Placing
the puppies we raise in their new homes is a responsibility
we take very seriously. All our puppies are sold on a Show or Companion Contract.
Companion puppies are sold on a sterilization agreement. Companion
puppies from About Time Acres are NOT the undesirable pups
from a litter. They are simply pups who will not be used
for breeding. They are quite often show quality, and are
sold with the same Guarantee. (We do not offer "breeding
quality"Corsos - we believe that if a dog is not show quality
it is not worthy of being bred.)
If
you are interested in one of our puppies, please take a minute
to fill out our online puppy application & we will contact
you promptly. References will be required.
Reputation
is Everything to us. The quality and health
of the dogs we breed speaks louder than anything we could
ever say. When it comes to breeding a sound and healthy
corso, we make no compromises. Many breeders simply claim
their dogs are health tested/certified... and they count
on the fact that many buyers won't bother to search the
OFA database to verify this. Don't Be Fooled! We provide you with the link directly to the OFA site for
each of our dog's certificates. We have nothing to hide,
and we're proud of it!
If you're looking for a cheap pup, look elsewhere. Just keep in mind the difference between "Price"
and "Cost". You can find a corso pup for a cheap
price. The question to ask yourself NOW, is if saving a
couple hundred dollars on the Price is worth the Cost. Is
it worth the Cost of thousands of dollars in vet bills when
your corso develops hip dysplasia? Is it worth the Cost
of watching your family's companion suffer because he was
carelessly bred by someone out to "make a buck"?
Is it worth the Cost of your children's tears when their
beloved pet has to be put down at a young age because he
can't stand/walk anymore? PLEASE, before you compromise
and purchase that cheaper pup for a lesser Price, ask yourself
if it will really be worth the Cost in the end.
If
you are looking for a healthy affordable quality dog, you're
in the right place. Our Cane Corso pups
are sold on a Contract, with a Full Health Guarantee. Our
contract is designed with the dog in mind, also to protect
both buyer and seller. Our primary concern is the care of
our pups. In the event of a health problem with your About
Time Corso, our contract DOES NOT require you to return
your loved pet to receive a refund/replacement. (Beware
of any contracts that do require the dog's return, as a
number of breeders will use this as a detriment to keep
from actually having to replace the dog / refund your money.)

While
many breeders will *tell* you that their pups are
"healthy and guaranteed" any "guarantee"
is ONLY as good as what you get in writing. An About
Time Guarantee will provide you with peace of mind
knowing that we fully stand behind every puppy we
sell.
* The Purchaser has read and fully understands the terms of our Contract/Guarantee and agrees to comply with them. Buyer, by sending payment and purchasing an "About Time" Cane Corso, agrees in full to the terms of our Contract/Guarantee & Purchase Agreement, and agrees to provide Breeder with a signed copy of said agreement.

High
Standards produce Quality Corsos. We have
been asked why our prices are high. We would rather explain
to you now why our price is high, than explain to you later
why our quality was poor. We would rather explain to you
now why we breed so selectively, than explain to you later
why your loved family companion is sick. Quite often, you
do "get what you pay for". We care about providing
you with the Best Quality possible.
A Deposit of $500 is
required to Reserve an About Time Cane Corso puppy. The
deposit will be applied toward the total purchase price.
Advance
Reservations are accepted on a limited basis
for each litter. Pups may be chosen at 6 weeks of age in
the order reservation deposits were placed. Remaining pups
will be made available on a first-come-first-serve basis
to approved homes.
Shipping is available after your pup reaches 8 weeks of age if you
are unable to personally pick up your new puppy. While you
are welcome to come visit in person, we realize a trip to
New Mexico is not feasible for everyone. We select the airline
we ship on with the safety of the puppies in mind, and the
care they will receive in route. We have never had a problem
with the safety of our shipped puppies.
A
Home for Life. Every
About Time Cane Corso that we breed is guaranteed a home for
life with us if needed. We believe that if we bring a dog
into this world, we have the responsibility to make sure that
dog always has a loving home and does not end up unwanted,
abandoned, and spending its last days alone in a shelter run. The biggest and most important commitment a breeder
can make is to take responsibility for the lives they produce.
We Do.
Thank
You for considering an About Time Cane Corso!
