We don’t just "vet check" our dogs; we participate in rigorous, lifelong health screenings verified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). This ensures your puppy comes from a lineage of proven health and physical integrity.
Hips & Elbows (Orthopedic): Every breeding dog is X-rayed to ensure strong joint structure, significantly reducing the risk of painful dysplasia as they age.
Advanced Cardiac (Heart): Our dogs are cleared by board-certified cardiologists to ensure a strong, healthy heart free from hereditary murmurs or defects.
DNA & DSRA (Genetics): We use modern DNA swabbing to guarantee our puppies are born free of DSRA (Dental-Skeletal-Retinal-Anomaly) and other breed-specific genetic issues.
The CHIC Standard: We prioritize dogs with a CHIC Number, which is the national "Gold Standard" awarded only to Cane Corsos that have completed every required health test for the breed
Trust, but Verify: You can view the official, public health results for our dogs, like GCH CH Maximo's Going Nuclear, directly on the OFA Database.
Our Lifetime Commitment
Bringing a Cane Corso into your home is a 10-to-12-year journey, and we are with you every step of the way. We take pride in being a lifelong resource for our extended "Maximo family."
Lifetime Return Policy: We stand behind every dog we produce. If at any point in your dog's life you are no longer able to provide a home for them, they are required to come back to us. No Maximo Corso will ever end up in a shelter.
Health Guarantee: Every puppy comes with a written contract and a foundational health guarantee against hereditary defects. We breed for longevity, and we back that up with our word and our paperwork.
Breeder Mentorship: Whether you have questions about the "teenage" stubborn phase, nutrition, or advanced training, our door is always open. We offer 24/7 support to help you navigate the unique needs of the Italian Guardian.
Socialization Foundation: Our commitment starts before you even pick up your puppy. We utilize early socialization protocols to ensure your Corso has the stable, discerning temperament the breed is famous for.
Note to Owners: "A responsible breeder is your best friend for the life of your dog. We don't just produce puppies; we produce lifelong companions.
