The Cane Corso: Is It the Best Breed for Your Family?
If this is your concern, and you’re wondering whether the Cane Corso is the right breed for you, I want to explain why, in my opinion, the Cane Corso is the best breed in the world for children and families.
1. A Family Dog
The Cane Corso is the perfect family dog. It’s a dog that seeks security, especially if you have children, elderly parents, or any family member who needs protection. If you’re concerned about having a very aggressive dog, the Cane Corso is not the right option. It’s not a dog that behaves aggressively without reason. It can bite, but only in extreme situations, and it’s reluctant to do so. Additionally, its protective instinct towards the family is impressive. I’ve seen that even when children do things that might discomfort the dog, such as pulling its tail, the Cane Corso never reacts negatively. Instead of growling, it simply moves away.
2. Balanced Energy
The Cane Corso is a large dog with considerable strength, but it also has a calm energy. It’s not a hyperactive dog that will drive you crazy running around the house. Its energy is manageable, and once properly trained, it can be easily controlled by voice or leash. I’ve seen how people who don’t weigh much, like women around 50 to 60 kg, can walk a Cane Corso weighing 60 kg with no issues, all thanks to good training and control.
3. Perfect for Inside or Outside the House
The Cane Corso adapts very well to living either inside or outside. It can live outside in a kennel or its own space while still fulfilling its guarding function. If you prefer it to live inside, that’s also an excellent option. It will provide extra security, both indoors and outdoors. This depends on what you prefer, as the Cane Corso is highly adaptable to both environments.
4. Short Coat and Easy to Maintain
Another factor many consider is cleanliness, and the Cane Corso has a short coat that doesn’t shed much. Although it may lose some hair during shedding periods, it’s generally easy to keep clean. Personally, I have several Cane Corsos at home and don’t have any issues with hair. I clean them every two days, and they stay in great condition. Additionally, its coat doesn’t cause allergies like some other breeds, making it even more suitable for living inside the house.
5. Intelligent and Easy to Train
The Cane Corso is an extremely intelligent dog. It can be trained for anything, from basic education to more complex tasks like security or teamwork. Its high intelligence allows it to learn quickly, making training much easier. Furthermore, since it’s a very balanced dog, it’s easy to teach and correct it when necessary.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a dog that’s loyal, protective, balanced, and adapts well to both living inside and outside the house, the Cane Corso is an ideal choice. Its protective instinct, manageable energy, and exemplary behavior with children make it the perfect breed for families.
