Cane Corso Wallpapers

The Cane Corso is an Italian breed of mastiff. It is usually kept as a guard dog; it may also be used to protect livestock. In the past, it was used to hunt big game and herd cattle.

According to the breed standard of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the Cane Corso descends from the molossoid dogs of Ancient Rome; it was once distributed throughout much of the Italian peninsula, but in the recent past was found only in Puglia, in southern Italy. After the collapse of the mezzadria system of share-cropping in the 1960s, the dogs became rare. The modern breed derives from selective breeding from about 1980 of a few surviving animals. A breed society, the Società Amatori Cane Corso, was formed in 1983. The Ente Nazionale Della Cinofilia Italiana recognized the breed in 1994; it was provisionally accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1996 and received full acceptance in 2007. It was recognized by the American Kennel Club of the United States in 2010.

In 2011–2019, annual registrations in Italy were in the range of 3000–4250.

The Cane Corso is a large dog of molossoid type closely related to the Neapolitan Mastiff. It is well muscled and less bulky than most other mastiff breeds. According to the international standard, dogs should stand some 62–70 cm at the withers and weigh 45–50 kg; females are about 4 cm smaller and weigh 5 kg less.

A 2017 study of 232 Cane Corso dogs from 25 countries found an average life span of 9.3 years, varying with different coat colors. The most extended living were black brindle dogs (10.3 years) followed by brindle dogs (10.1 years), grey brindle dogs (9.8 years), fawn dogs (9.0 years), black dogs (9.0 years), grey dogs (9.0 years), and other color dogs (8.1 years).

The Cane Corso is usually kept as a companion dog or guard dog; it may also be used to protect livestock. In the past, it was used to hunt big game and herd cattle.
