Cane Corso

Cane Corso

Description of a Cane Corso.

The Cane Corso is a recently recovered breed, and its history will probably always be shrouded in mystery and differing opinions. The breed was originally to be found mostly in the south of Italy, Puglia, and also similar dogs were found throughout Sicily. It was a farm dog, used for big game hunting, guarding, and many other purposes throughout its history. Recovered from near extinction through the efforts of a group of enthusiasts in the 1980's, now the Corso is becoming a very popular breed globally.

Probably derived from the same root stock as the Neapolitan mastiff; the Roman war dog "Canis Pugnax". Where the Neo went for power and weight, the Corso favoured agilty, speed and stamina.
