Section 3
Reservations & Deposits
Submitting a reservation request through our website does not guarantee availability or constitute a binding agreement. Reservations are confirmed only upon receipt and acknowledgment of a deposit from Cane Blue Kennel.
Deposit Amount: Deposits range from $300–$500 and are applied toward the total purchase price of the puppy.
Priority Order: Puppy placement is conducted in strict order of confirmed deposits. Position in the queue is established at the time the deposit is received and confirmed by us.
Deposit Refund Policy: Deposits are non-refundable except in the following circumstances:
- Cane Blue Kennel is unable to produce a litter within a reasonable timeframe
- No puppy from the available litter meets the buyer’s stated preferences as documented at time of reservation
In all other circumstances, deposits may be transferred to a future litter at our discretion. Deposits will not be refunded due to a change of mind, personal circumstances, or failure to respond to litter notifications within the stated timeframe.
Litter Notification: When a litter is born, depositors will be notified in order of their queue position. If a depositor does not respond within 72 hours of notification, their position may be forfeited and the deposit deemed non-refundable.
Section 4
Pricing & Payment
Puppy prices range from $1,500 to $2,000 depending on gender, coat color, and bloodline. Prices are subject to change and are confirmed at the time of reservation. The deposit is deducted from the total purchase price.
The remaining balance is due at the time of pickup or prior to transport arrangements being finalized. We accept the following payment methods: cash, bank transfer (ACH/wire), Zelle, Venmo (friends & family), and certified check. We do not accept personal checks or credit cards unless otherwise agreed in writing.
All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD). Cane Blue Kennel is not responsible for any currency conversion fees or banking charges incurred by the buyer.
Section 5
Health Guarantee
Every Cane Blue puppy is sold with a 2-year health guarantee covering hereditary and genetic conditions as outlined in the Purchase Agreement provided at the time of sale. The health guarantee is subject to the following conditions:
- The puppy must receive a veterinary examination within 72 hours of pickup or delivery. Failure to do so voids the health guarantee.
- The puppy must be maintained in a healthy environment, receive appropriate veterinary care, proper nutrition, and regular vaccinations as recommended by a licensed veterinarian.
- The guarantee does not cover conditions resulting from accidents, neglect, abuse, improper care, environmental factors, or infections acquired after the puppy leaves our care.
- In the event of a covered hereditary condition confirmed by a licensed veterinarian, Cane Blue Kennel will, at our discretion, offer a replacement puppy from a future litter of comparable value or a partial refund. We do not cover third-party veterinary costs.
- Parvovirus, distemper, and other infectious diseases are not covered under the health guarantee once the puppy leaves our care.
All breeding dogs at Cane Blue Kennel are health-tested for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and cardiac conditions in accordance with AKC and CCAA standards. Documentation is available upon request.
Section 6
Shipping & Transport
We offer nationwide shipping via airline cargo (primarily Delta Cargo) and ground transport to most major U.S. airports and locations. Shipping is available at the buyer’s expense and typically costs between $300–$600, depending on destination and method.
- All shipping arrangements, including health certifications and carrier requirements, are handled by Cane Blue Kennel on the buyer’s behalf.
- The buyer assumes all risk of transport once the puppy is transferred to the carrier or transport service.
- Cane Blue Kennel is not liable for delays, injuries, illness, or death resulting from airline or transport carrier operations.
- Health certificates required for transport are the buyer’s financial responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- We strongly encourage buyers to arrange pick-up in person at our Uniontown, Pennsylvania facility when possible.
Section 7
Puppy Placement & Breeder Rights
Cane Blue Kennel reserves the right to refuse the sale of any puppy to any individual at our sole discretion. We take the lifelong welfare of our dogs seriously and may decline a sale if we believe the buyer’s home environment, experience level, or intentions are not appropriate for a Cane Corso.
Final puppy selection is made by the buyer in order of deposit, following our temperament and health assessments at approximately 6–7 weeks of age. We reserve the right to retain any puppy we deem exceptional for our breeding program, in which case the buyer will be offered first selection from the next available litter or a full deposit refund.
Section 8
Buyer Responsibilities
By purchasing a puppy from Cane Blue Kennel, the buyer agrees to:
- Provide a safe, loving, and appropriate home environment for the life of the dog
- Maintain all required licensing and comply with all local, state, and federal laws regarding dog ownership
- Ensure the puppy receives timely veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, and proper nutrition
- Not use the dog for any illegal activity, dogfighting, or inhumane purposes
- Not resell, transfer, or rehome the dog without first contacting Cane Blue Kennel — we always accept returns of our dogs at any age, no questions asked
- Provide proper socialization, training, and exercise appropriate to the breed
The Cane Corso is a large, powerful breed that requires an experienced, committed owner. By completing a purchase, the buyer acknowledges they understand the breed’s characteristics and requirements.
