One thing I’ve learned in my short time breeding Cane Corsos is that this breed has a way of humbling you.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been breeding for one year or 20 years. There is always something new to learn. Genetics, health, temperament, structure, pedigrees, whelping, puppy development, and everything in between. The learning never ends.
The moment we believe we have it all figured out is usually the moment we stop growing.
I’m only in year two of my breeding program, and I still consider myself a student of the breed. I ask questions. I seek advice. I study pedigrees. I learn from my successes, and I learn even more from the things that don’t go as planned.
To me, breeding should never be about proving who’s right or who knows best. It should be about preserving and improving the breed through health, sound temperament, correct structure, and respect for the breed standard.
The breeders I respect most aren’t the ones who claim to know everything. They’re the ones who continue learning, continue growing, and aren’t afraid to admit they don’t have all the answers.
Here’s to staying humble, and keeping an open mind.
