Cane Corso is an ancient Italian breed, a direct descendant of the ancient Roman Molossus. It was used to fight in arenas with other dogs, bears or bulls, and also served as a guard breed. In the 19th century, when the system of agriculture and farming changed, these dogs were no longer needed and the breed almost became extinct.
The Cane Corso is an affectionate, intelligent, and majestic dog who will stand up resolutely to protect his master, his family, and his property if danger threatens, but otherwise ignores strangers and is not aggressive. Cane Corso loves children, enjoys playing with them, and loves to cuddle. Because he has a high pain threshold, he can withstand wilder games and if the game gets out of hand, the Cane Corso will simply walk away.
The great family dog, but not for inexperienced dog owners, needs firm guidance and consistent education from the puppy age. Unless you set clear boundaries for him, he will struggle to control the household. Early socialization is also necessary. A properly socialized Cane Corso should be indifferent and react protectively only when there is a real threat.
When you bring this amazing family protector to your home, a hard task is coming next. How to name this beautiful giant dog?
By the size? His nature, origin? Don't worry. We made lists of great names ideas for your pup.
