History

Cane Corso History & Lineage

The Cane Corso breed originated in Southern Italy, thought to be a descendant of the old Roman Molosser. Since their beginning, the Cane Corso has been a popular guard dog among many. They were widely used in the area as guard dogs and working companions up until the 20th century. As rural farming began to change around the turn of the century, the Cane Corso would become a rarity, as their use in agriculture declined. It wasn’t until the late 70’s that efforts to preserve the breed from extinction were made in earnest. The efforts of these fanciers to preserve the breed were a success, and in 1994 the Cane Corso was accepted by the Italian Kennel Club. by 2007, the breed was officially recognized internationally by the FCI, and the AKC recognized the breed as well in 2010.

Cane Corso Medical Challenges

The Cane Corso is considered to be a predominantly healthy breed, though some of these dogs have been known to experience issues such as joint dysplasia, demodex mange, bloat, idiopathic epilepsy and some eyelid abnormalities. However, most Cane Corsos live full lives without serious health issues. Annual checkups with your veterinarian will play an important role in helping you to keep up with any issues that may arise. The National Breed Club also suggests that you speak with your vet about hip and elbow evaluations, as well as cardiac exams to help you better understand and ensure their continued health. Always be sure to contact your vet right away if you have any serious concerns about their health and well being. Your Cane Corso will be grateful for all the loving care that you provide for them, and they will be sure to find plenty of ways to show it that will continue to bring you smiles and joy.
