I know MOST breeders of Corsos out there are very inconsistent! However, as I stated in my previous post, there ARE some lines that breed true and any of the dogs that are line bred will very much breed true. My female comes from Alaric lines and I have seen her previous generations. I have pics of her predecessors for over 6 generations with pics of littermates, etc. And you can MOST DEFINATELY tell they are from the same (Alaric) lines. But the truth is that most breeders out there don't have direction and just put any two dogs together, thus the inconsistency till this day. Also, it should be mentioned that the first Corso standard was drafted only 20 years ago, and there still are some discrepancies as to which standard is the correct one. Until that is resolved, there will be much inconsistency! ALV
