About Cane Corso

The Cane Corso ( KAH-neh-KOR-soh; plural: Cani Corsi ) is a large-boned and muscular working dog that at a glance is an intimidating creature. This Italian breed of Mastiff has an imposing, yet majestic appearance. Standing on average 24-28 inches at the withers, weight proportionate to their height, some monsters even weighing up to 160 pounds, with a large head, alert expression and muscles rippling beneath the short coat throughout their long bodies these mastiff dogs will make anyone think twice about testing them.

Corsi are intelligent, fearless, protective with a noble bearing and confident demeanor. The Cane Corso love their owners and human family.

amp;

They are affectionate, attentive, eager to please and loyal to the bone, but are also assertive, possessive and willful and will try to challenge their owners for dominance if their owners don’t establish themselves as pack leader.

amp;

 

This robust breed makes for great family dogs, perfect companions, they’re excellent with kids, trainable and can be used not only for work, but for personal protection, tracking, law

enforcement and other services.

amp;

These athletic and active dogs will definitely need a task to do, otherwise they’ll find their own ways to reduce boredom, most likely with destructive behavior.

amp;

Corsi have a high prey drive and territorial nature so anyone wanting to own a Corso should have a large secured fenced yard to keep their dog on the property and give him space for exercise, or be prepared to walk or jog him at least a mile a day, in addition to 20-30 minutes of training and play time. This dog will not be content with lying around doing nothing.

amp;

Early, frequent socialization is essential to learn what is normal and what is a threat. That said, no amount of socialization will make a Corso friendly toward people other than their family.

 

The Cane Corso is first and foremost a guard dog and he takes his responsibilities seriously. These dogs are not for everyone. For those experienced dog owners that want a large dog that can be everything you can possibly need in a dog then the Cane Corso is one to consider.
