The Cane Corso is a powerful yet gentle giant dog breed originating from Italy. They are dedicated protectors with a noble and confident disposition. Their lineage dates back to ancient Rome, where they were bred as guardians of farms and livestock. Cane Corsos form deep bonds with their families and are fiercely loyal companions. They are intelligent and trainable but require consistent leadership and early socialization to manage their independent streak and potential wariness of strangers. When raised correctly, they can be wonderful with children and make excellent watchdogs, providing calm and quiet companionship.
