Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has some back ground experience owning a cane corso as we're really interested in buying one.
I had a large/fluffy male German shepherd for 10 years until he had cancer. So I'm used to looking after a big dog with a medium energy level.
Any advise and things to look out for would be of help before I commit to one.

No personal experience, but there's a YouTuber I've watched a few videos from called Jason Corey, he owns a Cane Corse and his channel is all about his dog and the breed, so might offer some useful information.
Stunning dogs though!

A good friend has one, beautiful dog, but not for me. He is going to breed her and has offered me a pup, I politely declined.
They are incredibly strong, I'm not sure if I could control one if it turned on something or someone and that's coming from someone who is an experienced Dobermann owner. I just don't trust them.
They seem to be the new dog of choice of a certain type, no offence mean to the OP.

OK sensible professional hat on.
I'd urge extreme caution here. I know a few trainers who won't even take them on (I have turned them away from my classes - I would only permit 1:1 it's too much of a potential risk for my other clients and their dogs - not so much the dog but the ability of the owner and the history they give you). They aren't an easy breed and certainly not for inexperienced hands.
If you do get one, you do not want to make any mistakes with so please please do not follow or take advice from unqualified people on the internet.
I would also ask why you want one.

Shocking to see from that article how many 'celebs' have dogs with cropped ears. To me, they look absolutely horrible.Sorry for the Mail link:

They can be difficult, stubborn and scare people who own cockerpoo's etc. But they are actually well balanced, incredibly loving and will bond with you something fierce.I'd urge extreme caution here.

Socialisation is key as with all dogs. Its just more pronounced as you cant pick it up like people do with their chihuahua when its going mad nipping peoples ankles.
I fully expect to be abused for this but the ear cropping thing is just people jumping on the cruelty bandwagon.
If the dog is below a certain age i believe that their nerves have not fully developed and if done properly they feel no pain. I see advocates for it are very much against doing it over a certain age as it is then cruel as they can feel it.
minor advantage is less ear infections, but that is an excuse. People do it because they think it looks better and i do myself. Sorry but thats what i think and i do get why people might be against it.
As long as little boys have the end of their dick cut off i dont think cropping a dogs ear is that bad.
Anyway, making this type of thing illegal just drives the practice of people cutting the ears of themselves with scissors which is what i believe happens........now that is fking cruel!
Anyway, beautiful dogs but far too big for me and tbh they do look fking dangerous! i dont know much about them but i can say that if one wanted to the damage could be horrendous.
