Really, I do not agree that this is all ego in regards to this particular dog. Facts are simple in this case; does not have papers, does not fit any of the standards, doe not look like a Corso, there for it is not a Purebred Corso. It is pretty black and white. The arguments of old school Italian dogs from 20-30 years ago do not apply in this case. This dog is not directly out of Tipsi or Alliot... Those are dogs that predate the standard, they fall into a type not a breed. Today's Corso has been established, standards written, registries accept them. Regardless of our feeling on standards and what not, modern CC vs Rustic, the breed is just that. It has become a breed. I agree that many CC with papers are poor examples of the breed. I completely agree that people need to take a good, hard look at what is in their own yards and most importantly BE HONEST with themselves before breeding. Trouble is, most pay money for a "breed" quality dog, their breeders tell them that that is what it is, so regardless of the dogs faults they breed it. I do not believe that the CC is really any different from any breed as far as drama, ego's and politics. There is the same pettiness in all breeds, but because we are not involved in those breeds we do not see it. Crap at the RR nationals in Canada last year there were police called and assault charges...
