DC Corso Puppy Application

We know many families have two working adults and we don't expect anyone to be a super hero and quit a day job just to be able to take home a puppy. Every puppy family has different needs, and this information form helps us identify who needs what information and what homes might make the best fit. If you're a veteran Cane Corso owner, we don't want to waste your time regaling things you already know; by the same token, if this is your first puppy or first Corso, we want to make sure you leave prepared for what life with a puppy may bring.

What to expect
Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from DC Corso, but it does not guarantee I'll get a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.

APPROVAL AND DEPOSIT: I will review applications within 5 business days of receipt. Applications are processed in the order they are received. If your home is a good fit, I'll notify you. If you would like to continue you may join our waiting list.

YOUR PICK OF PUPPY: Puppies will be assigned by waiting list order by the first or second preference of the depositor as indicated on the application. If neither of your choices are available, you may elect another puppy from the litter. We ask that you make a choice within 24 hours of notification since there may be other families waiting for a chance to choose. Should you elect to not take a puppy from the litter, the deposit is forfeited and the deposit applied to the costs of the deposit applied to finding the puppy another home.

GOING HOME: We cannot hold puppies for extended times; it is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. If you have a big vacation planned or have events that would conflict with a young puppy, please know puppies cannot be boarded in a kennel until they have received their full immunizations and their rabies vaccination which cannot be done until 3 months of age.

CONTRACT: DC Corso will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper so there are no questions later, and for that reason it's a bit lengthy. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.

REGISTRATION PAPERS: Our excellent family companions come with AKC registration papers.The litter will be registed with AKC but it is on you to finalize the paperwork and register your puppy. Our puppy are also eligable for dual registrations with ICCF if you choose to.
