Cane Corso

The original usage of the Cane Corso is to hunt and guard as it loves to do the job it is given. The pet parents, who have big fenced backyards or front yards, love having this breed as it is athletic and strong. Despite being strong and powerful, the Cane Corso does not suit a family with another dog as it is not sociable. However, it is completely protective and loyal to his family in the best way ever.

This breed needs a job to do as it has big energy. So, you should involve it in many jobs such as tracking, obedience, nose work, dock diving, or agility! But if you do not give it anything to do, it will usually do some annoying things like chewing up your furniture, digging big holes, or even barking at passersby!

 

Highlights

 

The short coat of Corso dogs comes in different colors such as red, dark, and light shades of fawn, dark and light shades of grey, and black. Its ears may be uncropped or cropped! However, it enjoys talking to their parents with verbalizations, snorts, and “woo woo woo” sounds, despite being not demonstrative! Anyway, if you decide to have a dog for the first time, the Corso is not the best choice as it needs plenty of exercise, training, and socialization to become a great companion!
