Setting the Record Straight: Addressing the False Claims by Marino Cane Corso
Marino Cane Corso has spread misinformation regarding Tony Scandy and Scandifio's Cane Corsos, alleging that Tony's dogs are not purebred Cane Corsos. These claims are entirely baseless and require clarification.
Factual Evidence vs. Misinformation
Marino Cane Corso claims that Scandifio’s dogs are mixed breeds, citing supposed DNA evidence. However, when directly asked to provide this proof, Marino Cane Corso would not provide it, and instead stated that cane corso fogs are not a breed, but a "type of dog". This raises serious questions about the credibility of their accusations.
Confirmed Lineage through DNA Testing
In contrast to the unfounded claims, DNA tests conducted via Embark and verified pedigree charts have consistently shown that Scandifio’s dogs, including the well-known Nino II, are legitimate and vital contributors to the Cane Corso breed. These bloodlines are present in numerous champion dogs, including Westminster winners, solidifying their importance in maintaining the breed standard.
Tony Scandy’s Dedication to Breed Integrity
Tony Scandy's commitment to the Cane Corso breed is evident not only in his success as a breeder but also in his legal efforts to prevent changes that would dilute the breed's standard. Tony has actively opposed changes such as the inclusion of Rottweiler-like markings and bulldog-type underbites, abd shorter back legs, which are not characteristic of the true Cane Corso.
Addressing the Root of the Issue Marino Cane Corso’s actions seem to stem from personal or competitive motivations rather than a genuine concern for the breed. By spreading misinformation, they are attempting to undermine one of the most successful and respected breeders in Cane Corso history. This approach does nothing but harm the community and the breed's future.
Conclusion: Upholding the Truth It is crucial for the Cane Corso community to rely on facts and evidence rather than unfounded claims. Scandifio’s Cane Corsos, under the guidance of Tony Scandy, remain a cornerstone of the breed, contributing to its excellence and continuity. We must stand united against misinformation and support those who genuinely work to preserve and protect the Cane Corso breed.
