Cane Corsos

[dab_20]

They are good dogs. Although, around here, people would still say "...what?"

[buttercup132]

I have a feeling they are gonna be put through the same hell as pitbulls for some reason..I dont know why thats just what I think.
I havnt really nitoced a big boom though.

[new mom to a veiled]

Cane Corsos really are big, adorable pups.

I just HOPE that because breeds like Presas and Corsos are becoming popular, it does not mean that stupid people will exploit the power/size/loyalty of the breed as they did Pit Bulls.

Well said I agree with you 100%

On the contrary, I've noticed a boom in Toy breeds, mainly Pomeranians and Chihuahuas. Thank you Paris Hilton. Thank you Britney Spears. Thank you all dumb celebrities.

I haven't noticed a huge boom in Corsos, but I do realize that many mastiff type breeds are receiving a lot of recognition, including Neos and Corsos. No doubt the induction of the Neo has contributed to their recent surge of popularity. Cane Corsos are registerable through the FSS (Foundation Stock Service), which allows them to maintain a reliable pedigree record but FSS dogs are not registerable through AKC.

Also, did the ads have a lot of pictures? I've noticed that working breeds tend to flaunt one-page ads with many pictures of the dogs succeeding in the ring and outside the ring. Still, sixteen pages is way above average.

Oh yeah, BUNCHES! Every ad had like at least six pictures on it! And many were full-page ads too

Ok someone agrees with me I didn't know if people woulld be mad if I stated that.

I have always loved them and I'm a little scared for them, one part of me thinks that if they recieve AKC recognition, the number of 'akc reg'd pups, $800' type breeders who only have registration to show for will skyrocket

I found out about two years ago that I was pronouncing it wrong the whole time! (correct: caynay corso)

"caynay" corsos? That's a bit odd, haha. I've probably been pronouncing them wrong this whole time, too, as well as every dog trainer and Corso owner I've talked to!

[Suki Wingy]

someone showed me the pronunciation part in the dog fancy article about them because I w3as pronouncing it "cain" so I guess Dog Fancy is wrong.

[Suki Wingy]

there seem to ba a few different ways
I just found this

Cane Corso (pronounced Cawnie Corso)

(http://www.canadogs.com/BreedCaneCorso.htm)
and this:

Cane Corso (pronounced Kah-Neh Kor-Soh)

(http://www.molosserdogs.com/modules....rso%20Italiano)

CANE CORSO
Pronounced
CAH-nay COR-so

9http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/dog...anecorsos.html)

Pronounced Carn-ay Corso (Cane being Italian for 'dog' and Corso derived from the Latin Cohors meaning protector), the breed's name literally means 'guardian' or 'protector dog'. Historically, this term perhaps initially described a type of dog rather than a specific breed.

Cane (pronounced 'Connie') - which means dog.
Corso - derived from the latin word 'cohors', which means to guard or protect.
