Cane Corso (detailed introduction)

　　The personality of the Cane Corso matches its appearance; very brave and full of tenacity. This dog has excellent endurance, so once it starts fighting, it often fights to the death, in a do-or-die situation until total victory or complete defeat (severe injury or death).
　　The ancestors of the Cane Corso once battled bears, and even large fierce beasts like lions and tigers in ancient Roman gladiatorial arenas. The most glorious history of the Cane Corso is having served in the ancient Roman army, accompanying and guarding their owners directly on the battlefield. It is very loyal to its owner, very gentle with other family members, likes to play with children, and is tolerant of children's excessive behavior. The Cane Corso is also very intelligent and easy to train. However, it has a rather stubborn temperament, so care and proper guidance are needed. Moreover, the Cane Corso has a strong desire to dominate, especially the males, so obedience must be well cultivated throughout the dog’s life. Training obedience in the Cane Corso is not difficult but must be done, or the consequences may be severe. The Cane Corso is very wary of strangers and may show moderate friendliness but will not be enthusiastic nor attack without cause. However, it will immediately launch a ruthless attack on anyone who poses a threat or invades its owner. The Cane Corso is an outstanding guard dog.
