When
evaluating the Cane Corso character must also come into
the equation.
The Cane Corso should never be fearful. If a Corso is afraid of people how can he effectively perform his duties as a guard dog? Timid or scarce character should be severely faulted. A fear biter should not be considered for the selection of this breed. A Cane Corso that shows belligerence towards other dog’s should not be considered a fault (as long as he poses no threat to others). This breeds history as a combat dog predicates a somewhat belligerent attitude towards other dogs, particularly dogs of the same sex. He should never be overly agitated or figitty like the Boxer, he is always reserved and confident. The Cane Corso should be territorial, he should be in tune and aware of his surroundings and show a keen interest in them. The Cane Corso should never be fearful, and always ready to meet a challenge. You must not mistake indifference or standoffish behavior with fear or aggression.Most Cane Corso’s are not likely to look at you and wag there tail, some yes, but in most cases this will not be so. He should not be outwardly aggressive towards you, he must be under control at all times. The Cane Corso should be a very balanced animal mentally as well as physically, he should be confident, secure, vigilant. He should be a perfect blend of combativeness, aggressiveness, docility, sociability and curiosity. The firmness of his nerves represents the true mental strength of the breed. The Cane Corso requires a great deal of socialization at a young age, this is recommended to combat the breed’s natural aversion to strangers. The Cane Corso will bond quickly to your family, particularly the children, however as mentioned he has a natural aversion to strangers, so it is best to supervise all your children’s house guest and keep the horse play to a minimum. |
