About the Cane Corso
This robust, muscular
working dog is native to Italy, where it was originally used to hunt game and catch
cattle. Possibly the only "Coursing Mastiff left in the world, the Cane Corso does
not drool - unlike some other Mastiff breeds, and is easy to house-break. Intelligent and
easy to train, the Cane Corso gets along well with other pets and makes and excellent working
(hunting, guard and cattle) dog and family pet.
Cane Corsos are very gentle and
submissive - especially with children. They stand from 25 to 28 inches at the shoulder and
weigh from 92 to 110 pounds (females may be slightly smaller). This breed has a dense,
rough coat that requires minimal grooming. They need daily exercise, but are also
laid-back and enjoy snuggling up on the couch too! |
