Cane Corso is a medium to large sized, muscular and strong dog with short fur.
The Cane Corso is characterized by a noble and impressive appearance thanks to its athletic and elegant structure, so it looks larger than it really is.
The height of males is between 62 – 70 cm and their weight ranges from 42-54 kg. Females are between 58 – 64 cm tall and weigh 38 – 46 kg. Today it is illegal, but until recently it was customary to cut the tail and ears of the cane Corso.
Common fur colors: beige, brown, gray, black, and a mottled mix of colors. The life span of the Cane Corso is around 10 years under good breeding conditions, and is known for dogs that have lived for more years.
Kana Corso (in short) Corso is a very serious dog breed for the most serious dog owners who want a companion who needs love and guidance and boundaries to make him the amazing dog he is. He’s a family dog - only! Don’t expect him to connect with anyone else. He has no interest in other people or animals outside the family, but those in the family will gain loyalty and protection.
This dog needs work. He won’t just lie down all day, and he’ll find his own “work” if you don’t let him. This way it would be running along the fence and barking, digging pits for China, or chewing furniture. If you have a farm or farm, he will be happy to help you with the animals. Otherwise, get him involved in sports like agility, groping, discipline and the like.
Kana Corso is one of many Mastiff dog types. This dog has evolved in Italy and is said to be descended from Roman war dogs. Built more lightly than his cousin, the Neapolitan Mastiff, was bred to hunt, preserve property, and become a general farm dog. Working on the road included pigs or cattle ..
The word “kana” of course, is in Latin “dog” and comes from the word “canis”. The word corso may come from the word “cohors,” which means bodyguard, or from the word “corsus,” an ancient Italian word that says brave or hero.
The dog dropped out of farm work as the world became more mechanical, and the breed almost became extinct. But since 1970 dog lovers have tried to rebuild the Cane Corso. Also the Cane Corso Association in 1983, and the FCI officially recognized the race in 1996.
A man named Michael Sutile imported the first Cane Corso litter to the United States in 1988, and another in 1989. In 2010 the breed finally received recognition from the American Dog Association of the AKC
