My husband and I do not have children. So we decided to adopt the big mastiff type dogs that are grown but in shelters. First we had a bullmastiff. He was our dog that started it all. He taught us how to be large dog owners. After he passed, we adopted a South African Boeboel! Intense and protective but with training was a true love. She sadly dies too young from a brain tumor. By this time word Haddad gotten out that we can provide living homes to big dogs. So after a little break, we adopted two Cane a Corsos! Mother and daughter. They were taken by the Humane Society after a police raid on a underground breeder. Mom dog was a bait dog and had scars all on her legs. Her daughter was a breeder dog. But we were up to it and with training, kindness and structure, they are just a lovely pair to have. It had been five years now and they are getting older. Mastiff breeds are just the best. They just need the right family. Oh! And lots of drool cloths!

Thank you for making this video! I see so many people purchasing this magnificent breed via social media and it terrifies me to think how many people will acquire this particular type of dog without having ANY idea of the amount of time and energy they require. They are amazing companions IF disciplined and trained apropriately.

I got an 8 m/o cane corso from someone looking for a new home for the pup due to the owners worsening health. I didnt realize what I had gotten myself into until after I had taken him home.

My roommate has an english mastiff and hes big, dopey, and laid back so i figured italian mastiff wouldnt be too different. That couldnt have been further from the truth. I have had smaller (and yappier) dogs when i lived with my parents before but nothing quite so big and demanding.

The dog and I have had a few months of adjusting and its been getting more and more fun and fulfilling caring for Theo and having him around as a companion. (Thats the dogs name btw)

We had a Boerboel in our family for 10 years. Such a good boy. We've had soo many protective breeds over the years (old, english, Fila, Boerboel, Rottweiler, doberman, american bulldog. All super dogs. We've been fortunate. I've been debating another Boerboel or the Cane. I've researched the Cane for a few years.

My cane corso is 5 months now. She's a challenge at times, but we work on it everyday. I also purchased the Perfect Puppy Course before I got her and I work with a trainer. I love her and want to do everything I can to make sure she has every opportunity to be as amazing as I know she can be.

My Corso is broken. Lol He’s a pushover that will let anyone in the house. Most people run when they see him at the door or hear his bark tho. Thankfully they can’t see his tail wagging. 😂

[commendatori]

One of the best personal protection dog's.

I’ve got a 8 month old cane corso x Labrador and he is amazing I used your video to help train him

[cynthiawright]

I absolutely love love the character of Will. I have a Cane Corso. He has taught me how to train my puppy to be my companion, I can't move for the guy. I was definitely doing everything wrong for sure

Between your video's and Jason Corey, I've decided my next service/guard dog is a Cane. I have almost 10 acres of mixed woods and sloping fields so he's going to get tons of exercise. And we're in a small close-knit community so socialization will be plentiful as well! I also have experience with Rots, Pits, Pinchers and other big squishes, but watching the breed specific videos from you two definitely helps. counting down the days when the new baby joins our Pit at the beginning of August!

Looking at getting a corso. Def some things in my life I need to work out first.

[typicallkross]

I have a 10 week old xl american bully/ cane corso mix and got to say he's a little beast

[theadventuresofbruceleeand]

That comment about them being your shadow is sooo true! My corso follows me everywhere, waiting outside the toilet etc! I always assumed it's her fulfilling her duties as a guardian always wanting to know I'm safe, and tbh having experienced some serious antisocial behaviour directed at me in my home, I pity the fool who tried anything now! Fyi I didn't get her specifically to guard me, she's a rescue and fell in love with her pictures because she reminded me of a childhood great Dane we had 🤗

My Corso is the sweetest living teddy bear I swear. He acts like he is 30 pounds lol. All he wants is snacks and lovins. But I will say as soon as he sees someone who is suspicious he is on point watching until they leave his view. He is truly the best dog I have ever owned! His sensitivity makes him one of a kind for sure ❤ his bite is no joke. We give him frozen drum sticks and he chews em like he is eating potato chips. We do live in an apartment, hoping to move into a house soon. Luckily my husband is home 24/7. What helps us is doggy puzzles and a treadmill

great will, you're really asking the right questions! It is so sad to see, how many CC are going to shelters :(

[Nanette-Book-Lover]

I loved mine Teadora we had her when no one seemed to have heard about. Unfortunately, I am so very sad they became a well known breed because so many who used Pitbulls for fighting and generally an abused breed moved their eyes to this breed.

We discovered the breed when overseas and went through a yr of interviews and and having our references checked including our vet records on previous dogs and other animals we have had. When she arrived we socialized her itch everyone in our neighborhood that includes children and all sizes of dogs, she was well trained by our cat also😂.

I agree 100% with responsible breeding and knowledgeable owners this is a breed who will give you everything they have while settling into your heart and soul. I can go on and on about the breed and your role as the alpha learned owner because I love this breed so very much.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[MrBonecollector]

Love mine first time dog owners I wouldn’t recommend. But man once you understand them it’s my favorite

[carsonfennessey]

Good if you can handle them if not your in fir a rough 10 years or so

[lehawkinsjr]

First thing owners should do is learn how to pronounce the name.. LOL

[teop]

Great video, mate.

You should do one on Wire Fox Terriers, a proper British breed 😁

My family is on its 4th, always had foxies, absolutely love this crazy breed!

To this day, most people we meet who recognize them, always describe them as the most intense, nuts, high energy dog they ever had 🤣🤣

Intense pretty much sums it up!
Love the Corso, truly a noble beast.
