Im also getting my CC's ears cropped in 3 days, and im really nervous. Its strictly banned here in Greece, so i could only find 2 vets that would do it and had to pick one of them...
Hope everything goes well

Good luck, it was harder on me than Hank. He was his normal self in three days. Just take in pics of what you want and be ready to feel like a heal the first day. I'm glad we did it.

Our vet based the surgery on Basir. Basir is THE prototype Cane Corso and our Hank's 7 Great Grandfather (also related to most other real Cane Corso in the world today).

Our surgeon was amazing. I hope you have our luck and your babies ears look fabulous in no time.

It will be mid February before we can make it out to see Mo. Looking forward to it!

Hank can sit, stay, lay, wait and will pretty much (though definitely not always) stay by my side on walks without a lead. Working on the "stand" (stack) training now.

Sounds like he's doing great. Nico is not far behind, its crazy how smart he is. Let us know how things with Mo goes. A buddy of mine actually went to school with a guy that used to train with Mo and knows Presa pretty well so I'm going to meet up with him and see if there is anything I'm missing.

I'm not sure what they are using for Hank, but for Nico I will use his kibble for training most commands, and for special things like COME I dice up sweet potatoes and bake them at about 200deg for prob about 4 hours until they are mostly dried out. He LOVES them, its really made teaching COME pretty easy.
