About the Cane Corso

The Cane Corso (pronounced KAH-neh KOR-so) descends from the ancient Roman war dogs known as Canis Pugnax. The breed’s name likely derives from the Latin “cohors,” meaning guardian or protector. For centuries, the Cane Corso served Italian farmers as a guardian of property and livestock, a hunting dog for large game like wild boar, and a general farm hand.
