Temperament: Highly Intelligent, reserved w/ strangers. Loyal as they come with their family and friends. Very protective over the Children of their family. A true Corso should be aloof [not aggressive] when approached and should only react when a real threat is present. However, the majority of the Cane Corsos found here in America do not possess the proper stable temperament this breed should possess. This is an extremely dominant breed that requires socialization and obedience training from 8 weeks of age and a firm experienced owner. As with any breed there are varying levels of temperament from very passive to very dominant. An experienced ethical breeder will only place their puppies to an equal matching family and lifestyle.
Health: Prone to cherry eye, bloat, hip & elbow dysplasia and heart conditions.
Living Conditions: They would do best in a home with a yard to run and stretch their legs in however apartment owners have known to thrive with daily walks and trips to parks.
Exercise: Some require more then others depending on the temperament and breeding, however most do just fine when they are an active part of the family.
Life Expectancy: 7 - 12 years. Quality breeding & proper nutrition and care has much to do with this.
Origin: Origins from Italy. The Cane Corso's ancestry stems from the Neapolitan Mastiff & the Roman War dog the Canis Pugnax. Smaller and much tighter in size then its cousin the Neo, the Corso is swift and agile with cat like movements. They were used as hunting, shepherd dogs, watchdogs and one of the most attractive quality they have present day in the USA as family guardians. During the First and Second World War the Cane Corso population decreased to almost iut in the 1970s and 80s,a small group of Italian enthusiasts re-establish the breed and created a breed standard. The breed was recognized by the ENCI in the 1994 and by the FCI in the 1996. Today the Cane Corso is used mostly as family guardians and growing in the USA as a respectable working dog..
