The Complete Guide to the Cane Corso

Author: Vanessa Richie
Publisher: LP Media Inc
ISBN:
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 169

Book Description
Also known as the Italian Mastiff, the Cane Corso is a large dog with a lot of love and affection for the family. However, they are also one of the best guard dog breeds. Like other guard dogs, their appearance is part of what makes the Cane Corso so intimidating. Its regal appearance hides the fact that this is a breed that can be incredibly playful. They are also loath to be away from their family. There is no doubt that they make great guardians, but proper training and socialization makes them a perfect family dog that can go with you anywhere – which will make everyone happy. Cane Corsos can be great guardians, but the vast majority of the time, they are goofy pups that consider themselves lap dogs – you need to let them know that isn’t the case early if you don’t want a 110-pound dog trying to claim your lap. Unlike other mastiffs, the Cane Corso is easy to train as they are real people pleasers. They are not a good breed if you have not had a dog before or if you don’t have time for regular training and exercise. However, you really could not ask for a better breed when it comes to protection, playing, and affection.
