Hi All,
First off, thanks for welcoming me to this site. It seems like a great place to learn with a plethora of information from great posters. I live in NNJ outside of Manhattan and will be bringing home a Cane Corso in the beginning of April.
I am looking for some suggestions, feedback, tips, etc., from current/past owners of this breed or something very similar. Is there something most people overlook that is important?
How far in advance should I contact a vet? I have a few options around me - and since I am only a few months away - should I start to call around and see who has experience with big dog breeds? What should be a deciding factor with a Cane Corso vet?
I plan to bring the puppy to socialization classes and begin training right away. Is there anything I should do in this area? The breeder suggested Leerburg: The Power of Training with Food DVD. Is there anything else?
I am sure I will continue to post questions, but I thought I would stop here and wait for some feedback. Thanks!
