Cane Corso
Uma and I just put a down payment on first pick of a new Cane Corso. Will be a blue (actually gray), blue eye, male. We saw mom and dad dogs last weekend. Dad was about 155lbs and stands about 6' tall. Can we say BIG dog?!
I even got to use a attack sleeve with him... talk about POWER!! OMG. Pups to arrive June 2nd. Go home with us at 6 weeks and will already be 25lbs. Here's dad   But we aren't going to crop the ears and going for the blue over the black. Here's a few shots of the last litter    Wifey and I are now getting very excited now that we have a deposit down and contract in. I am told a male at 150# will eat a 50# bag of food about every 2.5 weeks. And of coarse the shit will be insane... I'm thinking I might be able to shit in the back yard and it will blend in! YIKES!!! With these dogs in particular, they actually live 10-12 years.. about the same as your lab or retriever. Very light shedding, no drooling, and very much pack dogs. But as long as we socialize the dog as a puppy he should be fine with strangers as long as he don't pick up on negative vibes by us the owners. The dad dog was crazy on the attack sleeve I was wearing... bruised my arm (and I don't bruise, last time was a high side mc accident). They are a Italian Mastiff breed. A new breed to AKC. Till just recently (the last few months) they were only papered thru a special Cane Corso association. I will get papers for that. It has great bloodlines by Denis Reed. Should make a heck of a sight with 130# Uma jogging with this dog once he's all grown up... Will keep this updated as soon as the pups get here...

OH WOW.... what a spectacular looking dog. Just beautiful..... I'm so glad you're going to leave the ears natural.
Congrats on your (soon to be) new family member! |

Awesome looking dog.. A little bit big for my tastes, but still a very nice dog. I'm thinking about getting either an English Bull Dog or a Boxer. It's been almost a year since we lost out Yellow Lab....

Yeah we wanted something big and something different. Something that people just have to ask "what is that?". And as Nee said, the pups are so incrediablely cute.
And the pick of dad does NOT do his size justice. He is the biggest dog I've ever saw. Not just tall like a great dane, but very atheletic and solid. Originally we were looking at dobermans but found these and Uma did TONS TONS TONS of research on like every dog against these. But once we met a couple they are just awesome. Live longer than others their size and very trainable. All of the ones we met would listen to one word commands. This one guy had one in his SUV and with one word it would bark like he was going to kill you, then one more word... calm. And yeah Nee, the ears don't look as good cropped. Not like a doberman where they look better cropped. This one with its big cheeks looks better with the ears down. The tail will come docked as well as the dew claw removed. |

Cute pups...monster dogs.
I've raised Pit Bulls and Rottweillers but never been around this breed and have only recently read a little about them. Very interseting. Heck of a breed and a big responsibility for sure. Post up plenty of pics.

They are dumb as rocks and even at 6yrs old this dog wouldnt even sit upon command. Given his owner was a total loser but everyone I have seen are such dummies its not funny. My doberman is a very good dog and loves me to no end! I didnt crop his ears either. Good way to go. Who need to put a dog thru that if not only for your own ego. "They look so much Tougher with the ears done!" ya right. hold still let me cut your ears off! Then you will look real tough...
