How to spot a responsible Cane Corso breeder

A great breeder is easy to recognize once you know what to look for. Use this checklist before you put down a deposit or drive to meet a litter — it works the same way in every state.

Green flags — what a good breeder does

  • • Health-tests both parents: OFA or PennHIP hips, elbows, cardiac, and eyes (CAER) — and shows the results.
  • • Provides a written contract with a health guarantee and a spay/neuter or return clause.
  • • Asks you questions — about your home, schedule, experience with working breeds, and what happens if life changes.
  • • Welcomes an in-person or video visit; puppies are raised in a clean home or kennel environment with the dam present.
  • • Has a waitlist and takes deposits through traceable payment (bank transfer, Stripe, PayPal Goods & Services).
  • • Stays available after you take the puppy home — they answer questions for the dog's whole life.

Red flags — walk away

  • • "Rare color" markups, XL/XXL claims, or pressure to buy the last puppy today.
  • • No health testing, or vague answers like "the vet checked them."
  • • Wants payment by gift card, crypto, Zelle-only, or Western Union.
  • • Won't let you meet the dam or see where the puppies were raised.
  • • Ships puppies at 6–7 weeks, or has multiple litters ready at once, year-round.
  • • No written contract, or a contract that shifts every risk onto you.

Questions to ask a breeder

  • • "Can I see the OFA/PennHIP, cardiac, and eye results for both parents?"
  • • "How many litters do you produce each year? How is the dam recovering?"
  • • "What is your health guarantee, and what does it cover?"
  • • "What happens if I can't keep the dog at any point in its life?"
  • • "What temperament testing do you do on the puppies before placement?"
  • • "What are you breeding for — show, sport, working, family companion?"
