I sent this to another member here as a private message but truly am not sure how often they are online (they had given me advice in past about the cc's) and hadn't heard back so thought I'd go ahead and post this here (hopefully this is the right forum for this type of line of questions) and see if anyone would like to offer advice/help? Thanks in advance for reading/helping!
Here is the message just repasted here:
Hey there again... thought maybe you could help me out a bit... I've decided to take the plunge... Getting a pup that was born on Jan 2nd this year. Male. Cane Corso. ICCF registered. Person owns the mother but had a stud for father. I'm getting it with ears cropped. When I talked with guy yesterday he said if I sent payment (1/2) via paypal he could make vet apt. today for ears and I could get dog Sunday. He texts me today now saying (and I've already paid half so I'm kinda stuck lol) dog cannot get ears done until next Tuesday so probably Thursday would be the earliest I could pick pup up. The dog is going to be almost 14 weeks by this time. I wanted a puppy (and paid a premium) because I wanted to be able to properly socialize dog at young age. Ideally I wanted 12 weeks but now it's going to be almost 14 weeks. How much am I losing in those 2 weeks? 2 weeks in a dog that's 6years old is nothing but I was thinking 2 weeks at this age is TREMENDOUS but maybe I'm wrong? Also I was wondering if you had any good links or what not in regards (threads maybe here?) that are designed specifially for cane corso and tips for me in regards to breed specifics, training, etc etc etc any and all info is extremely helpful, diet, play, crate, etc etc etc I'm a total beginner with this dog. Thanks for reading hope to hear back from you
