The Cane Corso is an Italian Mastiff, these gentle giants are guardians; they protect their people and their property, and are also very loyal and loving pets. Fiercely devoted to his family, he doesn't care for strangers or small animals. A Cane Corso is more athletic and agile than other mastiffs and a lot of other breeds.
We are proud owners of three beautiful Cane Corsi, 2 males and 1 female and while we are not full-time breeders, we love these dogs, and take great pride in their litters, sparing no expense. Our dogs live in our home, in New York manhattan just a two hours drive from Teatown Lake Reservation, N.Y.. We have 30+ acres where they have plenty of open space for running and swimming in creeks. I work from home and run a successful daycare where they are busy babysitting children all day. They are heavily socialized with people; children of all ages and adults and other animals.
The Cane Corso is an outstanding versatile breed: these dogs are highly intelligent, affectionate, and have an absolute majestic appearance. They are large breed, short haired coat, and trainable to virtually any need. All of our dogs and litters are AKC (American Kennel Club) and ICCF (International Cane Corso Federation) dual registered.
The Cane Corso is not an appropriate choice for an inexperienced dog owner. First-time dog owners and people who have had only “soft” breeds such as retrievers, spaniels, or toy breeds need not apply. This dog is large, powerful, intelligent, active, and headstrong.
Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended for all dogs, but for a breed as big and strong as a Cane Corso, they are a must. Many Cane Corsos can be dominant and protective; socialization will help ensure that he grows into an well-adjusted and well-mannered adult. Obedience training will keep him from becoming the boss in the household. Cane Corsos are intelligent and eager to please, so they are generally easy to train. Despite their appearance, Cane Corsos are all heart, and respond to love and rewards far better than to harsh corrections or training methods.
Make sure to get a Cane Corso puppy from a breeder who raises the pups in their home and provides that proper exposure to many household sights and sounds. Continue socializing your Cane Corso throughout his life by taking him to puppy classes, introducing him to friends and neighbors, and planning outings to local shops and businesses. This is the only way he can learn to be discriminating between what is normal and what is truly a threat.
A Cane Corso needs a leader who can guide him with firmness and consistency without using force or cruelty. That said, no amount of socialization will make him 100% friendly toward people other than his family. The Cane Corso is first and foremost a guard dog, and he takes his responsibilities seriously.
Do your research and know your breed, ESPECIALLY, this breed.
Good Luck.
Happy puppy 🐶
