new member and new cane corso owner!

[jcook]

Welcome to the forum! always stoked to see another CC on here. I think he looks great. like others have mentioned, he wont be FULLY developed till 2-3. You cant really change a dogs size, you can only manipulate their weight, so just keep him lean and healthy and wait and see how he grows. He is very handsome

 

[Douzak]

yeah! you re right...thnaks for the advice.

your CC looks great! perfect!

hello again!

after almost 20 days I took the weight of my pup CC..
unfortunately argie not only hasn t gain weight, contrariwise has lost 1 kg...

he do eat a lot, only dry food Arden Grange (500 gr / day). when i try to give him more food (something like 100 gr plus), he has much more poos and also stomach problems.

Argie: Cane Corso, Male, 37.2 kg, 65 cm height, 13 months old.

any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome. Has he been to the vet to see if there are any other issues? Do you have any recent pictures you could post so we could see how he is looking? Both would help. Based on your earlier pictures your dog looks healthy. I personally wouldn't up the food as you will just make him overweight. Do not worry about what the scale says, that doesn't matter. All that matters is your dog is happy and healthy. Too many people worry about having a big dog, at times to the detriment of the animal.

Hi there!

The vet says that is ok and really healthy. There is nothing to worry for. He told that Argie maybe is a small size cane corso.

Here is same pictures..

thank you..

he doesn't look thin to me... maybe he's going to hit a massive growth spurt sometime and surprise you!

 

[musicdeb]

He looks pretty healthy to me. Argie is quite handsome!

Is Argie an outside dog? My 15 week old Corso is a tad thin (in my opinion) only because she loves to be primarily outside with my kids. Hide and seek is a constant. How is his prey drive? I know a few breeders with HUGE (140 pounds +) Corsi and they are lazy. He looks good.

argie is an in-house dog. he walks aprox. 1,5 h / day. He is very protective and an excellent guard dog. he always try to be in our interest and for sure is the opposite of the lazy pup. his father weights 57 kg (126 lbs) and his mother 48 kg (106lbs).

Hello everyone again...

Argie is now 40 kgs and he is 14 months old. He gain some weight and I think he will keep growing for the next 4-6 months..I must post some new pics.

Advise me pls for the vaccine kalazar. I had the first round and they have two left.

Opinions - suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

 

[Douzak]

Hi there!

Any news for the message above?

Thanks a lot.

 

[musicdeb]

I never heard of Kalazar but read it was dogs in Brazil. Are you in Brazil?

Long lasting protection against canine kala-azar usi... [Vaccine. 2002] - PubMed - NCBI

 

[Douzak]

Thank you for your time and your research..
No, I live in Athens (Greece).

It is a disease that has an upward trends in our area. The vet suggest that I have to proceed with the vaccine, so I did the 2 rounds and I have 1 left. I just don't know the effectivness of the specific vaccine and the side effects.

I also want to share with you guys, the growth chart o fmy CC:

He was born 30.03.12 (male):

23/08/12--13.7 kg (5 months aprox)
10/09/12--17.4 kg (5.5 months aprox)
15/09/12--21.2 kg (6 months aprox)
29/10/12--25.7 kg (7 months aprox)

He is very healthy and has perfect body proportions.

Hi, I'm Leigh & I too am new to this forum & breed. I'm the proud owner of a 15 week old cc (Marco). He's 44 lbs., and I have to say he's the best pup I've had. I'm also the proud owner of a 12 yo lab/chow & an 8 yo Yorkie. I came across this site looking for info regarding cropped ears & decided to join the "pack" of other Mastiff owners. Looking forward to gaining more useful info from the seasoned Mastiff owners on here.
