A long history of protection
Cane Corso's are an amazing breed of dogs whose origins come from Ancient Greece. They were originally bred as war dogs. Later they were used in the Roman coliseums.
Although they nearly went extinct during WWI & WWII, the breed was rescued by farmers who realized their value as protectors for their livestock, land and their families. Ever since then they have become more and more popular.
As the world seems to head deeper into high crime rates and violence, people realize that a protective canine is needed now more then ever.
This breed of dogs love their human families and are cuddle bugs. They love to play and use their front legs a lot like we humans use our arms. However they are sure to protect and guard against anyone or anything that would try to harm there human families. They easily recognize if someone is holding any type of weapon and can tell people's intentions by thier emotions.
Since they have been bred and used as war dogs and protection dogs they require a dedicated owner who has the time and resources to train them properly. If you're looking for a dog that is friendly to all strangers then maybe a Labrador retriever would work better for you. But if you're looking for a dog that is going to protect you at all costs, then a Cane Corso is the breed for you.
