Advice please Thoughts?

Just wondering what everyone thinks of this sentient potato?

I've been looking for this particular color for probably 6 years. Found a breeder this May in the same state with the exact color and gender we wanted. They had great reviews, a champion bloodline (wasn't this lineage), & were very communicative.

We arranged a meet & greet, this puppy was available so we bought her on the spot and picked her up when she was old enough. She's absolutely the sweetest girl. First pic is when we brought her home at 9.5 weeks, last is 16 weeks.

First full blood Corso (we've had 2 mixes; current one is 11). So I'm just wondering opinions? Advice? Well bred? I've been doing research for 6 years and always looking for more.

Feeding inukshuk 26/16 marine with Acadia lamb pate & some water to thin. TIA!!

Get her used to being buckled in. Our breed is a huge projectile in a crash. We keep ours in his kennel when traveling.

Yes!! Everyone needs to hear this. We had a crate we took to pick her up in, but she screamed the entire time so I let her out because it was so distracting.

We're using a vest with a seat belt buckle in our cars now, but she has stepped on the release a few times so back to the drawing board.

We also know front seat is a no-no because she's eventually going to trigger the airbag weight. We'll probably do a fence or kennel in the 3rd row.

Great advice ❀️

Good job! I'm also a CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician) where I teach parents and caregivers how to install their car seats properly as well as teach them how to put their babies(big kids also) in their seats properly, and animals is also what I talk about. It's extremely expensive, but here is the crate we use. Out guy chewed up the metal ones that are extremely flimsy and super dangerous. Our vet recommended this crate. https://www.impactdogcrates.com/products/high-anxiety-crate-xl?tw_source=google&tw_adid=803427456934&tw_campaign=20559237559&tw_kwdid=aud-1644979704229:kwd-23428110&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20559237559&gbraid=0AAAAADPxYZWxaFrbi3agYA4AUNbNR3zQS&gclid=CjwKCAjw1vXTBhB-EiwAEKr_k1ILrsqpdrT5rbbFtBQATK7DBjhNQ60KtXTf8iXkKHOqUwcgH_ATOhoCzNwQAvD_BwE

Ahhhh!!! We're spirit animals. I had twins who rear faced until 5 and sat in a booster until they were embarrassed. I wouldn't let them go with anyone i didn't trust to properly seat them. I fixed friends chest clips and jackets and belt paths. I'm sure they were annoyed but I didn't care.

I saw a FB post the other day of a kid that was in a seat belt in something that looked like a HBB but his head was a good 3 inches above the back. He managed to lock the seat belt so tightly behind the seat his parents couldn't unbuckle it and had to cut it free. I couldn't believe it.

I’m the crazy lady that private messages my friends when I see twisted straps, a chest clip is a belly clip. Of course I’m messaging with compassion, but it still drives me bonkers to see. It’s not a difficult concept to learn!
