Although it might seem otherwise, I do agree with you on most points. Like I said, my Neopolitan/Rott looks like she could walk into a ICCF show and be championed. I think that this is evidence enough of the neopolitan infleunce on alot of american corsos. I also was not insulting italian breeders. I am looking into importing a Corso in the near future. my point was that I have found several sites- (a small minority) that breed corsos to look like boxers- the same way alot of american kennels breed them to look like neopolitans.

It has been a while since I have been actively researching this. I will try to find some of the websites and let you know. I am also always looking for new information on this- my research so far has been internet-based. if you have any recomendations on books, literature, or web-based info., I would be very appreciative if you pass it along, thanks in advance for your time and best wishes,
