History of the Cane Corso

The Cane Corso (pronounced Connie Corso) is a rare breed molossar brought to the United States from the vineyards and farmer's fields of Italy. The history of this breed goes as far back as the history of the Italic people themselves. The breed itself was rescued from the brink of extinction, by some devoted enthusiasts in Italy, in the latter half of the 20th century. It's actual roots can be traced to the ancient Greeks.

Actual documented use of the term "Cane corso" can be dated back to 1137, to a location near Rome. Over the years the breed has served many purposes from hunter, warrior, guard dog to pet. This multi functional background is what lead us to the outstanding example of working canine that we have today. The Cane Corso is a great guard dog. Loyal to it's family, while maintaining it's aloof nature with strangers. He is protective but still able to tell friend from foe. Submissive to his family and suspicious of strangers.

The cane corso is great house dog, large, athletic, and intelligent and barking only when alerted to an unfamiliar situation.

This breed truly deserves the title "working dog". Corso's have earned titles from flyball to personal protection, from confirmation showing to police work. Socialization is an absolute must with this breed. They bond very tightly with their family unit, but require as much socialization to the outside world as possible. This should be started as early as possible! Remember, this is a very dominant breed of dog.
