A cane corso is not a match for a Bullmastiff. The Bullmastiff is much more powerful. Many make this same mistake comparing the two. Not many do breeds in fact are truly a match for a Bullmastiff. The people who think that way do not understand the true purpose of the Bullmastiff, they lack education.
The English Mastiff and Cane Corsa are both Mastiff breeds. There are many dog breeds labeled under Mastiff. Some more are the Bullmastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, and the Dogue De Bordeaux. Also, the Great Dane was first known as the German Mastiff.
Sicily doesn't have dog mascotte. Cane corso is not from Sicily, cane corso is a recreation dog created in the sixties. There's not genetic difference between cane corso and mastino napoletano. They are the same dog. The corso is a recreation of the corso meridionale o presa meridionale a farm dog of southern Italy, only few survivors where left after the Second World War, in the Campania and Puglia regions. Many of this very protective dogs, guarding the farms of southern italy, were killed by germans and allied troops when they landed in Italy. This dogs were killed during the war cause the were not allowing anyone near farms and property, very few probably less than 10 were left after the war. The survivors were mixed with mastino napoletano and boxers and others to save them from extinction, that is the cane corso of today. the national animal of italy is a wolf .the lupus italicus Italian national dog is the wolf not the cane corso that is the Lupus Italicus. it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canis_lupus_italicus
A mastiff might give birth to only one puppy in a pregnancy, but litters of up to 16 puppies have been reported. In between these two extremes is the average litter size, which is about eight puppies.
Well it depends but atleast 10 to 12 dogs depending on the breed.
In order for your Cane Corso to become an AKC Champion, he needs to win 15 points, but two of those wins must be major wins (3 or more points per win). Each state is different in its requirements of the number or dogs or bitches needed in order to make a Major win, which is 3 points or more.
Well, if they have a 'pack' of 3 or more, yes it is possible for it to bring down a full grown lion. They are very powerful, and if their owner is being attacked or their mate or pups, they will fight to the death, as they are very loyal and protective of their family. However, they do not go around attacking anything without good reason.
Quite a few actually. Popular ones are... English Mastiff German Mastiff (Better known as Great Dane) Tibetian Mastiff Neapolitan Mastiff Bull Mastiff Anatolian Mastiff French Mastiff Spanish Mastiff And still there are more. c:
While I'm no authority on either breed, I have become somewhat familiar with each. My son just purchased a 2 yr old South African Boerboel and I am currently seeking a Cane Corso. The Boerboel is also known as a South African Mastiff while the Corso is an Italian mastiff. Both breeds are large dogs with the Boerboel being the larger of the two. Both are reputed as being excellent guards, and loyal family pets for those who are dominant enough to establish themselves as the pack leader. I am heeding the advice offered by many on the intrenet, carefully researching as much information as I can, and visiting as many breeders possible. These dogs must be of the best temperment for they are a very powerful breed. I have raised several Rottwielers but typically both the Boerboel and the Cane Corso physically dwarf the Rottie. If you are not accustom to handling large dog breeds it is advised that you start with another breed. If you are insistant on starting with either of these two breeds then I would highly recommend that you start with a puppy that is submissive. Unless you intend to use the dog for what it was breed to do (WORK), a submissive speciment should serve you well since their physical presence is more than enough to deter any suspicious callers. I hope that this helps and good luck however you decide!
It depends on what you mean by fast because I run 40 yards in 4.38 seconds. Im doubting that there is an exact speed for it. Its not a super fast dog. Ive been chased by many dogs.... German shepherds, pitbulls, a doberman, presa canario, and a cane corso. The German shepherds were the fastest 2 of them almost caught me and one of them passed me up but hes huge! He is 29inches to the shoulder and 113lbs and if you don't believe me then click that! That's my proof about his size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U18DG1LVXE but the pitbulls werent as fast as you would think.... But the cane corso isn't fast unless the thing that its chasing is in a enclosed area with it.... because it can only avoid it for a certain amount of time.
I may say that the "English Mastiff" is the only domesticated dog that's bigger than a "Rottweiler". I am pretty sure that if the Rottweiler and the English Mastiff fought, of course the English Mastiff will win because English Mastiff's are heavy and if the English Mastiff fought the Rottweiler, I am sure that the English Mastiff with squish the Rottweiler to death.
Great Dane by a few inches for the average height. Great Danes tend to be taller, where the Mastiff tends to be stockier.
