may take it upon themselves to run the household.

Question 12

What is the average lifespan and common health issues?

Accepted Answer

The average lifespan of a Cane Corso is 9 to 12 years. As a giant breed, the most common health concerns are hip and elbow dysplasia, eye issues (ectropion/entropion), cardiac conditions, and bloat (gastric torsion). This is why buying from health-screened parents is critical.
