Cane Corso

Continuing the trend with big dog breeds, this post is dedicated to The Italian Mastiff, Cane Corso. Like the Great Pyrenees, the Cane Corso breed was originally bred for guarding and also hunting. This breed originated in Italy and their temperament is anything you would want in a dog. They are calm, loving, quiet, and easily trainable. Full grown Males can be over 110 pounds. Typically their coat is grey but you also may see a Cane Corso that is black, red, fawn, and brindle. Depending on the owners choice you can have a Cane Corso with clipped or unclipped ears. I prefer them to be unclipped but it is a personal preference. Below is attached pictures of clipped and unclipped ears.

 

The Cane Corso may seem like an intimidating tough dog but by experience they are one of the most laid back loving dogs I have ever interacted with. I would recommend this breed to anyone who likes dogs.
