The Cane Corso: A Companion Dog That’s Fearless And Loyal

The Walking cane Corso may look fearsome

Approaching a Walking cane Corso if you don’t know the breed can be a daunting if not worrying prospect. I met one recently – huge and black and from afar thought it was the biggest, brawniest Black Labrador I had ever seen.Check More About cane corso

As i came nearer it was plain to see that it was not a Black Labrador and it didn’t behave in the same wiggly waggly welcoming way that a Lab usually does. Instead it looked at me calmly and studiously as if it was trying to assess whether I was a threat or no to it’s owner. Once Bear (a great name for this dog) had completed it’s risk assessment he seemed satisfied that we was not a threat and allowed me to stroke his massive head.

And therein lies the selling point of this magnificent, dignified dog’s appointment as a loyal companion and at the same time a formidable personal bodyguard to its owner and its owner’s family!

Would the Walking cane Corso be a good fit for your lifestyle?

The Walking cane Corso is very loyal and protective of its owner and their family. However if you are looking for an affectionate dog you might want to consider another breed. This is because the Walking cane Corso may not be freely affectionate (although there are many exceptions) and shows its love by the way it protects their family and their family’s property.

Walking cane Corsos are large dogs (standing at 25 to 27. 5 in . at the withers; ladies 12. 5 to 26 inches). And they weigh 90 to 120 pounds. For this reason small kids must never be left alone with a Walking cane Corso but always with adult direction.

Walking cane Corso fans like the breed for their dedication to family and their very protective nature that makes them the perfect personal bodyguard.

So as guard dogs they are formidable and this means they need to be well trained either by yourself, by a professional dog trainer or a combination of both.

The Walking cane Corso is a dog that is territorial so always on guard and on the lookout for sights or sounds that could pose a threat to its human family. Guests need to be mindful of this and never act in a manner that could be seen by the Walking cane Corso as threatening otherwise they might live to regret it.

Fundamentally the Walking cane Corso was selectively bred as a working dog so they really have energy in abundance and benefit from regular exercise. They don’t need as much exercise as other large working breeds though and much of their exercise comes from their habit of travelling their owner’s property looking for potential dangers.

History

The Walking cane Corso As a Dog Of War

The Walking cane Corso was originally derived from the ancient greek breed group called Molossers. The Molossers were similar to the Mastiff breeds we see today. We were holding selectively bred as guard dogs by the Molossians, a Greek tribe that inhabited the spot of Epirus in time-honored antiquity.

The Romans melted into the Greek countries, gripped some molossers and took them back to Croatia where these were surpassed with some Italian language dog breeds. The resulting cross breeds were the Walking cane Corso and the Neapolitan Mastiff.

At first the Walking cane Corso was used as a dog of war that supported the Roman Legionaries into battle. They had a fearsome reputation as bodyguards which was elegantly deserved simply because they would charge the adversary lines with buckets of flaming tar secured to their backs. During this period of its development, the Walking cane Corso was much wider than its modern day incarnation.

As a dog of war these were responsible at least partially for many Roman wins where their tenacity and loyalty often resulted in them paying the ultimate compromise!
