The Cane Corso breed is a Mastiff breed originally from Italy. Its name is derived from the Italian word for dog, cane, and the Latin term cohors, meaning “protector” or “guardian.” These dogs descended from Roman war dogs.

The Cane Corso stands about 28” at the shoulder and can weigh more than 150 pounds. Training is vital and should be done by YOU! You should be present so your Cane Corso can learn commands and how to work and obey YOU.

The Cane Corso makes a great watch dog. They are mild mannered unless tempted and are good with children and the elderly.  Some cons to take into consideration are that they are heavy, huge dogs and are rowdy and exuberant when young.
