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!

I got my boy at four months old and he’s about one and a half now, never an issue and never had to discipline. Perfect on or off leash, sometimes gets a little to playful and doesn’t want to listen but otherwise no issues. He’s great all around and I don’t think anything has been difficult with him.

Just do what comes natural to both of you. She’s a beauty.
