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.

    It’s because of all this breed confirmation rubbish that I hope it never happens with cats (though I’ve got my doubts)!!!!

    If having one less teat really was a reason for a ***** to fail her confirmation, it would be an absolute shambles!

    I’m not sure if a deformity would lead to being refused Kennel Club registration. But when you consider that even a crooked tooth can be a deal-breaker for getting them registered with the KC...

    I’m interested to see what responses you get.

    I’d bet that isn’t a reason for it to fail confirmation.
