Cane Corso

The Cane Corso is a majestic and imposing breed originating from Italy, known for its muscular build and confident demeanor. Bred as a versatile working dog, they excel in guarding, protection, and herding. Their name, derived from the Latin "Cohors," meaning guardian or protector, reflects their historical role.

Cane Corsos are intelligent and trainable, but require a firm and experienced owner who can provide consistent leadership and early socialization. With proper training, they become loyal and devoted family members, fiercely protective of their loved ones.

The Cane Corso is a direct descendant of the ancient Roman Molossus, a large and powerful war dog. Throughout history, they were used in various roles, including guarding livestock, hunting big game, and even assisting in war.

As agriculture changed, the Cane Corso's role evolved into guarding farms and property. They nearly faced extinction in the 20th century, but dedicated breeders worked to revive the breed, preserving its unique characteristics and working abilities.

Today, the Cane Corso is recognized by major kennel clubs worldwide and is gaining popularity as a loyal companion and capable working dog.
