Looking for a male Corso close to S.E. Louisiana to mate with my female

Ive been going back and forth about breeding Nera. Female all black Corso 2.5 years old. I don't want to do it for the money. Honestly she's the most obedient amazing dog I've ever seen, much less owned. Id like to get a male puppy from her before i get her fixed.

p.s. this is my first post on here so i'm not sure how the notification process works.

Have you had her health tested? She may have health issues that have not presented yet or could carry genes for problems she may never have but could be passed to her offspring. In no way trying to insult you or your dog, just steps many fail to take that can lead to inept lines and a detioration of the breed itself. Also from what I've heard on here no one reputable will breed without the health tests. It does cost money to have done but the reward greatly outweighs the monetary cost

What can your female offer the breed besides the fact that you think she is the most amazing dog in the world? I don't say that in a nasty way or to be mean but each pairing should be to improve on something and while I have no doubt she is fabulous you also need to be objective. My <3 girl is a pet that I wouldn't trade for the most perfect corso in the world. At one time I was right where you were, thought I want one just like her but fate intervened and I learned so much from her and researched and studied so much more because she is where my passion stemmed from.

If you truly think your female has something wonderful to add to the breed then have her health screens done (hips at a minimum), have her honestly evaluated and be ready and able to talk about her faults and strengths without getting defensive about your girl as it benefits no one when this happens. Then search for a male that can improve on her faults while not compromising what she has to offer. It took me around 3 to 3.5 years to finally settle on a stud for the female I am breeding this summer.

You also need to ensure that anything you produce you are willing to take back, we have rescues and shelters being over-run with dogs that people bred for profit, so their kids could experience birth, etc. We also have stability issues in our breed as those same people are not ensuring that the dogs they are breeding have correct, stable temperament in the dogs they are breeding.

Breeding is not a cheap undertaking, to be honest it is likely easier to go back to the breeder that you got your female from and see if they are using either of the dogs still and purchase another one. Genetics are a tricky thing and there is no guarantee that you will get a reproduction of your female simply because she is contributing 1/2 the genetics. You also needs to face the very real truth that breeding can be dangerous for the female and complications can put your female at risk, not just the puppies so go into a breeding aware that anything can go wrong and it could mean the life of your female.

I am always here if you have specific questions that I can help with. You can PM me or email me if you don't see me active on here but I do try to get on at least a couple times a week.

Wow I don't know how the OP feels about you guys responses but I salute you both.
You both show respect to the breed and to the request of the OP.

Whenever I think about having a litter of puppies around, I think about the potential health risks to the Momma-dog... they are not small.
I'm not willing to put my dog through that much work and add the potential to lose her to complications.

There are so many good puppies out there already, and genetics is just one piece of what makes them a good companion.
