Cane Corso

I recently bought a Cane Corso, so I know. Honestly it really depends on which breeder you get it from. Most breeders charge about $1000-$2000, if you get it from a decent breeder. Usually male Cane Corso cost more money than female.

I would get the Cane Corso if you want a high energy dog, the workout requirements for the Corso are very high. You are looking at a 1.2 mile jog or a 1.7 mile walk a day. Also the breed is a tiny bit on the aggressive side, but would be great with a owner who has had big dogs before.

I have had an English Mastiff for two and a half years. The breeding for an English Mastiff is very hard since they weigh 200 pounds. So for that it would cost $1800-$2200. It is well worth the price. They are very low energy and sleep 18-20 hours a day. Be warned though you are looking at a gallon or two of slobber per day. They are a very cuddly breed though you can hug and squeeze them all you want. They are very tolerant and are great with little kids. They prefer climate of 58 degrees F and 74 degrees F.

The workout requirement is low, maybe a mile walk every four days. They get fat easily.

Their growth plates close between 30 & 36 months, but they will reach the majority of their size by 18 months of age.

cane corso is a vere strong dog he is strong like Caucasian Shepherd

The Cane Corso grows up to 301 lbs. I have one myself. I am not sure how big a mini Corso grows to. Answer - The Cane Corso should be NO MORE THAN 115LBS (100lbs for females)!! The top answerer has an obese dog or doesn't have a Corso at all. Maximum height for males is 27 inches and females 25. Cane Corso are supposed to be big but robust, quick, and athletic. They are not really mastiffs that sit around like the English Mastiff. P.S. There is no such thing as a "mini Corso". Answer - I agree that a Cane Corso male weighs-in between 100 - 150 lbs, with 150 being a very large male. Normally a solid male weighs 115 - 125. 301 Lbs for a Corso is extreme and I think that it would be safe to say that the dog is morbidly obese. There are very few dogs that can weigh 300 Lbs in healthy condition. I think that maybe a Newfoundland might be able to carry that weigh but it would be well outside the norm.

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!

The Cane Corso variety of dog is an Italian dog that was bred specifically to hunt wild boars and is a good hunting companion all around. They dislike strangers and small animals, but are extremely devoted to their owners.

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.

Not to condone fighting but unless a corso is sick or injured a boxer will never beat a corso. I have both and even playing, my corso knocks my boxer around like a toy. Jaw strength on the corso is 3x greater. But the Boxer is a fantastic breed.

However door to door sales people are more intimidated by my boxer. The black mask I guess.

As history teaches the APBT was bred just for the purpose of fighting and is considered the apex fighting breed. The Cane Corso is more of a guard dog. If it came down to a fight between the two, if the game-bred APBT could survive the first ten minutes of the more powerful Corso, it would most definitely win as they're bred to fight for hours on end while the Corso would inevitably give out fairly quickly due to its heavy body and lack of tenacity when compared to the smaller terrier.

I would give the APBT a 75% chance at being the victor.

No I'm not in to dog fighting but am familiar with both breeds.

The cane corso because are much stronger, faster, and smarter guard dogs than pitbulls.

idont kno

A male cane corso has a little larger jaw, more weight strength, and is bigger than a female cane corso.

Yes they do have webbed feet

Considering Cane Corsos are some pretty big dogs, I suspect that as they get older, they will need A LOT of exercise. Lots of long walks and some exercising activities like frisbee or agility courses can be fun for both you and the dog.

Keep in mind that if such a dog doesn't get proper exercise that it will, like all other dogs, become destructive and chew on unnappropriate things in an attempt to entertain itself. This can be incredibly frustating, time-consuming, and money-consuming.

yes you can

it is very possible

All dogs are able to be good family members but it is entirely up to the human involved. Dog breeds were designed with a specific function in mind. Dogo's & Corso's are hunters and guardians. So they will naturally be more incline to protect. A person choosing either of these breeds should be familiar with pack structure, dominance, and obedience. It is impossible to say one breed is better than the other for it is all subjective. Choose the dog that you think you can train to be the family pet that you seek. The shelters are full of fine pure bred dogs that had owners that were clueless as to how to raise a dog. If you choose a dominant dog you better be able to establish yourself as the leader, and that does not mean using anger or force to become the top dog. Man versus dog does not usually go well physically, especially with a dog that was breed to fight and kill its prey! Both of the breeds you list are capable manstoppers! ---------------------------------------------- I have bred both of these breeds of dog. When properly socialized and mastered/dominated, they are both great protector dogs. I prefer the Dogo temperment to the Corso's as I feel the Dogo is more even and patient. In addition, the Dogo does not require special protection/guard training as it will guard instinctively. One of my Dogos sleeping in my children's bedroom (ages 10 and 7) at night gives me great peace of mind.

In Italy, they were often used to guard cattle from wolves and brown bears.

It completely depends on the dominant breed traits in each puppy, so they may end up all looking completely different.

Both breeds take ALOT of proper training, so be sure to read up and learn as much about both breeds as possible.

Pit Bulls are very friendly towards people, so if they receive this trait, you will be very lucky! Cane Corsos may not be as friendly, making them good guard dogs (but this should NEVER be the determining factor in picking a dog) but both breeds have equal drive to please their owners. But please be careful, both breeds are bred to have dog aggression, and need to be dealt with the correct training and handling, which is why I strongly recommend research.

Best of luck with your new puppies!

Sessomatto, Italian comedy movie released in 1973

Seriously, silver-back gorillas will fight and kill any animals that comes to disturb them. A silverback gorilla will get angry and fight if the cane corso came to attack with anger. The silver-back gorilla, which is much smarter and much larger, has super tough skin to protect itself from the cane corso's bite. In addition, if a silverback gorilla can kill wild dogs, it has no problem with the cane corso.

Neo is a great dog but a very unhealthy breed and as such, expensive to own. Corso on average is quite healthy. As such, Corso would be a better option, but to each their own.

No, unless it was cook than the bones can pierce his insides when, but other than that, their bodies are meant to proces raw meats and bones.

Retrain it or put it down.
