Description: Despite its intimidating appearance, the Cane Corso is
one of the perfect family dogs. Bred for its impeccable strength, the
extremely loyal Corso is an excellent guard dog that is especially
drawn to children. Even with the Corso’s massiveness, it is extremely
gentle around children, as if it knows how vulnerable they are. This
breed must be socialized at a young age around other dogs, animals
and people to prevent any dominance issues or aggressiveness (you
don’t want to have to try to hold back a Corso chasing a cat!). They are
naturally dominant dogs and will never back down from a challenge.
Teaching him basic commands at a young age will also help with being
an obediant part of the family. Corsos are very reserved around new
people or strangers, standing their ground until they are comfortable.
It may take a while before a Corso warms up to someone new. They
love to be included in family outings, and because of their athleticism,
long walks, jogs and hikes are just fine with them. The more
adventurous your activities are, the better. The Cane Corso, known as
a great guard dog, is also an extremely smart breed so don’t be
surprised if you see them winning CKC titles in obedience and agility,
as well as, weight pulling or personal protection!
