Evening all, I’ve had my little Cane Corso home for a week now and while giving her a cuddle I noticed she only has 7 nipples!!
4 on one side and 3 on the other... I’m wondering about her Kennel Club (KC) registration... will she still meet the breed standards? Her parents are both KC registered, so she has her temporary papers for now...
Has anyone else had the same 'problem'?
Was your dog still able to be registered or shown?
Or do the judges not even look?
I know they check the males' testicles, but do they check the females' nipples?
I really hope she doesn't have any internal issues... I’ve got a vet appointment on the 20th for her booster jabs, so I’ll ask then as I’m really worried about my little sweetheart.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Erm, if breed confirmation ever becomes a thing for cats, I honestly can't see myself counting the nipples on every kitten (including the boys!)!!!
I think that’s a detail I’d probably forget.
Actually, let me take back what I said: if some idiot was actually capable of wanting to 'swap' the cat, I’d take him back and give them a refund, but they would NEVER get another kitten from me!
To my mind, someone like that is completely unworthy of owning a cat.
Yeah, I think it’s ridiculous if she doesn’t get her registration confirmed! She’s stunning (light grey and her eyes are starting to turn grey, wow!) and as for swapping her for another puppy, absolutely not – I love her way too much! I’m going to ask my vet because I paid about £700 for her, and if she’s got some kind of internal deformity... I’ll be having a few choice words with the breeder!
So anyway, I’ll see how things are in a few days... just hoping it’s nothing serious for her health, and for if we ever want her to have a litter one day, and for her Kennel Club papers too...
