| How much can I expect to pay for a Cane Corso puppy? Prices vary depending on the breeding pair and conformational quality of the puppy. Our prices range $1,600.00 to $2,500.00. Producing a quality litter is very expensive. Health testing, temperament testing, competition fees, stud fees, travel, hotels, veterinary bills, registrations, kennel expenses, food and our time are all absorbed into the cost of producing your puppy. I found a puppy cheaper with another breeder, why should I buy from you? Quality, breeder knowledge and reliability are important. We have ten years of breeding experience and are always looking to improve our knowledge and our program. David’s credentials (which are listed on our contact page) are a testament to the time and effort we put into understanding what is required of a working prospect. As for myself, I am a neonatal/ pediatric transport RRT which means I attend all high risk deliveries at our level 3 Children’s hospital. I bring this medical knowledge to every puppy whelping and raising of the litter. This knowledge and experience are important in being able to help you choose the puppy that best suits your needs. What is a working kennel? Every top quality kennel has a purpose to breeding. Our kennel’s focus is on producing the temperament and athletic ability necessary to do various types of protection sports and training in addition to agility work. All of our breeding pairs are from dogs with generations of training behind them. This is important as temperament and health are inherited. Does this mean your dogs are more aggressive? We expect more from our dogs than other kennels. Our dogs are expected to have a stable temperament with the ability to ascertain a threat from a non-threat. You can see this put to the test with the video clip of Elly Mae doing bitework at a children’s camp and then immediately walking among the children.

Many of our puppy buyers do not protection train their dog or use their dog in any type of work. We also show our dogs to ensure we are breeding within the standard. Our objective is to produce a dog that looks like a Cane Corso yet has the skill necessary to do a job. If you could purchase your puppy from a breeder who expects more from their breeding stock, why settle for less? Stacey Kuneman, BS, RRT-NPS Amore Cane Corso |
