The Cane CorsoTemplate:Efn is an Italian breed of mastiff. It is usually kept as a companion dog or guard dog; it may also be used to protect livestock. In the past it was used both for hunting large game and for herding cattle.

History

According to the breed standard of the Script error: No such module "Lang"., the Cane Corso was once distributed throughout much of the Italian peninsula, but in the recent past was found only in Puglia, in southern Italy.[1]Template:R/superscript[2]Template:R/superscript After the collapse of the Script error: No such module "Lang". system of share-cropping in the 1960s, the dogs became rare. The modern breed derives from selective breeding from about 1980 of a few surviving animals.[3]Template:R/superscript

A breed society, the Script error: No such module "Lang"., was formed in 1983.[4]Template:R/superscript[5]Template:R/superscript The breed was recognised by the Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1994;[3]Template:R/superscript it was provisionally accepted by the Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1996, and received full acceptance in 2007.[6]Template:R/superscript It was recognised by the American Kennel Club of the United States in 2010.[7]Template:R/superscript

The number of annual registrations in Italy in the period 2011–2019 was in the range of Script error: No such module "val"..[8]Template:R/superscript

Characteristics

The Cane Corso is a large dog of molossoid type, strong and muscular but not without elegance;[1]Template:R/superscript it is closely related to the Neapolitan Mastiff. According to the international standard, dogs should stand some Script error: No such module "val". at the withers and weigh Script error: No such module "val".; bitches are about Script error: No such module "val". smaller, and weigh some Script error: No such module "val". less.[1]Template:R/superscript The head is large, slightly over one third of the height at the withers in length, with a well-defined stop. The top of the cranium is flat and slightly convergent to the muzzle. The eyes are oval in shape, and set well apart. The iris of the eye should be as dark as possible.[2]Template:R/superscript

The coat is short, dense and lustrous. It may be black, various shades of grey (lead-grey, light grey or slate-grey) or fawn (dark fawn, light fawn or stag red), or dark wheaten ('Script error: No such module "Lang".'); it may be brindled. Minor white markings on the chest, the feet or the nose are tolerated.[1]Template:R/superscript[2]Template:R/superscript

The Cane Corso is genetically pre-disposed to elbow and hip dysplasia, to patellar luxation and to retinal dysplasia. It has above-average susceptibility to demodicosis, ectropion, entropion, gastric dilatation volvulus (bloat), hypothyroidism, idiopathic epilepsy, mycotic otitis and nictitans gland prolapse ("cherry eye").[7]Template:R/superscript

In 2017 a study of 232 of the dogs from 25 countries found an average life span of 9.3 years, varying with different coat colours. The longest-lived were black brindle (10.3 years), followed by: brindle (10.1 years); grey brindle (9.8 years); black, fawn and grey (all 9.0 years); and dogs of other colours (8.1 years).[9]Template:R/superscript The median life span is also reported as 8.1[10]Template:R/superscript and as 9 years.[11]Template:R/superscript

Use

The Cane Corso is usually kept as a companion dog or guard dog; it may also be used to protect livestock. In the past it was used both for hunting large game and for herding cattle.[8]Template:R/superscript

It is subject to a working trial: in order to qualify for registration, dogs must show tranquillity in the presence of inoffensive strangers, indifference to gunfire, and aggressive defence of the owner against an attacker.[1]Template:R/superscript[12]Template:R/superscript
