About Cane Corso Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Cane Corso, originating in Italy as a powerful guardian and farm dog, belongs to the Working Group and is prized for protecting home and property while being devoted to family. This large, muscular breed typically stands about 23.5, 27.5 inches tall and weighs roughly 90-120 pounds, with a broad head and a short, dense coat commonly seen in black, gray, fawn, or brindle. Temperament is confident, loyal, and naturally protective; they are affectionate with their people but reserved with strangers and do best with experienced owners who provide early, consistent training, thorough socialization, and a secure environment. Energy level is moderate, requiring daily walks, structured play, and mental stimulation, after which they tend to relax indoors. Grooming needs are moderate: weekly brushing, seasonal heavier shedding, and routine nail, ear, and dental care; drooling can be moderate. They are not hypoallergenic. Common health concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye problems, bloat, and some heart conditions, so maintaining a healthy weight and regular veterinary checkups is important.
