Our litter of Cane Corso puppies are 7.5 weeks old and almost ready to go to their new forever homes. Now they are vaccinated enough to be safe to leave our house and go in public places.

This is an important test for them and us - the very first time in a “big unknown world”. Puppies and dogs temperament best to be tested in places they never been before and with stress presented ( because we want to see how puppy deals with stress and how they recover or not from it). We use short car drive ( 10 min) as a first stress factor - puppy is alone in the crate, without its siblings and not cuddled by a human - uncomfortable situation but a short one with positive outcome, to teach the puppy to handle that stress well and start preparing them for future stressors they will meet in their life’s. After the car ride, we take puppy out in the new place- we going into a Tractor Supply store here- watching every reaction they may have as they never been out yet, never been in public and met strangers in buildings plus so many smells and noises. And on top of it none of them ever been on leash before:)

This litter did really good! We are excited for their future!
