Cane Corso breed

Great looking dogs but I am not familar with the breed.

My dad owns one, his son in law breeds them also.

My good friend has had 3, and studded one of his out. What do you want to know?

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:


Now:

With me, and my family, he thinks he is a lap dog. He is a big old teddy bear. But, he is VERY protective of us. Especially my kids. My wife walks every day and takes him with her. He is very intimidating looking. But, the most impressive thing about him is his agility. My grand champion lab was never as athletic as he is.

My friends is the same. great breed, they become friends right away as long as master is happy. the one he studs, was 90lbs at 6months, he was the "platinum" color. his whole head used to take up the sliding rear window of my truck. They are scary as shite to people who are unfamilar with them

My cousin has two English Mastiffs, gigantic dogs, they are the biggest babies I've ever seen. They're twice the size of my catahoula and he intimidates the hell out of them.

If a Cane Corso was a human, it would look like Ron Perlman on Sons of Anarchy.

What do you do with all the dog shite, I would bet its like walking around a mine field in the backyard. My mind goes to the practical. Of course you would need to keep the shite around to see whose bones were in it, to solve the missing people crimes.

You are right about the shite. They eat A LOT and shite A LOT. I feed mine Blue Buffalo, a high quality food, with almost no fillers. He really doesn't shite anymore than my lab did. Luckily, where I live I back up to a wetlands area, so I just let him run out there and handle it. If he is locked up in my yard (almost 2 acres) I just throw it out there too (with a shovel). That is one consideration, they need to get out and run. And be prepared for a big food bill. My eats 6 cups a day.

They are big dogs and can be hard to handle. If you don't have a dominant, commanding presence, don't get one. He will end up running over you and doing anything he wants. That is a very dangerous position to be in with a 120-150 pound dog. Don't be fooled either, the females are just as protective and dominant as the males.
