| The Cane Corsos are classic mastiffs without the loose skin of the
other related mastiffs. Cane Corsos were once used as cattle drivers and
hunters of large game animals. They originated from Italy, and were, and
still are, used as police dogs. They have tight skin around the mouth
which ensures less drooling than other mastiff breeds. Their coat is
very coarse and shinny. Cane Corsos can be a great family pet, watch
dog, guard dog, and are good with children. They are extremely
intelligent dogs who can be easily trained. They thrive on regular
exercise. Cane Corsos weigh between 80 to 160 lbs. The males stand 25 to
27.5 inches and the females 23.5 to 26 inches at the shoulder. Cane
Corsos vary in colors. They can be fawn, red, blue, black, black
brindle, chestnut brindle, blue brindle, or formentino. |
