CANE CORSOS AKA "ITALIAN MASTIFFS"
General information The Cane Corso is a great guard dog, extremely loyal to its family and quite aloof with strangers. He has a very protective nature and yet is able to discern friend from foe. He instinctively knows when to become a terrifying, defensive and protective dog for its owner, his grounds, the house and the whole family. He should be submissive to his family and suspicious of strangers.
The Cane Corso is normally a quiet dog, barking only when alerted to a strange situation. Despite the breeds size they make excellent house dogs and are very athletic.
This breed needs socialization and as any large dog, owners should obedience train their dog. They get along well with children, protective yet gentle, seemingly aware of the child's helplessness and innocence. Their temperament is very stable. The Cane Corso devotedly loves his family. The Cane Corso requires a great deal of attention and training, so if your not prepared to make this commitment then maybe the Cane Corso is not the dog for you, also a person that doesn't have experience with a dominant dog. Corsos, especially males, can be very dominant and will challenge you for what he perceives to be leadership of the pack (your home and family). Considering their size and abilities it’s best that a person who has experience with this type of behavior should own one.
The Cane Corso is an excellent guard dog, generally staying on his grounds. He has a strong sense of territory. The Cane Corso loves attention from his family, he is gentle with the children seemingly aware of there vulnerability. His look is bold and noble. The Corso until a few years ago was bred just for his working abilities. Keep in mind that these dogs are only off the farms since 1988. The Corso has a dominant nature especially towards other dogs. If he's raised with other dogs he should be fine with them. He should be socialized with other animals at an early age. The Corso will not run from a fight and will not back down from a challenge. Most Cane Corsos have a reserved nature towards strangers. Basically they have to get to know you before they become overly friendly towards you. This behavior is totally acceptable given this breeds history as a guard dog.
Socialization is a must for the Cane Corso. The best place to start is puppy kindergarten, you can start as early as 8 weeks. Your Corso will learn to interact with adults, children and other dogs, as well as learn basic obedience (sit, down, come and stay) Your kindergarten instructor will also be able to help you with problems you may be having with your puppy such as housebreaking, dominance and destructive chewing habits. It’s basically a good way for you an your puppy to get off on the right foot and have a successful relationship. Your vet should be able to recommend a school in your area. It is strongly recommended that obedience training become a permanent part of your Corsos life. It doesn't have to be in formal school but you should continue to work with the dog. This will serve to keep you established as the pack leader.
The Cane Corso bonds quickly to his family and becomes quite attached especially to the children. They enjoy being included in the family activities. Their high level of athleticism lends itself to include such activities as bike riding, swimming, long walks, jogging, or just playing fetch. It is not a good idea to get a Corso and just throw him in the yard and forget about him. He can handle the weather but what he can not handle is being isolated from his family. Corsos (dogs in general) are social animals and need companionship. To deprive them of that is cruel. Corsos make excellent house or apartment dogs however keep in mind the dog requires daily exercise. Ask your community leaders about dog runs or dog friendly parks. If there are none in your area a long walk or a little jogging should do nicely for both you and your dog.

*Please note that all dogs sold are sold as ‘pet’ quality only, with no breeding rights. The dam is not CCFI registered however the Sire is and puppies from the two are not registerable for breeding purposes under CCFI requirements.
Each Puppy will have it’s tail docked and dewclaws removed by our personal vet. Puppy will also have received it’s first shots and been wormed. Veterinary Health certificates are also included with our puppies as well. Puppy is guaranteed to be healthy upon delivery or pick-up. Buyer has 24 hours to take puppy to their licensed vet if there is any problem, and seller must be contacted within 48 hours for guarantee to be valid. (We do, however, recommend taking your new pup to meet your vet and to get a check up regardless.) If puppy is found to be fatally ill within 24 hours of delivery/pickup, puppy will be replaced with a pup from the next litter of the same sex/ quality. This does not include communicable viruses,diseases,flus or colds that can be fatal.
All dogs sold are guaranteed against Crippling Hip Displaysia for the period of one year. If a dog is found to be displastic, seller reserves the right to ask for a qualified second opinion. Seller must be notified within 7 days of the failing x-ray.
If a dog is found to be dysplastic and meets criteria listed above, a replacement puppy will be provided from the next available litter, of the same sex/ quality, upon proof of spay/ neuter.
If a dog is found to have a genetically inherited health problem within 3 months of age, that is of sufficient severity to require mandatory, permanent medication, or significantly effect the ability of the dog to lead a full and healthy life, a replacement of the same sex/quality will be provided upon proof of spay/ neuter. Jennifer Giammarco reserves the right to have first option of return if buyer is unable to keep the dog. Buyer is also required to notify seller if they must give the dog up for any reason, so that seller may assist in finding an appropriate home for the dog.
If buyer is convicted, in a court of law, of animal abuse or neglect while dog is in their ownership, said dog will be returned to seller with no refund or compensation.
Seller acknowledges that nature is not always predictable and that a puppy of their desired sex/ quality may not be available. If this is the case, their deposit will be applied to the next litter if not chosen and description written in above at time of signing. We do not guarantee color- we will try our best to help with your preference, however, we believe that when matching puppies to their new owners, sex/ quality, and disposition are the most important factors. We also beleive that a large factor of having a happy, healty and safe large dog is to give it a good start with puppy kindergarten and crate training from day one of bringing your puppy home. They will be crated before they leave to give them the best possible transition to their new homes. Please be responsible and see a qualified trainer when your puppy is complete with his/her sets of puppy shots!
In the event of any legal dispute, Florida state law applies.
