The History of Cane Corso<\/h2>\n
The origins and the history of the cane corso<\/strong><\/a> go back to its first records centuries ago during the Roman Empire, as it is a descendant dog of the molasses of Rome, the canis pugnax<\/strong>, which was used as a war dog<\/strong> and faithful companion of the legions in the front lines of the most important battles of the Roman conquest. It was also used for circus games and as a gladiator dog<\/strong>. The cane corso breed is characterized by its obedience, bravery and above all its loyalty.<\/p>\n
Its abilities were not limited to that, it was also an excellent hunting and farm dog<\/strong>, guarding the grounds and providing food for its masters, facing ferocious animals such as lions, bears or wolves.<\/p>\n
The Italian Mastiff was on the verge of disappearing around the 20th century, but its faithful followers, with a lot of discipline and effort, managed to recover the breed so that in 1993 it was recognized by the International Federation as a breed and in 2007 it became official.<\/p>\n
Over the years, these dogs fulfilled other tasks. Some people even used them as companions on long trips. Why? Because of their intimidating appearance and their sobriety. No one would mess with someone who had a Cane Corso with them.<\/p>\n
In recent times, it wasn’t until 1998 that the first records of the Cane Corso appeared. These were military documents highlighting the great potential these dogs could offer in field missions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
