Hi.

I have read that profile and many others, I also tried to learn about that breed for about 5-6 years before I got my dog. Now I am looking for my second CC and my dream is to breed original modern- mixed -less dogs. I will appreciate suggestions for a original CC breeders. I also look for Sicilian Branchiero breeders still existing..

I think that many people stereotyping our Corso -as a bad temper and fighting dogs, but as you've said - owner build his dog character. I really haven't met before more clever and calm breed able to making choices and decisions. That is impressive. I also experienced battles with members of my family about training methods. We get to the point where I had have to drag my dog out from under the bed and hug her to calm her down and show that I am there and she doesn't need to show of her teeth (I've never been scared of my dog and never doubt that I can trust her - I have been scared that she get hurt and then change/turn to a wrong side and I will lose her). I put them under the wall and said that my methods counts and will be inn use or I am leaving. I won. My dog is fantastic, she never hurt, she never showed aggressive again ,she turn sometimes to the sofa dog;) But we all need a little bit of love. She protect our house, she won't attack other dogs...

We have build that  trust. She knows I am right and we are friends.

Why I mentioned that?

Because it is extremely important to take responsibility for your own dog without blame on breed, but with knowing breed well enough to develop the best sides of it. 

Check Mr. Pat Miller -  he said that only risk with training your dog without showing him aggression is that it turn to a fat lazy and spoilt baby, but with no harm to community or itself. 

It is all up to us.

I am joking soetimes that if someone will gonna hurt my guard dog I will have to bite him and then I will get put down..

However she play her role  - she looks scary tho - noone would risk, but also noone needs to know that she is competely safe - and I am safe too, cause I know that I will never gonna loose her for any stupid reason and with my own fault.

That is my opinion.;)

 You made very good points about the Cane Corso and how much of a personal connection they will make with their owner/family. Thank you very much.

The part about using "experts" or "trainers" to train your dog is a valid one.  For a little toy dog or companion dog that is a good thing - they should call on a trainer.  I always said the owners are the ones who should know and train their dogs to suite their needs.  Dogs do need discipline and the owner should be the one to provide the boundaries of Beauvoir.

I think you have read the Cane Corso profile here so please tell me what you think about it.
