About Cane Corso
The Cane Corso is elegant yet muscular, and not too bulky. They are brave and tough, and need a confident owner to bring out their best nature. With proper training, good discipline, and socialisation from an early age, the Cane Corso will show its faithful and affectionate nature, though they frequently remain a little stubborn.
The head of the Cane Corso is large, giving the dog an imposing appearance. They have a flattened forehead and muzzle. The muzzle is almost as wide as it is long. The Corso’s almond shaped eyes, preferably dark, are set straight and slightly above the muzzle. The Cane Corso’s ears are naturally flopped, though traditionally they were cropped (now illegal in many countries). The skin around the neck is slightly wrinkled, and the lower lip droops a little. In its natural state, the tail is long, but should not be curled over. Although the tail was traditionally docked, today this is often illegal.
