Cane Corso Breed Education

Breed Characteristics

Smart, trainable and of noble bearing, the assertive and confident Cane Corso is a peerless protector. The Corsi’s lineage goes back to ancient Roman times and the breed’s name roughly translates from the Latin as “Bodyguard dog” At nearly 28” at the shoulder and often weighing more than 100 lbs, with a large head, alert expression and muscles rippling beneath their short, stiff coat, Corsi are at a glance intimidating creatures. Their imposing appearance is their first line of defense against intruders. Corsi are intelligent, loyal, eager to please, versatile and intensely loyal to their humans but are also assertive and willful.
