The disease is clinically characterized by skeletal abnormalities, progressive retinal involvement leading to loss of vision, and dental imperfections (brittle, discoloured, translucent teeth).
DSRA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, and the affected puppy is the offspring of a sire and a dam who are both carriers of the disease.
Cane Corso is a strong and athletic dog, intelligent, affectionate, and intensely loyal to its fellows. The Corso's lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed name roughly translates from Latin as "bodyguard dog". Indeed, their imposing appearance is the first line of defense against intruders. Corsos have a height at the shoulder of 70 cm and can reach an adult weight of 50 kg. As with any other large guard dog, responsible breeding and early socialization with people and other dogs is essential.
