Disposition
The Cane Corso is easily trained because of its extreme intelligence. As a large and athletic breed, they need a lot of exercise. They are affectionate to their owners and bond closely with children and family. Cane Corsos are light shedders, which make grooming simple all they need is an occasional brushing.
Exercise
This breed is moderately active and will do okay in a smaller home if they get enough daily exercise. They can also be okay living outdoors if they are provided with enough shelter. This breed is very muscular and powerful so be sure to train them beginning as a puppy in order to avoid negative behaviors or difficultly handling them as they grow.
Grooming
The Cane Corso is easy to care for as they do not require much grooming. Simply comb and brush them occasionally to remove dead hair. This breed is also a light shedder. This breed may drool or slobber, especially in hot weather or after getting a drink.
Origin
The Cane Corso is a native of Italy, where they played watchdog and hunted wild boar. Prior to 1988, the Cane Corso was known only in southern Italy, and was considered very rare, but has still been featured in many paintings throughout Italian history.
