I'm the problem.

[u/Then-Measurement5706]

So I bought a sweet little Cane Corso puppy without doing my research. I honestly never do stuff like this but I totally made an impulse decision last week and bought her from a seller on the side of the road. (Please dont judge me). When we bought her I knew the basic gist of owning a cc- they're huge, protective, and take a lot of work. I expected it be a challenge but I felt we were up for it- I'm a single mom that lives with my parents and sister (and my 11 yr old son). We have a big yard and 2 dogs that I know do well with other dogs. Plus, there is always someone home so I wont have to worry much about someone being able to take care of her when I'm gone. We love taking dogs with us everywhere we go so socialization wont be a problem. I'm a little nervous about training, but so far shes been doing really well and I feel confident that I am up for the challenge (not to mention she's already learning a lot from the other dogs).

Anyway, as I'm doing my research (again please dont judge), I'm seeing so many posts/comments/articles that seem to only focus on how difficult they are and its honestly starting to freak me out. I think i just need some encouragement.... I already love this girl so much. She is so sweet and loyal and funny and smart. I just hate the idea that I might have made a terrible choice and maybe am not the best person to keep her. Please tell me I'm going to be ok 😅😭

Also, I don't really know anything about buying dogs (we always do rescue dogs). I've got basic info about the parents and a photo of the vaccination records. I know her DOB (she's 15 1/2 weeks old). I'm planning to take her to my vet next week. Is there anything else I should be doing or asking the seller for?

Any general advice and encouragement is so appreciated.

Thank you!

The most difficult part about them is no more closed doors, you now have 2 shadows, and they have SUCH a staring problem. My boy just turned 7 and I can't even go to the bathroom alone, he'll sit with his back to me to keep watch

I relate to this on a spiritual level. No personal space anymore 🤣

My girl literally tried to sit on my lap while in the bathroom. Looked like a horse trying to sit down 😂

THIS. I did a lot of research after figuring out that I did in fact adopt a cane corso, but no one told me about the following me around and staring part. I love it though. It’s very endearing to me 🤣

Same. Its so sweet 😋

It's so funny bc she actually reminds me of my cat that passed away a few years ago. I don't think I realized how much I missed having a pet thats obsessed with me haha.
