Any guys have experience with Cane Corso?

Tourist
I'm a young guy (28) and im looking at possibly getting a puppy in the next year. I've always thought cane corsos were like the hottest dogs! I have experience with large dogs (Lab and GSDs) but ive hears the canes are just overall BIGGER. I can take quite a bit to be honest so i feel like it's just the right dog. Anyone have any first hand experience or stories they could share? Also any tips? haha
 
Yes, I own an XL mastiff/cane corso cross. She's female, and I have five other large/giant breed mixes who are all intact males. I can vouch that corsos, regardless of gender, are exceptionally well endowed. She is, in fact, the first female dog who has ever been able to.. ahem.. accommodate me all the way, with ease, in or out of estrus, in any position. And that's saying something, because all who came before her (even in heat, even if they had pups in the past) could not accomplish this feat. She stands alone in this regard. She is simply on a whole 'nother plane.

Beyond the bedroom, they're great dogs all around. Typical giant breeds, and typical mastiffs: vocal, confrontational guard-dog mentality to strangers, yet sweet as honey with owners and friends. Velcro dog, loyal to a fault; despite her advanced age, my corso girl is still the first one making it all the way up my (long) driveway, reaching my gate before the other (younger) dogs, to greet me and fawn all over me when I get home -- and then races the truck back down that same driveway to do it all again when I get out! Well-integrated with the rest of my pack and gets along with the males just fine. Tolerates cattle and equines; admittedly she does chase and run off my jack donk at every opportunity, but then he often instigates and antagonizes the dogs first, and she does this quasi-playfully, committing no harm. The only complaint? Lifespan. Be prepared to lose them early. Giant breeds don't tend to make it past the 8-10 mark. Apart from that, if the rest isn't a positive endorsement of the breed, I dunno what is.

Postscript -- you might want to adjust the title of your post. There's a user here who's adopted the breed as his name, and when I first saw it I thought you were asking for opinions about meeting @canecorso . And if that were so, I'd tell you he's awesome. We love canecorso around here. He's the shit. In fact, he's so awesome, that if I ever toured the country in retirement to write an anonymized biography of zoo history, culture, lore, and prominent figures, he'd be on my list of interviewees if he'd grant me the privilege.

Well I'd never have expected this kind of endorsement. I'm honored to say the least. Funny that you mention a zoo book, since I've been slowly inching towards putting one together myself.
I don't actually have a specific affiliation for the breed itself (I like them as a general "big dog", but never really had special preference), the user handle came from the breed name's rough translation from latin as "guardian dog".

Not yet(hoping one day) but I think they’re quite lovely. At least as pets.

Haha so what you're telling me is I should get a handsome cane corso pup and shuld introduce myself to this Zoo community legend ;)
 
I don’t recommend a corso to anyone who hasn’t worked with one or with a similar breed in size and temperament. If you’re 28 and have your shit together then maybe, slightly. As these dogs will, without a doubt require your full attention for a substantial amount of time. Not just because it’s a puppy. But because training and house order is in no way negotiable whatsoever. Protective and no nonsense breed that is now the holder of the most recorded fatalities in the US. That’s my 2 cents.

They can be. To YOU. Strangers are a different story depending on the line of dogs you get. Male and female plays into that as well.

Ahh understood, well thank you for the frank advice. I definitely need to think on this more. Could you recommend any good-tempered alternatives?
 
You don’t get a dog for this reason Cane Corso for size or appearance. They are strong powerful and may not be sociable with other dogs. Read all you can and if you get one do so with an established breeder and it won’t be cheap, They as most large breeds are also short lived 9 yrs give or take. Not saying they are bad no dog is if socialized correctly unless puppy milled. Do your research, also check your home owners or renters insurance as well as local regulations. More breeds than you may think have restrictions or regulations.

I had the privilege to meet three corso canes recently. The were much bigger than I expected and quite well behaved after their owner did introductions. These three were trained as protectors for the home, but if you were welcome, all they wanted was butt and ear scritches as well as to sit in your lap. It was an awesome experience.

when im on my knees, my cock is 22" from the ground.. would that line up well with a female cane corso from behind? im thinking of getting a cane corso pup, they so fucking beautiful. and i saw a picture of the litters mom from the owner... cane corso was standing in front of the TV wide stanced and you could see her pussy. not sure if she was even in heat but their beautiful dogs and have beautiful eyes too. would be such a lust filled marriage

That's the best part -- her and I don't need to worry about angles or being constrained to doggystyle-only. She can take me missionary with ease! I also have a left-hand curve to my erection, so laying on my side (left hip), driving into her while she's spead-eagle on her back, my left curve matches the 'upward' curve female dog vaginal canals take while that's inverted as she's upside down. We're perfect yin to yang on that one. Yes sir, her and I fit together very well ❤️

'Course, it also means I can't answer your question as I've never had occasion to need to resolve that height differential on my knees with her...
 
Going to toss my 2 cents in, I have a Presa canerio. Got her as I love the breed and big enough. That being said, presa,s or cane corsos. Need a very experienced owner. Lol she tests me daily. And... I got her at 6 weeks so my pup pup. I have zero interest in her that way. So before you get a pup. Think long and hard it's a long term commitment. You will not be able to rent, I just went through this trust me no one will rent you housing with a 120 lb dog. And with a dog that size again need to be very experienced with training.
 
I've got one and she's amazing. I got her at 3 years old and im pretty sure she was abused by previous owner. So I didn't have the chance to train her like I would have liked. She is the sweetest dog most days but like others have said she will still test me from time to time. They are big very powerful dogs so there are definitely precautions you have to take. Luckily my girl is great with humans but she is very dominant with other animals. I've got a rottweiler too and they have had their disagreements but thankfully only 1 real fight, luckily I was able to stop it and there were only minor injuries. Since then they are now fine with each other. Anyway back on topic, they are amazing dogs in my opinion, but you can not be afraid of them or at least show you are afraid. You have to be the alpha and they have to know it.
 
Love this forum. so many people generous with advice. I'm thinking about dog 8 - and this has given me a lot to think about. grateful for all the information. Of course I assume that everyone knows what Cane Corso translated from Latin means ... “Cane Corso” translates approximately to “bodyguard dog” or “robust dog.” And if you have more than one, you have Cani Corsi. So unless you are a competent dog owner, I guess we have to say cave canem!

Get a Boerboel instead. They are larger and sexier ;) Corsi are usually bite first, ask questions later. Boerboels use good judgment, typically, before becoming a liability. Both breeds have a lot of issues with dysplasia and heart issues in some breeding lines, unfortunately.

I hope you guys do write the book! Canecorsco....I would love to follow you on ZV!

I agree 100%. If the owner is not very alpha and know big strong breeds go with a English Mastiff or great dane.
 
I don't have first hand experience with sex with a Cane but I do have experience taking care of one. They're very energetic and temperamental dogs, so they need proper and strict training as well as plenty of space. They're also pretty expensive cause they eat a ton.
