*All of our breeding Cane Corso are Dual Registered AKC/ICCF*
#3 What do you breed for?
The Complete Package.
The Cane Corso is historically a multi-purpose breed. Health, structure, temperament, and overall working ability are EQUALLY important. GIC's assessment and training protocol is designed to produce balanced dogs.
We breed away from extremes of every form. Respectfully, if excessive size or aimless aggression are what you are after, we are not the breeder for you.
#4 Do you have any black males?
We own and have produced dogs of every coloration accepted by the breed standard. What we DO NOT do is prioritize the shade of a dog's coat over the strength of their character.
#5 WHEN CAN I TAKE THEM HOME?
Puppies go to their new homes NO EARLIER than 8 weeks of age.
After placing your deposit, you may wait to pick your puppies at 10 weeks if you so choose.
*There are occasional circumstances wherein puppies will be held back for up to 10 weeks by default.
#6 What do you "do" with your dogs?
We believe the greatest enrichment a dog can know is living up to their purpose. After setting the foundation with basic obedience, we train and exercise our dogs in protection-adjacent work, pole work, agility, and weight pulling.
**DISCLAIMER: Goals in Canines does not identify as a "Personal Protection Trainer," nor do we offer such services. We assess our breeding prospects with field trials that draw out the natural instinct of guardian breeds. Every dog in our program is taught discernment, manners, and is proven through simulated scenarios.**
