Dog breed cane Corso, perhaps the most important canine heritage of Italy, which, like the cuisine of the Apennine Peninsula, subdued the whole world.
The history of the breed dates back more than 2,000 years, but to this day it still has a lot of mysterious gaps, to fill which, probably, never will. Here, for example, one of them. The first mention of these amazing dogs can be found in the annals of Alexander the great, where, in addition to the descriptions of his famous horse Bucephalus, there are stories about two faithful dogs that accompanied Alexander during his many campaigns. The great conqueror in his notes said that, "these powerful creatures, resembling a mixture of wild cats and bears, fearless and very loyal. They don't reach for power, they are power. And this power is so great that dogs are able to knock the rider on the horse". Macedon after the death of his dog is missing. They say they died in battle defending their master. However, no one saw them dead.
Not only legends, but also images of animals remained. Some ancient paintings and drawings depict scenes where dogs dressed in burning iron armor, very similar to modern Corso, were the first to attack enemy troops. Based on this, we can safely say that the breed was originally focused on fighting. But, of course, light and sturdy molosser-type dogs used for hunting the beast: as a rule, it was a wild boar, but there are known cases of persecution bear, and even wild cats.
Was the rock and the hard times. After world war II, the warriors of cane Corso practically disappeared from the face of the earth. And only thanks to a small group of canine enthusiasts managed to save from extinction. Now cane-Corso is considered one of the most elite breeds — even despite the, that once these dogs were companions ordinary farmers. But it was life in the village that consolidated in Corso those virtues that are admired to this day. Now this versatile dog perfectly performs the functions of a guard and a watchman, a gentle nanny for children and a great companion for long walks.
The modern cane-Corso is quite large and heavy dog, but it is dry and strong, it is active and easily gets used to different living conditions. Corso thrive in private homes and large farm-houses, and conventional homes. Because the main thing for them is to always be close to the owner and always be useful to him. No wonder about the cane Corso say, "not Yet a man, but not a dog!»
The price of the puppy cane Corso from good manufacturers starts from 2 000 euros and reaches five-digit numbers.
