cane corso

Leo, my 5 month old CC, snapped at my daughter last night while chewing a bone, and I have some questions about it. In my opinion if Leo is very into a bone he has 100% focus on it. It is almost like he forgets where he is, who he is, and how he is supposed to behave. It is like his wild...

ok im looking to get a cane corso and i went and looked at some puppies and this was there mother.Does this seem like a true cane corso ?i was thrown off by the color havnt seen one with this pattern.Just want opinions basically thanks.

Well I finally went and met my pup and he is everything I hoped for and more. He is what my breeder calls reverse blue brindle. Apparently the lighter stripes will broaden so that the lighter color becomes the more prominent instead of the normal darker grey. His name is Grimaldi (or Grim as he...

HI, Just wanted to introduce myself and my 19 weeks old CC, NiKlaus Odin. I am very pleased to have stumbled across this website. The members offer very useful information. While I am on the subject, I am curious if anyone can provide me with advise. I had an incident today where Klaus...

I have been on the forum now for a couple of months hearing of all the new puppies and viewing the pics while waiting for my Cane Corso puppy to be born. Well here he is! No name as of yet as still trying to get a feel for the little guy and as only 6.5 weeks old have some time. Although he is...

So yesterday the boy ate my couch. Not the whole thing as I only turned my back for five minutes but he took a chunk. Now I am not naive enough to believe he won't destroy his fair share of furniture but I believe he humbled me yesterday. He reminded me that no matter how hard you work at this...

Hi All, First off, thanks for welcoming me to this site. It seems like a great place to learn with a plethora of information from great posters. I live in NNJ outside of Manhattan and will be bringing home a Cane Corso in the beginning of April. I am looking for some suggestions, feedback...

I seem to take two steps forward, one step back with Hank. This morning perimeter walks went perfectly but the minute we came inside, it was like a frat boy loose at the Playboy mansion. He was tackling the cat and humping his monkey. He was chasing me down to play tug of war on my pant legs. Do...

Before deciding to get a Cane Corso I did extensive research on the breed. In all my research I never ran across anything saying that they could have webbed paws, but my Leo has them. Is this a common trait for this breed, or is Leo unique? I have had labs over the years, and I know that...

We had Hank's blood panel and genetic testing done on the day we did his ear crop. I was wondering at what age we should have his hips xrayed in order to obtain his pennhip score? I have heard varied responses ranging from 7 months - 2 years. Some even say it's not accurate when done too young...

What should we expect or be ready for? Nervous parents here...

After twice weekly visits for the past month, Hank is home! Everyone was so excited (we have six kids, 10 - 22). The boy is MASSIVE, nearly 30 pounds. He looks like a normal little puppy: Until you place him in perspective: Hank's paw in my wife's hand.

Leo, my 14 week old CC, has been having some issues in puppy class that I wanted to run by all of you. - His first class he was terrified by all the other dogs and hid behind anything or anyone to get away from all the other dogs. We were recommended to leave him and walk away when he follows...

My 14 week old Cane Corso Leo was almost all black when we got him. For a few weeks he seemed to be getting a new brindle stripe every day, but that seems to have stopped. I am wondering when about how long it takes until they are for the most part there final color? Not a big deal, just...

I live in Maine, and this morning was 17 degrees outside. My Cane Corso puppy, Leo, is about 13 weeks now and he really does not like the cold. I know this breed does not handle the cold very well, and I am wondering how long is too long outside for him? I would never leave him chained...

I took Piper to the Vet to get her ears posted yesterday. The doctor gave me some pills to sedate her for the rest of the night and wanted me to come back in 5 days to get the posts removed. Piper pulled it off in less than 24 hours.. so we're headed to the vet again today. Does anyone have any...

I have a 12 week old Cane Corso puppy. We have been socializing him as much as we possibly can. He seems to love meeting new people. He submits to anyone new and just wants to lick them as much as possible. He is very shy around new dogs, but his confidence builds quickly and does fine when...

Hi Mastiff Friends. My Cane Corso rescued me two years ago. Of course I thought I was rescuing him when I adopted the 2 yr.old lug. But as always been the case with all my previous rescues (Rottweilers), it's not long before I realize I need them more than they need me - lol. Looking forward to...
