Badams, I really could care a rats ass what you think! I think that 20 years is a long time!! You come here with an attitude and fu_k up what could be an insightful discussion. You're probably all bitter and pissed cause you can't afford a good Corso and can only afford one of those fake pits that are roaming the streets. And remember, your pitbulls and your rottweilers and your dobermans, etc. were at some time mutts!! A breed standard was then created and the breed has to adhere to that standard to be considered a representative of the breed! Oh, how do you know that the Corsos of today don't look like the Corsos of old....? Where you there in Italy 30,40,50 years ago? Badams, please tell me if these dogs don't resemble each other? If you don't think so then I think you should get your eyes checked!!
