Cane Corso
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.
