About Cane Corso Dogs

Cane Corso, or just Corso, dogs come from the ancient “canis pugnax”, the Roman Molossian. It was taken on as livestock guard and self-defense, as well as for game hunting and as fighter in war. His name “Corso” comes from the Latin “Cohors” which means “protector”.

Although during the centuries he has been applied for various applications, Corso dog has always stood out for his unusual feature, being able for guard and defence as well. Throughout the centuries he has kept his tough brave temperament; he is an excellent biter, although he never attacks without a valid reason. He is one of the best breed along with the Neapolitan Mastiff as a property guard.
