Here are two facts about the Cane Corso:
-
Ancient Heritage: The Cane Corso is an Italian breed that descends from ancient Roman dogs known as the Canis Pugnax, which were used for hunting and guarding. This breed was recognized for its strength, loyalty, and protective instincts.
-
Large and Muscular Build: Cane Corsos are known for their impressive size and muscular physique. Males typically weigh between 100-120 pounds (45-54 kg) and stand about 24-28 inches (61-71 cm) tall at the shoulder. Their strong build makes them excellent working dogs, particularly in roles that require protection and guarding.
