🐾 Et Tu Brute Litter – 4 Week Update 🐾

Nap time outside

Vae Victis Cane Corso is thrilled to share the latest update on our Et Tu Brute litter, now officially four weeks old. This stage in their development is one of the most exciting, as the puppies are beginning to transition from newborns into active, curious, and expressive little canines. Their progress over the past month has been remarkable, and we are proud to provide our extended Vae Victis family and future puppy owners with a closer look at how these exceptional Cane Corso pups are growing.

Growth and Development at 4 Weeks

The four-week milestone is a significant turning point in any puppy’s life. At this age, the Et Tu Brute puppies have grown more coordinated, mobile, and interactive. Their once-wobbly steps have transformed into confident movements as they explore their whelping area with curiosity and energy. Playtime has become more frequent and more animated — with little growls, barks, and playful pounces filling the room.

One of the most exciting changes we are witnessing is the emergence of their unique personalities. Some puppies are already showing themselves to be bold and adventurous, eager to investigate new sights and sounds, while others display gentler, more affectionate temperaments, preferring close snuggles and quiet observation. These personality traits will continue to develop over the coming weeks, giving future families a clearer picture of which puppy may be the best fit for their home and lifestyle.

Health and Care

We take the health and well-being of our litters very seriously. The Et Tu Brute puppies have already been dewormed twice, ensuring that they remain healthy and free from common early parasites. Each puppy continues to thrive under careful monitoring and attentive care.

Looking ahead, the puppies are scheduled to receive their first round of vaccinations at 6

weeks old. This important step will give them the protection they need as their immune systems mature and they prepare to meet new environments and families. Shortly after their vaccinations, the puppies will also be going in for their ear crops, a traditional practice for Cane Corso that enhances their classic, noble appearance. As with all aspects of their care, this procedure will be performed professionally and with the utmost attention to the comfort and safety of each puppy.

Nutrition and Feeding

Another exciting development at this stage is the transition from solely nursing to beginning solid foods. The puppies have started enjoying their first tastes of puppy mush — a mixture designed to provide balanced nutrition while still being gentle on their young digestive systems. Mealtime has quickly become one of the most entertaining parts of the day. The sight of puppies eagerly gathering around the bowl, nibbling, and even climbing into their food is both endearing and a clear sign of their healthy appetites.

Their introduction to solid food also helps prepare them for the complete weaning process, which will take place gradually over the next few weeks. By the time they are ready to leave for their new homes, they will be fully transitioned to a high-quality diet suitable for Cane Corso puppies, supporting their rapid growth and muscular development.

Socialization and Early Training

Socialization is one of the most important aspects of raising well-rounded Cane Corso puppies. From the very beginning, we at Vae Victis Cane Corso prioritize providing each litter with exposure to a variety of sights, sounds, and gentle handling. At four weeks old, the Et Tu Brute puppies are already being introduced to basic forms of social interaction — both with their littermates, new sights and new sounds.

Playing with one another teaches the puppies valuable lessons about boundaries, bite inhibition, and communication. Meanwhile, their interactions with us and our children help them grow accustomed to human touch, making them more adaptable and confident as they mature. This early foundation sets the stage for successful training and a smooth transition into their future homes.

Availability

We are pleased to share that we currently have two females available from the Et Tu Brute litter. Each puppy has already had their tails docked and continues to follow a regular schedule of veterinary care, deworming, and growth monitoring.

Prospective families who are considering adding a Vae Victis Cane Corso to their home can look forward to receiving a healthy, well-socialized, and carefully raised companion. We are dedicated to ensuring that every puppy is matched with a family that understands the breed and is ready to provide the structure, training, and love that a Cane Corso deserves.

Our Puppy Application Process

For families interested in reserving a Vae Victis Cane Corso puppy, we require all prospective owners to complete our puppy application. This application is an essential part of our process, as it helps us learn more about each family’s lifestyle, experience with large guardian breeds, and expectations for their future Cane Corso. Since this breed requires proper training, structure, and commitment, the information provided in the application allows us to ensure that every puppy is placed in a home where they will thrive.

We ask that the application be filled out completely and with as much detail as possible. This helps us match each puppy’s developing personality with the right family. A household looking for a confident protector may be better suited for one puppy, while a family wanting a gentle companion may be an ideal match for another. By taking the time to be thorough in your answers, you not only help us understand your needs but also give us the tools to provide you with the best possible fit. Our priority is to set both puppies and families up for long-term success, and the application is the first step in that journey.

Looking Ahead

The weeks ahead will bring even more growth and transformation for the Et Tu Brute litter. By six weeks, the puppies will have received their first vaccinations and ear crops, marking another important step in their journey. Their personalities will become even more distinct, allowing us to provide future owners with detailed insights into each pup’s temperament and traits.

As always, we will continue to share updates, photos, and stories as these puppies progress. It is a privilege to raise such a special litter, and we are grateful to be able to share this journey with our extended Cane Corso family.

Final Thoughts

The four-week mark is a beautiful reminder of just how quickly puppies grow and develop. From their earliest days of eyes just opening to now bounding around with energy and curiosity, the Et Tu Brute litter has already made tremendous strides. With excellent health, proper nutrition, and a strong foundation of socialization, these puppies are on the path to becoming the loyal, protective, and loving Cane Corso companions that the breed is so well known for.

We look forward to providing future updates as they continue to grow, and we cannot wait to introduce these remarkable puppies to their forever families in the weeks to come.  For now, check out the attached, updated photos of each puppy!
