A modern descendant of the ancient Molossus dog, the Cane Corso is a medium-sized mastiff breed. Its ancestry dates back to AD 600 in its native Italy where it was originally used for hunting large game. The breed has also been employed as a cattle drover. The Cane Corso was first officially recognized by the Italian Kennel Club in 1994.
The Cane Corso is a highly trainable dog with a quiet working demeanour. It is a natural guard dog and is regarded as very intelligent.
The Cane Corso goes about its business with a certain air of purpose. It has a somewhat relaxed outlook on life. However, it needs daily outdoor exercise to maintain its well-muscled body and free-flowing gait. |
