Excellent points!

If the Sire & Dam of the litter you are
looking at, do not fit the standard for
Cane Corso, go elsewhere.

I have to laugh at the Cane Corso American
vs Cane Corso Italiano debate. Maybe it
should be FCI vs ICCF?

What do you say when a ICCF Cane Corso wins
BOB in a FCI sanctioned show?

Note: the majority of the CCs in the show
were FCI Cane Corso Italianos.

Hmm, FCI judge & judged under FCI standard,
this ICCF Corso has won BOB (several times).

It's all marketing, a Cane Corso is a Cane
Corso.

This does not mean all Corso are alike,
nor does it mean all breeders are working
toward the betterment of the breed. In
the end it is all about the almighty dollar.

If you, the prospective buyer, doesn't ask
what might seem like a stupid question to
you now, you will pay for it with additional
vet bills in the end.

Here is a question that is rarely asked of
the breeder:

Have any of your dogs or pups been afflicted
with Cherry Eye?

Those owners who are having problems with
aggression or other behavioral problems,
I wonder who has taken and completed obedience
training?

And who has not. The training is not only for
the pup and young dog, it is also for the owner.

Personally, I think not everyone should own a Corso.
They need alot of exercise and a purpose in life, not
just another means of earning $$$ by breeding more CCs.
