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.)
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.
Reserving a Cane Corso Pup from an Upcoming
Litter
Deposits
are accepted on a very limited basis to reserve a
pup from an upcoming litter. Advance Reservations
are limited to three males & three females per litter
(with the exclusion of pups retained by breeder).
The remaining pups will then be made available to approved applicants. Preference for pick pups will be given to potential show homes. Pups may be chosen at
6 weeks of age, in the order reservation picks were
reserved, before the remaining pups are made
available to other buyers. If the litter should not
offer the sex of puppy reserved, buyer may choose to
apply the deposit to another pup from litter, or apply
the deposit toward another currently available pup
or a future litter.
A deposit
in the amount of $500 is required to put an Advance
Reservation on an About Time Cane Corso Puppy from
Laura & Richard of About Time
Cane Corso. The deposit will be applied towards total
purchase price. An advance reservation does not sost you anything extra, it is simply a reservation in advance to guarantee you a pick puppy from the coming litter.
When the
litter is 6 weeks of age, buyers will be provided
with numerous photos of each puppy, and breeder's recomendation based on best potential matches for both the puppy and family. Puppy evaluation
results, and personality/tempermment information will
be available also. Three days will be allowed to chose
reservation pick before remaining pups are made available
to next buyer. Balance will be due at 6 weeks, when
pup is chosen.
We
do reserve the right to refuse deposit/payment if
we feel our puppy would not have a good home. Your
deposit reserves a puppy for you, however, it does
not guarantee that we will sell you one if we feel
the temperament is not a good match for your family.
If we feel a pup would not be well placed with you,
your deposit will be refunded in full.
Payment
Terms
Deposit
and Payments are accepted in the following forms: Cashiers Check, Certified Check, Money Order, or WesternUnion. Cash is accepted,
but only if Buyer is physically picking puppy up.
We DO NOT accept personal checks.
The deposit
is a promise to buy a puppy. If for some reason the
Buyer changes his/her mind on a puppy, they forfeit
their deposit. If something should happen to the puppy,
it is not available for health reasons, or the breeding
should not produce the desired puppy, the deposit
will be applied to another puppy, or a later litter.
The deposit is non refundable. The Buyer has read
and fully understands the terms of this contract and
agrees to comply with them. Buyer, by making the deposit,
agrees in full to this agreement.

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.
