History of Breed

The Cane Corso dates back to ancient Rome. Many experts believe they are descended from the now-extinct Greek Molossus. Historically, the Cane Corso fought alongside Roman legions, hunted boar and other prey, and, later, guarded property, flocks, and people on farms. This breed is a very loyal, strong, and focused dog.

Cane Corsos do well with routine bathing every four to six weeks. Cane Corsos have a short coat, but it is not a single-coated breed. Their undercoat will shed throughout the year, which is why proper brushing is important. Being sure to clip their nails on a routine basis is also suggested.

The correct ratio of meat-based protein and micronutrients, as well as healthy carbs and fats, will

day, spaced about twelve hours apart. It is also very important to remember to provide your dog
