Black Cane Corso Price Information

As one of the most attractive variations in terms of the Cane Corso breed’s color, the black Cane Corso displays the differences in its value also in comparison with the more usual Anatolian Shepherd. Moreover, the variations in the prices of black Cane Corsos are more influenced by such factors as their coat color and pedigree.

Pedigree, Coat Color, and Health Status

The pedigree of a black Cane Corso is the most essential thing that decides the dog’s price. If both parents of a baby are certified show-quality dogs with pedigrees or come from quite a few globally-known lines of breeding, the price is usually double, i.e., between 8,000 and 15,000 yuan on average. Common black Cane Corsos without any documentary evidence of their pedigree are often quoted at prices ranging from 4,000 and 7,000 yuan. The price difference between these two is close to the one observed in the case of Anatolian Shepherds—where show-quality stock also fetches a higher price. The difference is that the fur of the black Cane Corso doesn’t affect the price of the breed while the black ones look more aesthetic due to their dark fur and thus, are given a little higher price than the other-colored puppies of the same lineage.

Those black Cane Corso babies who have gone through a full vaccination program, received treatments for internal and external parasites, and have had veterinary health checks resulting in the absence of hereditary conditions (such as hip dysplasia) are sold for 1,000-2,000 RMB more than those without health guarantees. This is in line with the logic of the market for Anatolian Shepherd that pertains to the health of the puppies and where puppies with the complete health assurance are more preferred.

Price Differentiation Between Professional Breeders and Ordinary Channels

The rates for black Cane Corso puppies of professional breeding institutions are quite direct and they are relatively high. These organizations provide the pedigree certificates and health records for the puppies, and some also offer the initial care guidance. The prices mostly fall within the range of 6,000 to 15,000 yuan. Breeding facilities spend a lot more on the care of the mothers and the development of the puppies, which leads to higher costs that justify these prices being higher than that of the general channels. This is quite similar to the case of Anatolian Shepherd where the pricing strategy for the professional facilities goes as follows – both have higher prices than non-professional channels due to strict breeding standards.

The dogs of the black Caneese that are from the general pet market or from private breeders are offered at a lower price usually ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan. There probably are some individuals without full vaccination who also may carry hidden genetic diseases, and there could be no pedigree documentation, which can lead to additional veterinarian charges during the time of their ownership. When compared to Anatolian Shepherds, black Cane Corso prices in mainstream channels are more volatile. Because of the “premium effect” related to the black coat color, the prices of non-professional breeders may be raised to put an appearance of higher-value but buyers must still be very careful in it.
