Imported cane corso pups uk

[Kieran]

Hi i have recently imported some cane corso pups to the UK that are for sale, my problem is I didn't know you wasn't allowed to put them on any websites to advertise them as every time I've searched I've always found imported pups on all the main websites, does anybody know where I can advertise them? They are absolutely stunning examples of the breed and are huge! Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Kieran

Most breeders have their own websites and don't typically import to sell as that would make them brokers.

Basically we have an adult bitch who was in a very bad way all skin and bone and riddled with worms when we got her, fast forward 14 months and we came across this beautiful litter that we currently have 4 pups of, I've wanted another corso since I got my bitch so I imported the 4 with plans to sell 3 and keep my favourite, we really do love the breed and want to share them with the rest of the uk as people are already importing them with no regard for the quality of life the pups have had like the bitch we ended up with so why not kill 2 birds with one stone and give people the opportunity to own top quality pups and hopefully in some small way effect the breeders or importers that don't really care about their dogs, basically I would want the end goal to be for them to not be able to sell or breed pups like that because people here would have the option of buying properly cared for dogs that aren't just treated as a piece of meat to sell to anyone

To be honest buddy I'm not really looking to be a full time importer I just thought it was a far better idea than it actually was lol

Im in the uk, i have 3 ccs, in the nearly 5 years since iv hot my first theres been a rapid increas of what i can wanna be breeders breeding them, every site as impots on, some still not sold and are 6 months old. There are so many now in rescue centres as people see the adorable pups and get them and they really dont know what they are doing, yes they are amazing i love the breed but they are not for unexperienced owners. I wish you luck in finding good homes for the pups, set your standards high, i can see this breed going down the same road as the rottweiller did years ago. Welcome to the forum

If I were you, I would network at some of the breed clubs and other dog events where the CC would potentially be a participant (barn hunts, agility, dock-diving, obedience rallies, shows, etc.)... hopefully you can find some potential owners that will love the dog and get them involved in some great CC activities, too. You could also try contacting some local dog trainers... they might have some distribution lists via newsletters or blogs that could help you get the word out.

Advertising online at 'for sale' sites (like ebay) will get you all sorts of troll responses and junk owner potential, anyway... with maybe 1-2% good responses to find through all the other fluff.

Getting the puppies out to doggie events will be great socialization for them, too. I'd certainly think that would be FUN for the human, as well!

Well thanks for your advice guys I forgot my password to log in but all pups are now sold, the female went just 45 mins drive away and the new owner has already sent us about 15 pics so we're very happy on that front, 2 males will be picked up next week to go to a lovely couple in Spain who have also offered me their guest house any time I want to see them so again very happy there! I believe I'm doing the right thing with the right intentions so hopefully I will become more involved with the breed as a whole, I plan on showing my male at FCI events he's only been with us for just over a week and he's already learned so much! Couldn't be happier it was well worth my wait and research! Thanks a lot again guys if anyone ever wants to meet for a play date with the dogs I'd be more than happy! Can never have too much socialism for our little fury kids now can we

Also another question if anybody can answer, the male I'm keeping has put on just over 1.5kg in around the 10-11 days I've owned him, am I over feeding him to compensate for my other dog being so small? I don't want to run into any health problems down the line, other 2 males are both eating the same amount but when they leave any he seems to steal it very quickly, he's 18.6kg now and although the other 2 aren't far behind (17.8 & 17.4kg) they look so much slimmer than him, thanks again guys

I disagree that they are not for inexperienced owners... to become experienced you have to start somewhere and get one!

When i say inexperienced owners i mean the ones that dont look into the breed at all they just see a blue pup fall in love and get them, then as they grow they hit problems, so so many are on sites for sale saying cant give him the time he needs they want homes without children or dogs as aggressive, weve helped rehome 2 in the last month that the vesr as had in to euthanise as the owners thought they were aggressive, but one when he was 4 months old had been left outside never been walked trained and then he hit 12 months and had enough he was barking at them and they thought he was aggressive, he had sores. The owners said he got bigger than they thought and couldnt afford to feed him, he was very underweight, these people had never owned a dog before.
So i agree if your willing to put the time in, do tonnes of research on the breed, and follow it through it can work.

These are all over the rescues in the states as well as being euthanized for owners that cannot handle a dominant dog. As soon as the dogs reach adulthood, they are in a pinch due to lack of serious training or socialization.
