Vaccinations
The earliest you will be able to take your puppy home is 8 weeks, believe it or not, but this is the law in many states. Each puppy will receive their first puppy vaccination at 6-8 weeks. Any of our remaining pups will receive follow up shots every 2-4 weeks. We recommend you consult your Corso’s chosen veterinarian for guidance on further vaccinations once you have welcomed him or her into your home. Now is a good time to mention that as part of our agreement with you, we require you to have your new Cane Corso puppy checked by a veterinarian within 2 days/48 hours of welcoming the puppy into your home.
*Please note, even at 8 weeks your puppy will not be fully vaccinated. It is imperative that you protect your new Cane Corso puppy from potentially fatal diseases such as Parvo on your journey home. We advise you not to allow your puppy to visit areas such as rest stops or even your local pet store until your Corso is fully vaccinated. It is best, in our opinion, to use “puppy pads” to allow your puppy to relieve him or herself on the journey home. In addition, we recommend that you limit any interaction your puppy has with other dogs, unless you are certain of their vaccination and health status.
Deworming
Each puppy born in our kennel will be de-wormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks old. After you have taken possession of your Cane Corso puppy, we recommend you consult your chosen veterinarian for advice on further parasite control.
Ear Cropping
​
Perhaps one of the most controversial topics in the dog world and the Cane Corso world in particular is whether or not to ear crop and whether or not it should even be legal. As this is such a controversial and volatile topic, we have chosen to stay out of the back-and-forth argument. Simply put, unless you have picked a specific puppy, placed a non-refundable deposit, and specifically stated that you DO NOT want your Corso to have their ears cropped, they will be cropped. Any Corso puppies that have not been picked by the time they are 8 weeks old, will have their ears cropped.
Are ear crops for all intents and purposes more cosmetic than functional? It is a voluntary procedure that has its own set of risks. We will work with you and our veterinarians, who are some of the best in central Kansas, to ensure your puppy receives your preference in ear crop style. Please note that the standard calls for an equilateral triangle. However, as noted above the results cannot be guaranteed.
​
To be totally transparent on the topic, we would like to share our experience with the procedure, and what to expect. We will transport your Cane Corso puppy to the veterinarian and speak with him about each puppy. We have personally sat through the surgical procedure and observed as it was being done. Your dog will be fully sedated, no pain will be felt. After your pups ears have been cropped the veterinarian will suture the incision closed and your pup will be monitored until it recovers from sedation. Prior to leaving the veterinarian, he performs one last health check on each pup, with us in the room, observing. The veterinarian provides medication for pain control and antibiotics. After this we transport your puppy home. We will keep you updated on the well being of your chosen puppy throughout the process.
​
Once we are home, we will provide the after care for your puppy, until you pick him or her up. When you pick up your puppy, you will be given after care instructions. Remember your puppy will more than likely still have sutures in its ears, we recommend you consult a veterinarian for assistance in their removal.
​
After the sutures have been removed and all scabs have healed, posting or taping may be required. This is something we are happy to help with, either in person or video chat when possible. There are also numerous YouTube videos on the topic.
You may be wondering, why do dogs even have their ears cropped? Why not leave them “natural”? The argument can be made that no modern dog is “natural.” That if you look in the wild you will not find a single wolf or coyote with “floppy” ears. Some will say that cropping ears prevents the Corso from having ear infections, we can not confirm or deny this argument. Some will say people who used their dogs for fighting purposes believed cropping ears made it more difficult for an opposing dog to control another’s head in a fight. Here is what we can tell you, it is a personal choice. If you choose to have your Corsos’ ears cropped, it is best to have the procedure done sooner rather than later.
​
Dew Claws
​
Typically front dew claws are removed when the puppy is between 3 to 5 days old. We do not remove the front dew claws on our Cane Corso puppies. For the longest time, it was thought that removal of the front dew claws, especially for working breed dogs such as the Cane Corso was a must. It was believed that the dew claw would get caught while the dog was “working” and it would lead to a painful injury which might lead to the dog being unable to complete it’s job, or work until the injury healed.
Think of the dew claw as your thumb and how difficult it would be to function without your thumb. We are in no way saying that a dogs’ anatomy is anything similar to a human, but it does not take much to see the similarities. Front dew claws are used by dogs for gripping, quick changes in direction, sudden acceleration, and other similar activities. There is also evidence which can be easily found by way of a simple Google search, that indicates a heightened risk of arthritis in dogs that have had their front dew claws removed. Currently, Lyra is the only Cane Corso in our program with dew claws removed.

​
Tail Docking
​
It is very rare to see a Cane Corso with an '"undocked" tail in the Wichita area. The breed standard calls for tails to be docked at the 4th vertebrae on a Cane Corso, if the tail is to be docked at all. All Cane Corso puppies produced in our program will have their tails docked between 3-5 days old.
Tail docking is again, in our opinion another controversial topic, just not as controversial as ear cropping. A well-known Cane Corso breeder, conformation competitor and AKC judge described it as a handle. He stated that the tail should be looked at as if were a handle that would allow it’s owner to grab it and pull away from harm. Interestingly, Italy, the birth place of the Cane Corso forbids any Cane Corso with docked tails and/or cropped ears from participating in canine sports.
Spay & Neuter info
For the longest time, it was common practice to spay or neuter dogs as early as possible. This is primarily due to irresponsible ownership. There have been studies that show spaying or neutering your Cane Corso could lead to loss of bone mass. Dogs who are spayed or neutered may have up to 70% increased risk of developing hip dysplasia. Dogs who are spayed or neutered may be twice as likely to develop cancer, including bone cancer. Dogs who are spayed or neutered too early are at an increased risk of developing negative behavioral issues and finally dogs who are spayed or neutered too early have a greater risk of developing hypothyroidism.
For these reasons, we do not recommend neutering your male dog, just be responsible… In regards to females, we recommend allowing them to fully mature prior to spaying them. Any female that is purchased from us will be required to be spayed at the appropriate time. Again, as with any other medical issues, these are our opinions. We are not medical experts, we recommend you consult the veterinarian of your choice for guidance. That being said, spaying or neutering your Cane Corso puppy too soon will void our health guarantee.
Socialization
​
At Vae Victis Cance Corso, part of our mission is to provide puppies of the highest quality and temperament. We believe that socializing puppies is one of the most important parts of raising them, and so we take special care to ensure that our puppies are given plenty of love and attention.
Puppies produced at our kennel are raised inside our home alongside our small children. We understand that the first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life are critical, and so we strive to make sure that our puppies are exposed to as many new scenarios as possible, with no stress. We also understand that socialization needs to continue with the new owner into adulthood, and so we offer advice and support to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible. Finally, we believe that regular walks outside can be of great benefit to puppies, and so we encourage our owners to do this as often as possible. As Kansas residing in the Wichita area, we are well versed in the difficulties extreme weather can present. For several months of the year, the weather in the Wichita / South Central Kansas and surrounding areas can be too hot or too cold. We recommend taking advantage of the many local shopping areas and other business that are friendly to your Cane Corso. Of course, please ensure your Cane Coros is fully vaccinated...

VAE VICTIS Cane Corso Registration Requirements
​
We require each of the Cane Corso puppies produced by our kennel to registered with the American Kennel Club. Additionally, we require each of our show/competition prospect puppies to carry the prefix “Vae Victis.” After that you are free to give your Cane Corso puppy any name you would like. It should be noted that the American Kennel Club allows up to 36 characters, including the kennel name/Vae Victis.
Many wonder why we do this. To be honest, when we got into the world of Cane Corsos we wondered the same thing. Think of it like a last name, or a way to permanently associate the dog with the kennel which it came from. Responsible breeders put thousands of dollars into health testing, showing, competing, and registering their dogs. We are simply proud of our accomplishments and keeping a kennel name at the beginning of a dogs name is a way of telling everyone where your dog came from. In addition, we will pay your Cane Corso puppy’s registration fee with the American Kennel Club.
​
Call names and registered names, what is the difference? Your Cane Corso’s registered name is simply it’s formal name. It’s call name is the name you call it every day. An easy way to explain this is by comparing it to your name. People do not call you by your first, middle and last name, only by your first. We will use one of our dogs to explain this further. Take “Vae Vicits Call Sign Chaos” aka Mattis. Can you imagine calling him and using his registered name? “Vac Victis Call Sign Chaos, come!” that would not only be comical but also unreasonable. In comparison, “Mattis, come!” is much more reasonable. So, if you’d like to give your Cane Corso puppy an elaborate, creative name, feel free to, you can register him under that name and in day to day life call him whatever you’d like.
An interesting note on names… In some European countries it is common practice for a breeder to require all puppy names in a litter to start with the same letter. The “assigned” letter changes with each litter and progresses through the alphabet. For example, puppies from the first litter would be required to begin with A. The second litter would be required to begin with B, then C and so on.
Shipping and Transport Services
​
We offer private transport services for our Cane Corso extended family. One of the benefits our breeding program being located in the mid-west, Wichita Kansas to be exact, is that we are centrally located. This makes transport to surrounding areas relatively convenient. Kansas City, Topeka, Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska, Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and even Dallas Texas are all within a half days drive. In the past, our transport service has used ground and air travel. We will do our best to act as a liaison between you and our transport services to ensure the most cost-effective but more importantly, the safest means of transport. Please note, there are special requirements for air travel. For those choosing air transport, we recommend the Sherpa large pet carrier. We have used it multiple times without issues.
​
If your Cane Corso puppy is to be transported by ground, we will provide an appropriate sized kennel to help ensure your puppy arrives safely. Please note, the transport kennel is not included in the transportation fee. In addition, please see paragraph 2 of the Vae Victis Cane Corso puppy section for information on transporting a puppy that has not been fully vaccinated.
*As each destination is unique, we are unable to provide a shipping estimate on our website.
