Does anyone have one? Looking at getting one and was looking for some first hand info. Figured this board would have the least amount of trolls. Tia

Great dog. They are used as police dogs in Italy. I have a pretty badass picture of one on my phone I can post later. They are similar to any working dog in training and temperament. With proper training and association with other dogs they can be a great pet. They are huge and you will need to enforce your dominance early and often. They are related to the mastiff and share a lot of traits with the bull mastiff. Hope that helps a little

They are very expensive, like over a grand for a puppy

I have one, and he is the best dog I've ever owned. Brief story, I am a cop and was working in narcotics. I was followed home by three guys I put in jail. So, I wanted a big, protective dog. I did a ton of research and got one. He is a big old lovable lap dog. Until he feels that one of us is threatened. Then he is a BEAST!!! He is 11 months old and weighs 115 pounds. Should round out about 150. He is a big Corso. Let me know if you would like to talk on the phone, or email. I would be happy to help with breeders or any other info you need.

As a baby:

My uncle has one and as everyone else has stated, he is a great family dog and is great around kids, but if he feels you or someone in the family are threatened he will not back down. Great watch dogs. They really are big beautiful dogs. Especially, the brindle ones.

I second what LSUFootballFANATIC said about them being athletic, those motherfrickers can jump. Atleast, my uncles could.

Corso's aren't for most families. They're becoming really popular because they're BAMF'rs.

You need to really evaluate your lifestyle, your future, and your ability to care for the dog throughout it's life. These dogs aren't easy to give away when you get in a bind. You can't just drop off an adult Corso with friends for a week while you go to Cancun. You can forget about buddies just dropping by and coming on in anymore either.

They're tremendous dogs, and do exactly what they were bred and meant for. Protection and security.
