Thanks for the thoughts. there is such negativity around this issue with some people that it amazes me.

I do understand the dominance issue- (although my experience so far is with ACC's rather than CCI's)
[my boyfriend cannot give my Corso a bath- there's no aggression or anything- it's just close to impossible to get a 150 lb dog to go somewhere it doesn't want to. All I have to do is jerk the leash and tell him to, but everyone else is pretty much helpless!] He wasn't difficult to train, but he was more stubborn than dogs I have had in the past.

I do not have access to a scanner at the time, but will try to post some pics within the next couple of weeks.

If you have them handy, I would be interested in seeing some pics of your CCI(s)
