He appears to me as being a brindle cane C. Period.
Does he fit the corso's characteristic?
I do know one thing, he is a gorgeous baby.

Also, not too expensive, but you can do a genetic test and find out exactly if you muzt know. Personally, i would really wish to know due to the fact you want to fulfil his breeds instincts. Such as if he was bred, or has it in his breed to work, sporting, hound etc. It could only benefit this beauty because for example-if he is from the working breed, he would be happier doing tasks geared towards working. Then again, he may have 2 differnt, maybe3 that he is intellectually designed to offer you many different options and fulfilling his breeds characteristics, you would have one happy puppy as opposed neglecting his ability to perform as he is designed only due to the fact you have no idea what he is made or bred to actually do.
Hope this makes sense

He is a beautiful big boy.

Not an expert, but I think there is something else in there, not just a Corso.

You can get a simple DNA test done, which will give you an idea (although some of these tests are a little wonky, if you have more than two breeds in the mix).

There are a few questions you need to answer, to determine if he's a Corso:
Is he a stubborn asshole?
Does he try to eat his weight in kibble, then act like you haven't fed him in, at least, a month, then try to eat your food?
Do you need to exercise him until he can't move, unless he turns into something out of "The Exorcist"?
Is his biggest joy in life waking you up at ungodly hours, just because he heard some other dog bark/ is bored and wants to go play/ ruin your day?
If the answer to this questions is yes, than he's a Corso.
Seriously, though , there's obviously cane Corso in there, but I think it's mixed with something, he looks a bit too stocky and I don't think that face is pure Corso. How big is he? He could be part EM.

I am working with a dog trainer over his food when fed that is when he turns into Cojo

In my opion I definitely see some corso. I also see a little EM in his face and build. Either way you have a gorgeous boy. I second the thoughts of genetic testing. It's not very expensive and you will get the answers you are looking for. Good luck in your journey!!

ROFL Lullicris! Too funny! Although, my not at all corso (that I know of) Diesel has ALL of those traits. I seriously need to get that boy DNA tested. Now Kahlua who is a 1/4 CC is a lot more mellow.. but the eating thing... Yup she is constantly starving and if something looks small enough to eat (no matter what it is) then she will try to eat it. She plays hard when she plays but she is super happy to chill when she isn't playing. Now Diesel... Diesel is the energizer bunny. There is no such thing as tiring him out.

Harrygto - I see CC in him also. But, either way he is so beautiful <3

When Thor was little, I could determine how he'd spend his day based on his poop (I live him at my parent's house, while at work). Rocks, pieces of string, wood, UFO's in it? Was outside with grandpa. Any plastic bag? Grandma probably cooked meat and was not careful enough with the bag it came in. Looking like a bloated whale and pooped like a baby elephant? Got hold of the food waste bucket.
