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.)
* 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.

All About Time Cane Corso puppies will have their tails docked at three days old. Ears will be cropped on all Show/Working pick pups. Ears on companion pups will be left to buyer's preference for pups purchased before 8 weeks of age. (After 8 weeks of age unsold pups will be cropped by breeder). If a good vet familiar with Corso crops is not available in your area, we can take a limited number of pups from our litters in to be cropped here before they go home. The vet we use is very good and does excellent work. (We make a 16 hr round trip - past many closer vets - as he has been doing show crops on Cane Corsos for over 20 years and does exceptional crops). The cost for a crop requested to be done here before a puppy goes home will be $425.

to the puppy or it is not available for health reasons,
the deposit/monies paid will be transferred/applied to another pup or a later litter. No monies paid toward puppies will be refunded. Color is not guaranteed. The Buyer has read and
fully understands the terms of this contract and agrees
to comply with them. Buyer, by making deposit/payment,
agrees in full to this agreement.

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!
