Cane Corso dog breed

Answer 1

The Cane Corso is a catch dog used with cattle and swine, and also in wild boar hunts. It is also used by night Watchmen, keepers, and, in the past, by carters as adrover. In the more distant past this breed was common all over Italy as an ample iconography and historiography testify. In the recent past, its distribution was limited to some districts of Southern Italy, especially in Puglia, Molise, Calabria, and Sicily.

Its name derives from "cane da corso" which is an old term for those catch dogs used in rural activities (for cattle and swine; boar hunting) as distinct from "cane da camera" which indicates the catch dog kept as a bodyguard.

The breed was recovered from near extinction through the efforts of enthusiasts in the 1970s,[4] the Corso is now popular globally, as can be seen by recent celebrity ownership of Cane Corsi.

Since coming to the United States in 1987 the breed has gained popularity.[citation needed] It was recognized by the United Kennel Club on July 15, 2008 under the nameCane Corso Italiano,[5] and subsequently by the American Kennel Club in 2010 under the name Cane Corso.[6]
