Eagle: How I'm I conceding to badams? I say that for 20 years the breed breeds true and there is a set standard! Also, there are many titled Corsos that for over 6 generations have been Corsos. I have no need for APBT blood in my dogs. If their performance abilities disappeard or if they needed new blood because of lack of genetic diversity, then I would consider adding something else. But the PURE Corso based on the FCI standard is very well developed and I don't think we'll need outside blood. Also, read my other posts and you will see that I know that the Corso was a recoverd, rescued or whatever you wanna call it breed and other dog breeds were used as part of the effort, so No idealizing here. My only point is that in 1986 ENCI approved a standard for the CCI and there is NO NEED WHATSOEVER to add pitbull or any other type of blood to the Corso. As a matter of fact, every year more and more Corsos are being titled in Sch., FR and PP sports. That to me is proof enough that a WELL BRED Corso is more than capable of working without the need to cross breed with another breed. Eagle, if adding APBT blood makes for a better dog, then I have a toy poodle back home that might need some of that APBT blood. Maybe you can lend me one of your stud dogs and I'll make a Poo-Bull!!! That should be fun!!! :lol:
