Question 1

What is your application process?

Accepted Answer

We ask interested families to submit our puppy application so we can learn about your home, experience, and what you're looking for in a Cane Corso. From there, we follow up to discuss your application, answer any questions, and walk through next steps and timing together.

Question 2

Do you require a deposit to reserve a puppy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy. The deposit is applied toward the puppy's total purchase price.

Question 3

What health testing do you perform on your breeding dogs?

Accepted Answer

Health testing is a foundational priority in our program. Our stud, Sir Shadow, has completed OFA evaluations for hips (Good) and elbows (Normal), along with a cardiac exam (Normal/Clear). We are actively working to expand health testing across our dogs and future generations as our program develops.

Question 4

Will my puppy be vaccinated and vet-checked before I bring them home?

Accepted Answer

Puppies are raised with attentive care in our home. For specific vaccination schedules, deworming protocols, and veterinary records for a given litter, please ask us directly — we're happy to walk you through exactly what's been done before placement.

Question 5

How does puppy pickup or transportation work?

Accepted Answer

Families may arrange local pickup in Surrey, British Columbia. For families located farther away, transportation may also be arranged by air with a dedicated flight nanny. Availability and transportation costs will depend on the destination and travel requirements. Please contact us to discuss the available options.

Question 6

How should I prepare for a Cane Corso puppy?

Accepted Answer

Cane Corsos are large, intelligent, and powerful dogs that thrive with firm, fair leadership, early and ongoing socialization, and consistent training. Before bringing one home, we recommend researching the breed thoroughly, puppy-proofing your home, securing a fenced yard where possible, and lining up a trainer or training plan in advance.

Question 7

Do you offer support with training and socialization?

Accepted Answer

We remain available as a resource for our puppy families from your first inquiry through life with your dog, and we're glad to share guidance on socialization and training as your puppy grows.

Question 8

Is a Cane Corso right for every household?

Accepted Answer

No. The Cane Corso is not a breed suited for those looking for an "easy" dog, frequent off-leash freedom in uncontrolled environments, or a guardian without daily involvement. This breed thrives in experienced homes that understand leadership, engagement, structure, and long-term responsibility. If you're unsure whether a Cane Corso fits your lifestyle, we encourage you to reach out and ask questions before applying.
