    New to breed concerns

    My wide and I have been looking at Corso's for awhile now and have even narrowed our new pup down to a breeder and a time. I have a few concerns that I would rather have answered from real owners and not other sources. We have a three year old son I am not worried about him and I understand the...

    Most effective socialzation techniques..

    I would like some personal experiences from you fellow Presa owners.

    Silly/Dumb comments and the people who speak them!?

    So. I just want to know, what are some of the (sometimes stupid) things people ask/say to you guys or do when you're out and about with your Molossers? With my female, I get "let's put a saddle on that thing!" "Wow, what a handsome boy. How old?" Or "Is that that Kujo dog!?" Or even "Hey...

    Making friends with the cat.....

    Is not really going the way I've anticipated so far. It starts off playful but once that cat gets pissed Nucky turns into a jerk. He will not back down and I need him to realize the cat is not a toy and you are not dominate over the cat. Of course the only time Nucky acts somewhat nice Capone...

    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...

    New Protective behavior in 9 month old puppy

    This is a long post. Bear with me--I want to be sure I do the right thing, because we can't afford another family tragedy like our family experienced four months ago when we lost our 2 year old GSD, Soldier. Soldier bit a 12 year old kid (while on leash), with no warning (and I was always...

    Why are other dogs so aggressive towards my mastiff?

    My OEM is still intact, and this never seemed to cause problems with other dogs, but lately, it does. When I walk him, whatever neighborhood we're in goes up in flames. I took him to the dog park today, which I've stopped doing because of problems, and the same thing happened with the dogs...
