IV. Type, Health & Temperament Guarantee
Should within 36 months of age, the Cane Corso Italiano not pass or develop any disqualifying faults as described in the FCI Cane Corso Italiano standard, or be diagnosed with any genetically derived medical disorder (ex. Bi-lateral HD) which is attested to by two unassociated veterinarians thereby causing Buyer and Seller to agree that the Cane Corso Italiano cannot ethically be bred, upon provision of veterinary reports, critiques or video and, where applicable, OFA or PennHIP reports, Seller will provide Buyer with the options below.
Buyer has the choice to keep the Cane Corso Italiano with proof of spay/neuter or return the Cane Corso Italiano to Seller, upon this decision, Seller will offer a replacement Cane Corso Italiano or 50% of the original purchase price in the following manner:
A corresponding quality puppy from Seller’s next litter will be assigned to Buyer, Buyer has the right to choose:
a) Replacement: Should Buyer choose to accept the replacement Show Quality puppy, Seller will provide Buyer with the replacement Show Quality Cane Corso Italiano in Seller’s next litter upon proof of Spay/Neuter or relinquishment of the original Cane Corso Italiano.
b) 50% of Purchase Price: Seller will sell the assigned Show quality puppy and will refund 50% of original purchase price less any shipping or miscellaneous charges associated with transportation of Cane Corso Italiano to Buyer upon proof of Spay/Neuter or relinquishment of the original Cane Corso Italiano.
In the case of CHD:
Seller will entertain no warranties prior to the age of 18 months unless the veterinarian believes the condition is severe. This is because hip structure can change and may not be set until fully mature.
A rating of Borderline or Mild on the initial submission to OFA will not qualify the dog as being affected with HD. The dog must be reevaluated and resubmitted in six months. If at that time, it does not receive a passing rating then the dog will be replaced as per the terms above.
This guarantee shall be absolutely null and void no matter whether show, breed or pet quality, if the dog has been given calcium or vitamin supplementation of any kind, any "forced" exercise (no jumping from, on or over anything taller than the dog’s shoulder, no extended walks, no excessive running, etc) until a minimum of 15 months of age, that has not been first agreed upon, stated in writing, signed and notarized by the breeder; even if recommended by a veterinarian and no other excuse shall be valid.

Upon receipt of such proof, evaluation of this Cane Corso Italiano will be scheduled with an agreed upon trainer or breeder with knowledge of this breed and temperament. Should the Cane Corso Italiano be deemed overly aggressive by the chosen breeder/trainer, Seller will arrange for euthanasia of this Cane Corso Italiano and provide Buyer with a replacement corresponding quality puppy as soon as such a puppy is available to Seller, or a refund of 50% of purchase price.
