Breed history

The Cane Corso is an ancient Italian breed that has a history rooted in the Roman Empire. Descended from the Roman Molossian dogs, the Cane Corso was originally bred as a versatile working dog, used for hunting large game like wild boar and as a guardian of livestock and property. The name “Cane Corso” comes from the Latin word Cohors, meaning “guardian” or “protector.” This breed was also known for its role in guarding and protecting the family, showcasing its powerful and loyal nature. After facing a decline in popularity, the Cane Corso was revived in Italy in the late 20th century and has since gained recognition around the world as a formidable working and companion dog.
