The Cane Corso

History

The Cane Corso Mastiff is an ancient Italian versatile farm and hunting dog. Dogs which resemble the Cane Corso in murals, painting, and ancient manuscripts referred to as the Cane Corso since Roman times. For centuries Corsos were all around farm dogs and large game hunters. The average farmer needed the Corso to herd semi wild cattle, pigs, and goats for them. They were also used to provide protection over the livestock and property from poachers or predators. Corso’s were also prized scent hunters and course down large game. 

Training your Cane Corso is a Requirement

Puppies do things that are "wrong."  Relatively few of them are him trying to assert dominance.  One must be careful not to overuse dominate discipline.  If the puppy is not challenging your authority, don’t use a dominant action.  The improper use of dominance can make a puppy shy and afraid.  If the puppy bites too hard when playing, squeeze his lip hard or thump his nose.  Discomfort teaches a lot.  Generally, if something causes discomfort, he won’t do it anymore.  If the puppy becomes more aggressive when corrected, he may need to be rolled but always weigh his attitude.  If it is just "puppy stuff," do not over-correct the puppy with rolling or scruff-shaking.   A squirt bottle with vinegar/water is very effective or a can of pennies shaken hard and loud are great tools when the puppy is engaged in unwanted behavior, i.e. chewing things other than his toys, putting his nose in the trash, etc.  The key to stopping unwanted behavior is consistency.  One day of inconsistency will set you back five with a Cane Corso.

Exercise

 

Puppies need short, frequent walks or play sessions to burn energy and avoid getting too tired.

Adult Corsos need at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise every day, although some may need more depending on their activity level.

Older Corso''s may need less exercise than young adults, but they still benefit from regular walks or other forms of moderate activity.

Testimonials

All we can say is WOW She is amazing!!! We took lots of her time with questions, concerns, stories and whatever else was needed! We have had big dogs for as long as I can remember! All our questions answered! She is very knowledgeable! We picked out our blue boy and after her showing us our boy there was a little black girl that was always with him. So instead of one pup we bought 2! We are so happy with both of our babies! We are very happy with Mastiff Manor. We have a new friend for life! We definitely recommend them if you are looking for a Cane Corso! We were sent pictures throughout so we could see how much they were growing.

AJ took the time to answer all my questions and still answers the questions I have more than a year later. This breed is amazing and super smart. Daily training is key. I will always get my pups from AJ as I know her pairings produce nothing but the best and she breeds for temperament. Our babies... Nova (1y 4m) and Thanos (11m) ❤️
