I actually kind of know the answer to this question but wanted to see if I could ruffle some feathers. Haven't posted in a while....been really busy moving, hunting and watching a good "old school" 30 inch, thick skinned, rough coated Cane Corso get old and gray. He's 9 yrs old, still happy and I've loved every minute of the 9years I've had him. When I first started looking at the breed around 2000 there were lots of big dogs that were long, tall and had much more stature than the Bullmastiffs and Rottweilers but every dog I see these days is 25 to 27 inches and 130 lbs with thin skin and pit/bullmastiff heads. The old long, tall 28-30 inch dogs of the same 120 -130 lbs with skin like armor and a Labrador/Rottie length coat were a much more utilitarian dog. I guess the AKC knows how to inflict their confirmation standards on good breeds at the cost of everything else (not so much of a guess actually). So lets here it. I'd love some opinions or.....maybe someone else has noticed the Corso transform into 120lb boxers. ??
