Finding the Right Cane Corso Puppy

videos

A journey overseas to Australia to meet and pick our cane corso puppy.

I started doing much research about cane corso over a year and half ago. I really wanted one but I wasn’t sure if it is too big for my house, if I can handle it’s energy level and drooling etc. I have made contacts with different breeders over the year in the U.S and Australia. I have very specific things on my list which made it very hard for me to find him, everything on my list are important to me to make him a family combo canine for my family:

1. Low energy. Cane corso is a working utility breed. The first cane corso owner I met told me I should not have one, they are only good for farms as they are full on dogs. Another breeder have honestly told me over a decade of breeding he had only 4 or 5 lazy corsos. It was nearly impossible for him to tell me if he could do it for me, more often people asked him how to calm them down. I really appreciate his helps but obviously it’s not for me so I kept looking. My cane corso lives inside with my toddler and my elderly mother visits a lot. In the long and wet winters I sometimes do not take the dogs out about for walk for a week if rain for a week straight. I cannot have an over energized 50 plus kgs dog roaming inside.

2. Minimal / Manageable drooling. A puppy bred from dam and sire with less jowls. Cane coros can drool. They drool less than other mastiff breeds but they can drool. But how much? Some do drool all over the walls, windows, people’s clothes and the owner has to either live with it or wipe after it constantly. Knowing myself and my family, I have to find one that has tighter facial skin and jowl for less mess. Some cane corso owners say their don’t really drool, some says theirs drool like a faucet.

3. Full main pedigree papers. This point cut me off from all breeders here in New Zealand. There are only 2 breeders in the country, both only sell with limited papers.

4. No line-bred or inbred in the past generations on papers. For health of course.

5. A cane corso like a true cane corso who likes to be with his owner like no one else. One which follow its owner everywhere like you are the only thing and the best thing in his life. I don’t want an independent dog. I want him really close to his family. Like my bully cross, if I left the door open, it is not even interested for roam outside and explor, it wants to be with her people. I want my corso to be the same.

6. Blue coat. It’s just personal preference. Some breeders had already lost interest talking to me after I had to have all the above met plus the colour has to be right as well. I specially said I only want blue (solid or blue brindle), nothing else. I believe if a breeder only breed for colour, it’s the worst. But it’s ok for a buyer to want only one specific colour, because it is what I really really want. Just like I want a cane corso not just any similar mastiff.

7. Temperament. Obviously, this is family combo canine!

Praise the Lord we found him.
