NxElite Canecorso Puppies – Our Health Guarantee Policy
At NxElite Canecorso Puppies, we are passionately committed to raising strong, healthy, and temperamentally sound Italian and American Canecorso puppies. From the moment they’re born, each puppy is nurtured with expert care, early neurological stimulation, and structured socialization to ensure they develop into confident, loyal, and physically balanced companions. We believe that trust begins at the very first interaction—and we honor that trust with a comprehensive, transparent health guarantee designed to protect both you and your new Canecorso.
Our Commitment to You
Bringing home a Canecorso is a lifelong journey, and we stand by every puppy we place with the same dedication we show in breeding them. As a responsible, health-focused breeder, we invest heavily in genetic screening, premium nutrition, and proactive veterinary care to minimize health risks before they arise. While we cannot control every factor in a dog’s life, we do everything within our power to give your puppy the strongest possible start.
That’s why we offer a detailed, two-year health guarantee—a promise that reflects our confidence in our bloodlines and our commitment to your peace of mind.
Our Comprehensive Health Guarantee
We breed for excellence, and we back our puppies with a robust health guarantee that protects your investment and ensures your Canecorso thrives in their new home.
1. Two-Year Genetic Health Guarantee
If your Canecorso puppy is diagnosed with a life-affecting hereditary condition within 24 months of adoption, NxElite will provide a replacement puppy of equal value at no cost, or offer a refund at our discretion.
Covered Conditions Include:
- Hip or elbow dysplasia (confirmed via OFA/PennHIP evaluation)
- Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) – DNA-confirmed
- Aortic stenosis/sub-aortic stenosis (SAS) – confirmed by veterinary cardiologist echocardiogram
- Entropion or ectropion requiring surgical correction
- Severe structural defects (e.g., wry mouth, kinked tail affecting function)
- Other congenital conditions verified by a licensed veterinarian and diagnostic testing
Requirements:
- Diagnosis must be confirmed by a board-certified specialist or licensed veterinarian using appropriate diagnostics (X-rays, echocardiogram, DNA testing, etc.).
- The puppy must have received proper care, including routine vet visits, vaccinations, and a large-breed growth-appropriate diet.
- All records must be submitted to NxElite for review within 30 days of diagnosis.
2. 14-Day Communicable Disease Guarantee
If your puppy is diagnosed with a contagious illness such as parvovirus, distemper, or severe parasitic infection (e.g., coccidia, giardia) within 14 days of arrival, and the condition was not caused by post-delivery exposure, NxElite will:
- Issue a full refund of the purchase price, including shipping fees, upon safe return of the puppy, or
- Replace the puppy with a healthy one of equal value when available.
Conditions:
- Diagnosis must be made by a licensed veterinarian with documented lab results.
- The puppy must not have been exposed to other unvaccinated dogs or high-risk environments after delivery.
- Refund or replacement is void if the illness results from owner negligence or improper quarantine.
3. Mandatory 7-Day Veterinary Examination
To activate the full health guarantee, all new owners must schedule a complete veterinary check-up within 7 days of receiving the puppy.
The exam must include:
- Full physical assessment
- Review of vaccination and deworming records
- Fecal test for parasites
- Confirmation of overall health and weight appropriate for age
Failure to complete and document this exam within 7 days will automatically void the entire health guarantee.
We strongly recommend using a veterinarian experienced with large or giant breeds for the most accurate assessment.

- Socialization and obedience training tips
- Growth tracking milestones
We encourage all owners to work with vets familiar with giant breeds and are happy to provide referrals upon request.
