Cane Corso Breeders

Cane Corso

The Cane Corso is a mastiff breed. Its origins go back to the area of southern Italy and it is one of only a few of the native Italian mastiff breeds. It was used to hunt and protect and at one time the numbers were so few it was considered rare. Thanks to dedicated breeders the Cane Corso was brought back to healthy numbers. The name comes from the Latin word “cohors” which means “guardian”. This breed has a protective nature and it easily bonds to everyone in the family. It should be socialized regularly and trained using positive methods. It is a powerful, athletic dog that needs plenty of regular exercise. It has a short, course, waterproof coat that is easy to care for and sheds little. Colors of the Cane Corso are black, gray, fawn or red, and brindle. It stands at 23 to 27 inches at the withers. It was officially recognized and registered with the American Kennel Club in 2010. This dog has a loyal following by those that have owned them in the past, which is a testament to the breed’s temperament and loyal personality.
