American CC Association want to change the breed standard now to accommodate the horrendous breeding in the US. Americans have no idea how to breed CC. If they want Boxer, underbites, and other monstrosities, they should create a new breed, not infect and degrade the CC. Needless to say, I imported mine from Europe because the standard was terrible in the US.
Well said, They can do whatever they want, but every person who knows real Cane Corso knows it is a scissor bite only dog. If it has Boxer in it it is not Cane Corso, If it has Great Dane it is not Cane Corso, If it has South African Boer Boel it is not Cane Corso, If it has Any bull breed in it it is not Cane Corso. If it has Presa Canario it is not Cane Corso. Cane Corso is Molosser. Most breeders do not know the dog's history or genetic heritage. If they did they would know why the poor farmers of Italy who created the dog did not use Boxer or bull breeds. GGK9
Really cool video man! Just found your channel tonight and have only watched a couple videos. Have you made a video of who you consider to be the most honest traditional breeders? Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and passion about the Cane Corso 🤝
Jimmy Gunz, Thank you. I don't usually evaluate or recommend breeders. My intention is simply to share the facts with no fluff or hype. I will say though, most breeders if no all, are dishonest. Take care, GGK9
Damaris Tighe, Hi, What I think does not matter too much. What matters is whether or not they are Traditional Cane Corso, and the answer is NO, they are NOT, they are boxer crosses. Take care, Good Guardian K9
The old time Cane Corso gone long time ago, now a day, New Cane Corso make how it look like and we accept it, we live with it, we can not and we don't want to travel back to the time when the Real Cane Corso to bring it back. Please accept the New Cane Corso and live with it
Nguyên Giáp, Thank you for sharing your opinion. On the contrary, traditional Cane Corso still exist today. I will never accept the modern HYBRID/MONGREL/BANDOG over a REAL Cane Corso, and anyone who accepts the hybrid over a Traditional Cane Corso does not know what a traditional Cane Corso is. A true lover of the real Cane Corso WILL NEVER ACCEPT A HYBRID OVER THE TRADITIONAL CANE CORSO. The person whp does that does not know the difference between the two. Thanks for sharing, Good Guardian K9
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 The Real Cane Corso is the One go with History long time ago and by the time it gone with the History. Cane Corso changing like Human changing for living, only the Name can Exist. The Environments and Conditions of living changing, People changing their habit of living. Even Italian people changing too. Not the same with Italian People living 100 years or 1000 years before.
@@Spyrothedragon368, Thank you , I understand your point. I will say this, the conditions of life changes, the demand for the traditional dog is now much less, I do agree. But it is not the length of time passed and it is not the job the dogs do that determine If the dog is a real Cane Corso, it is the genetics. Genetics does not change in dogs or people, slight modification in things like features and size but you can still find breeders with traditional dogs. Not a lot left but you can still find. Especially in the deep rural farm areas of Italy. Same thing like the Central Asian breeds which are sibling breeds genetically to the Cane Corso (Molosser). Take care, Good Guardian K9
Most informative.So many should watch this video and reevaluate themseves and the real purpose of cane corso ownership.I was so honored when Ezio came into my life.I wish my mother was still living to see him.When her sister visited relatives in Italy several years prior I begged.her to.bring me obe of these magnificent dogs.Well that of course didnt.happen on the visit but as fate would havw it I was blessed with one.I was becoming a little disturbed as I watched and listened to many seemingingly trying to misinform others ro the corso look temperment ans overall purpose.You are a different individual keeping to the look and true reasoning of the breed.Yes these dogs.are naturally bodyguard s.They will not fail you.The true corso is not suppose to be so gigantic that the weight would slow them down.I also would like to comment on price and paperwork.A dog should not in my opi nion be judged on either or both.A person can find such treasures neatly tucked away in the backyard.The reason being many dont breed for profit.They breed instead for their extreme love of the corso.These people want healthy pups above all ti be by their side for years to come.They also are looking for dogs as close to their ancestors as possible.The true corso doesnt need a facelift Many will also see if toy are looking for an ultimate companion for years to come papers are of little importance if your dog doesnt reswmble the ancestor.To me yoy might want so you could see where
the ancesora.I hate to see thes truly magnificent noble dogs ruined.by misguided examples.You also can never judge an animal by the price.When a person sees a video such as yours and if they wabt a corso for the rifht reason that individual will know when they found one.And yes there is only one the Italuan Cane Corso.What a true treasure. Thank you so much for an honest informative video.and the beautiful corsos pictued .
I love when ppl state facts but yet never say who breeds traditional Corsos. It’s almost non existent to find 100% pure cane Corso. Yes they’re out tjeee but very far and few. Anyone who will make a video talking about it? But fails to put out the pure bred kennels is failing to put out the facts of where you can actually get a pure traditional corso.
Finding a pure traditional CC is like winning the lottery. Most of them have only a small percent of CC blood. They are more Neapolitan mastiffs, boxers,... it's a waste really. Breeders are destroying this amazing dog with mixing in other breeds.
Hi there, I really enjoyed this video. I have been researching this breed/type of dog for a few years and have been trying to find a true cane corso breeder. Do you have any suggestions for breeders in the USA or Canada
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 i would love to pick your brain a bit as well. Sorry Tony Tina not trying to stomp on your toes or anything like you i was watching this wondering who he might know as well. Cheers to you all.
As Italian, living in Italy and lover of the true Cane Corso, I'm really astonished of this video. The professionality shown and the true understanding of this fantastic breed is really at the top among the several documentaries I've ever seen. There is only one way to resolve the problem of unfaithful breeders, the way is the pubblicity of the correct breeders, pratically everione that knows who is the breeder that breed correct blood lines, should make pubblicity in all specialized forums and groups. I'm particularly sensible to this matter, as I've had a cane corso, and now I'm looking to buy another, but it is really difficult for me to find one. Please whoever knows where to find a true cane corso, please let me know by answering to this comment, I'll really appreciate it.
Gerardo Romano, Thank you for your kind comments, There is a part #2 & #3 which will be available in my online soon. This way only those who are really interested and really appreciate the traditional Cane Corso will have access to those videos, not people who want to argue online. Part #2 & #3 will be for sale in my online store soon. They are packed with detail and history. I will touch base with a few breeders in Italy and see how I can help you. Take care, Good Guardian K9
Se vedi negli annunci in Puglia di vendita o addirittura adozioni del vero cane corso,qualche settimana fa,a Ruvo di Puglia vendevano cuccioli a 50euro,chiaramente dei privati e non allevatori
Very good, Not sure of your special thanks ending though. I've read a good deal, including in Italian documentation over nearly a years time and your video hit major points plus informed me on a few others . Would have been much better if between each writing were a photo of a classical looking Type. My Intention is to get to Sicily and with cousins already on the look out for breeders or farmers more specifically , to find a classic type or two. With any luck I can locate and bring one or two back by about this time next year.
Vincent Licitra, Thank you for the respectful comments. I do teach, but every wise teacher will admit to being a student always, except for GOD HIMSELF. I am working on a part two so I will think through any suggestion that will be of good benefit to all who are genuinely interested in Cane Corso. What at the end are you in disagreement with? I can clarify. Everyone I thank at the end are deserving of thanks for their contributions to the traditional Cane Corso. I thank each person for the AREAS OF GOOD they have done in the breed. I choose not to judge the entire life of these people based on the mistakes they have made at different points in their life. All men make mistakes, past and present. Some are public and some are hidden from men, for now, but God sees all. I am presently working on part #2 coming soon. It will be interesting to know what you find in Italy. I hope you are successful. As Thank you so much for your words, GGK9
Hello from France! So cool your approach about this fantastic breed is very respectfull and i can see your love for them! thanks a lot for the research and the Cané Corso's origins , have fun with your dogs like me with mine, friendly Raphaël
Isnt rottweiler also molosser type dog? Descended from ancient Rome mastiff type? My puppy is rottweiler cane corso mix, but she has full black coat with tan feet chest and eyebrows and looks like pure rottweiler. I think it's because they are similar breed already
Aнна Кузнецова🇺🇦, Yes you are correct, the rottweiler is genetically from Roman Molosser foundation. However, the ancient rottweiler type did not look like this modern reconstruction (rottweiler). Very good, you are one of the few people who seem to know that.
Do you have any suggestions if i want to find a real traditional cane corso?, Have been looking for a long time, the closest i come is cane the presa. Thanks for a good video.
Find a certified breeder in the Puglia region in Italy that have pedigreed Cane Corso. Do not take the American Cane Corso ar not pure, they are bigger than the Italian ones cause fraudolent breeders mixed it with other breeds as Boxers mostly, and for that they have a lot more healt issue than the pure Cane Corso. If you ron't find a Corso a Cane da Presa Meridionale will be a great replacement, it comes from the same family three (Cane Corso, Cane da presa meridionale and Mastino Napoletano are all genetically related).
@@solinvictus1234 Thanks for the tips, a Cane de presa with good quality i have been looking for for longtime. The problem is that most of the breeders today with most of the breeds, they breeding for show and destroy the dogs they should be breed for their working purpose.

I have a reputable breeder who still has the Traditional Cane corso’s. He’s been breeding for over 40 yrs. But has been breeding cane Corso’s since 1992. He DEFINITELY has the traditional cane Corso’s and they are beautiful. I have other corso breeders that tell me don’t buy from him because that look is played out or no one wants a traditional cane Corso’s these days , they’re not “extravagant “ but I’m finna buy a female off him real soon. That’s exactly why I’m doing my homework on them now.
If I’m not mistaken, Sotilli said that his dogs were mixed with Rottweiler? And Basir was a product of Breber, and Breber, being against the boxer mix and undershot jaw, which Bassir had both
Babak boxer traits? let me ask you how many people in the Italian countryside of that time could afford a purebred dog? they bred what worked and people who breed for work will tell you the dogs will not look like show bred clone dogs.There are alot of dogtypes that look abit similair depending on were they love and what work they were used to do.Function follows form.and YES there are American corsos:scillian origin mixed with other breeds to create bigger dogs ,more aggressive and with scissors bite .

@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 well if you like.to me show dogs today in my country does not look like proper corsos and the big bullmastiff american types are not corsos either they are mixed breeds.you can give yourself a pat in the back for kknowing what a true corso is,good for you.Funny guy
Form follows function. The way a breed of dog looks (form) is molded by the purpose (function) that the breed was bred for. A breed that's centered around a function will consist of dogs that have a larger variation in appearance. Compared to a breed that's centered around a strict confirmation standard, that will consist of dogs that have a more uniform appearance. Form follows function. Look at the American pit bull terrier. 7XW Zebo was a 42-pound dog. Gr Ch Mayday was over 70 pounds. Some apbt are short stocky dogs with block heads, and others are long-legged lean dogs with narrow heads. The ADBA breed standard allows dogs to weigh anywhere from 35 pounds to 75 pounds and come in a range of shapes and colors, as where the AKC AMSTAFF is more uniform in weight, shape, and nose color.
I am personally into all animals being able to do what it was designed to do by nature. I also personally think that whom ever thought it isn't right or bad to fight dogs are stupid. We rather allow to humans to fight & mane each other than allowing dogs to fight. Funny thing is all the people that stopped dog fight aren't going out and stopping lions from killing gazelles etc etc.. we keep lions tigers in zoos and those animals look like they are very unhappy. Hell the zoo should at least allow the tigers to kill there food instead of feeding it raw meat that us humans killed.. thank you for ya video keep making good content..
I bought a “Cane Corso” of an AKC breed type. I went through an extensive health check and breed type with the breeder. The health check, breed type, hip score was literally off the charts. This pup has the very “cat like” presence and scissor mouth as prescribed. His guardian like ability and overall presence is all that could ask for in a friend. Head, withers and hocks are on point. If he is a true Cane Corso or not, he meets all of my wants for the “prescribed” breed. Love him to death!
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 How do you feel about Bruce Wayne? How does he measure to the breed standard? I’m only curious because he has a very majestic quality. My pups father looks very similar but bias to his corrected mussel and body type. Massimo, (Pup’s name) has the corrections I was looking for when bread with his mother. She has the “old world” attributes that I adore.
@@frankprovinoiii7882 I try not to give public opinions on other persones dogs on social media, unless it is the owner of that dog asking me directly. To help you to determine whether or not any dog is the breed its owner say it is, simply measure the dog against the TRADITIONAL STANDARD FOR THAT BREED. For me personally, I am not impressed with the "NICE LOOKS" of any dog, that is a show dog person's mind set, and history has shown how the shows destroys breed after breed of the best working dogs. And leave only a pretty shell of what they once were. I stay close to the closest thing to the wild/natural, that is the TRADITIONAL WORKING DOG. In short, only 2 things interest me in dogs #1- Is it the traditional breed, is it real? #2 - Does it do what it was bred to do? Does it work? I hope my little book here make sense to you.

I'm a first time Cane Corso owner my boy Riley Jo is supposed to be the same blood line that was first brought to the United States i can't swear that's true but that's what I was told from the guy i got him from he's 14 months old weighs 110 pounds he's built like a horse his muscles are ripped this guy can jump let you he's so athletic definitely my favorite dog breed hand's down he's my best friend!
@@nighthawk0889 that's definitely not true both of my Corsos parents are have papers and not every Corso gets to 130+ pounds because there's so many things that comes into place for example bone density my Corso is pushing 120 pounds which is just a little bit above average and yes I've seen people's Corsos that are 150 pounds but not every single Corso will get that size for one thing Cane Corsos are the smallest mastiff breed if I'm not mistaken and the average weight for a Cane Corso is between 80-110 pounds. Do you own a Cane Corso? Have you ever seen a Cane Corso and I'm not talking about on videos i mean have you ever seen one in real life 🤔?
Very nice pieces of informations, thanks for the video. didn't mike sottile said that his corso were hybrids and crossed, or maybe the special thanks are ironical.
Some people that have the cane Corso boxer type of dogs tell me my dog isn't from a good cane Corso bloodline. I know better thou. He is definitely a utility farm dog. Always keeping watch. Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed it. So much to learn about Cane Corso
Cynthia Weber, Glad you liked the video. The culture of the Italian people will tell you what the traditional dog is, because it is the life style of the people that required that type of dog. The hybrid was not a dog bred based on the daily demands of the people, it was bred based on what is acceptable in a dog show and quicker to make money on. Naturally the traditional dog would not qualify, because mostly poor farmers needed them. Plus they were too aggressive for dog shows, they were wolf killers and killers of any other animal that would try to invade the farm. They were not bred for conformation, they were bred for work. The real Cane Corso is an Italian working molosser dog. If you have a traditional Cane Corso, hold on to it, you have a real piece of history. Hope that is clear. Take care, GGK9
Imo the c.c of old working lined would of looked like the Scott type bulldogs but different color,,with no drooling ,tight muscular bodies could work all day with no breathing problems, all that came when other outsiders mixed in neo mastiff blood
Yes imo too many good old breeds have been ruined because of mixing other breeds like the Corso when it got popular in the states they mixed boxer into this breed to calm it down and be more of a friendly dog lol so straight away they've spoiled hundreds of years making this breed what it is only for silly breeders to mix in boxer lol the c.c should be able to work on a farm and do all the jobs a farmer wants and then at night he's a brilliant guard dog, courageous, strong, determined, and wary of strangers now the breed in America is just a playful happy dog ,but there are some breeders that want and are breeding for the old c.c with all the characters I've mentioned in there dogs, it's not only this breed that's been spoiled there's too many to mention here.. anyway good luck
Nice vid I chose a cc from scriptures rather than 2days standards at 9 months am really happy with him am not saying av got 100% dog but he fits the scripter more than most he's a really smart dog and very aware of his surroundings 👍 and no drooling upto now 🤣
zeus_the_cane, That is great. First let me say, just because a dog drools does not mean it is not Cane Corso, It could simply be pure, but not balanced in breeding, as many breeders are more focused on money rather than breeding correct dogs. The dog could simply be bred a bit too heavy on the mastiff side but still pure Cane Corso. It is ideal to get the old stock traditional Coursing Dog that does not drool at all, but it is not the drooling that determines what is or is not pure Cane Corso. That must be clear. I hope you understand my point. Enjoy your dog my friend.
I lived in Sicily for 3years...I brang 1 back from there while serving in military as a dog handler... I'm interested to know if I we can correspond so I can get another..from the source..My first Cane came from Ragusa and I only want one from where they originate from.
Cedric Dixon. As I have stated in the video his dogs are not available to the public. He breeds only to preserve the dogs, not for sale. Thank you for asking, Good Guardian K9
Please produce more accurate and very informative information on the cane corso.Your video was fantastic.Knowledge is most needed To many videis are being made not representing these beloved dogs.In my opinion this is the only way to deflect misinformation and misrepresentation.So many are claiming to own them and these individuals cause many falsehoods about such magestic dogs
Very informative video 👍 Same thing is happening with Bully kutta...Old traditional bully kuttas are very very rare to see now a days.. People's are blindly running behind 34 inches tall hybrid dogs..👎
So where can I find a traditional Italian cane corso breeder to speak to about acquiring puppies.? I live all the way in the Caribbean in Trinidad and Tobago.
Marlon Goden, How are you? Sad to say, the few breeders that have traditional Cane corso, I don't have confidence in them to deal with you honestly. Especially since you do not live close where you can go and demand your money back if you are not satisfied. Because of that i will not recommend any breeder. It has been my sxperience, with these breeders. It seems they care more about money than other people, or even the dogs they breed. I hope you understand. GGK9
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 I absolutely understand. 99.% of breeders all over the world care more about the money .in my country as well. Saw a video of a guy that did a DNA test of his dogs (Italian mastiff) in the USA and found that coming from cocomo and Rocco's bloodline there was rottweiler neoploitan mastiff and some type of terrier blood in there as well. The best of them are liars. I know the heart of men is desperately wicked the bible says so I understand. I will move completely away from the breed .I like mastiffs but I don't want anything else mixed with it you know. I'll search around for mastiff that hasn't been modernized or made show worthy. Thanks for your video again.
@@marlongoden3871 If you are interested in old school Presa Canario, not these hyprid heavy bandogs that they are calling Presa, let me know. I have a friend who is a preserver of the traditional old Spanish mastiff strain (Presa Canario).
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 ok ok send me some pics and videos....let me see if I like . I was leaning more on the side of the Kurdish mastiff though. Something like that ...closer to their native land...probably there are some pure lines still existing today.
. If you’re a farmer in Italy, you’re doing pretty good. Kind of like people say farmers are poor in the United States but I’m a small farmer I’m not poor it’s not a big one. we live in a small house, but we are very comfortable and love our life, but I would not consider us poor.
Adam Everett, Thank you for the defensive comment. If you find the term "POOR FARMER" to be an insult you've missed the point. First, you are not from the past Italian history and culture, you are a MODERN FARMER if you are actually a farmer in Italy now. Second, What amount of money does a person need to have or not have to be considered poor? Third, The video is speaking of facts of Italian history, not my opinion. Forth, the history and culture of Italy reflects the early stages of Italian farm dogs (Cane Corso), it was the poor people who developed the dogs and fine tuned them, through breeding on their farms. You can simply research this fact by looking at the 11th century to the 19th century. Nothing like a person who does not understand historical documentations but wants to argue it. Fifth, being poor is not an insult, it is not a disease, and it is not a sin. Majority of the people in the world are poor people, that is world statistics/fact/truth. Anyone can be classified as poor when compared to someone who has more, I have money but I am poor, when compared to those who are richer. Humility and truth is superior to money. If you are actually an Italian farmer, that is great. Do not be ashamed of your history, it is history. Thank you for commenting, Good Guardian K9
What proof do have Boxer was used, Babak and Bazir don’t have obvious Boxer traits at all, and seeing how the boxer comes from The corso what does that even prove?
Basir and his litter mates was Taylor made for.the dog show. Like Breber said there was better dogs. They picked the best from what they had. He never wanted the breed to be based on that litter. Was just a starting point.
Ryan Malone, Hi, KIND meaning SAME BREED (Traditional Cane Corso). TYPE, meaning various appearance to the same breed of dog. For example some Corso have a longer muzzle, wedged head and a more atheletic body. Some have brick heads, heavy molosser type body But both types are still the same (traditional Cane Corso) same kind. If they are actually pure TCC. Hope that helps to make things a bit simpler. GGK9
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 maybe I should have clarified that I was joking. It was so obvious and you said it so many times like a mantra, that I was just taking the piss. It’s not hard to comprehend. I have an Italian Corso by the way.
I've had cane corso's for years and I avoid all other cane corso owners/ people who think they know about them like the plague because every single one believes they are the manager of cane corsos and either belittles and ridicules everything everyone else does or says about them...(which is fine because they all do it to eachother) or spends hours making content or bashing every picture every other owners posts of their dog telling them its not a "real" cane corso. It's extremely bizarre.. I didn't realize it until the last few years but it's like people over the last 4 years have realized these dogs exist, got one and became the president of the fan club.. and nobody else has one or knows anything about them except that person who just realized they exist a few years ago 😂... It's soooo weird. I was actually planning to start breeding but I thought about it and decided against it because I didn't want to contribute in creating more cane corso Karen's lol. I don't know if its because it was an unpopular breed until a few years ago and everyone wants to pretend like they have always had them or something, or if this breed just attracts a special kind of person but aside from TH-cam, go to any Facebook group, any dog groups, any fourms and you will see every cane corso owner bashing and trying to one up eachother lol

The people who kept and used the CC were livestock owners who were not poor. The CC is expensive to keep, poor people could not afford it. The breed was not created but preserved through the centuries. The type has always been there; it was not created by "backyard breeders". It was the big landowners who had the breeding stock and they gave their dogs to keep to their tenants. Big landowners who did this have disappeared so that the the dogs that were found in the 1970s were the ones kept by their one-time tenants. Basir was not a Boxer cross; he was bred from my dogs and I have always condemned the undershot jaw. The Boxer blood was introduced through a Boxer mutt to the name of Otello by the Italian Kennel Club people and that is how the undershot jaw found its way into the Italian Kennel Club and therefore registered show dog standard.
@paolobreber4512 - Hi Thank you for the response. Many of you seem to have an issue with this word POOR, you seem to suggest that all livestock owners who populated the Cane Corso breed were wealthy, that is simply not correct. Multiple historical proof by photos and short scripts to refute that. Or, we must be speaking of two different countries called Italy. Before I continue further I would need to certify that you are actually PAOLO BREBER. I have been trying to connect with you for quite some time now. Please contact me on Instagram @goodguardiank9workingdog or Facebook @GoodGuardian Knine - If this is Breber we should speak, it would be an insightful dialog. Thank you, Good GK9WD
So the Germans send crappy boxer to Italy but the Italians sent good dog to USA and Canada. That's a joke. By the way, a tradicional italian farmer has nothing to do with a backyard breeder, and at least you could have shown a few picks comparing the so call real cane corso and the let's say commercial one.
@maximumbull1 _ Thank you for sharing. I am not sure if you are responding with the English lesson because you are a DOG SHOW PERSON, It is interesting to find those persons are always offended by information on the traditional Italian Cane Corso. Still, that is expected, as no real Cane Corso lover or breeder can justify having real Cane Corso/traditional Cane Corso in a dog show. BUT, TO YOUR POINT! In context, "KIND" is being used here to differentiate breed types in task/function and genetic makeup. Once the etymology of the word KIND is established and understood, then the word KIND can be used interchangeably with type, to communicate or indicate similarities or differences between TYPES, meaning, in this case BREED OF DOGS. "KIND" the noun, here in context - meaning, a group of animals having similar characteristics, the animals here being DOGS. I certainly hope you have learned something about the traditional Cane Corso and not just how the word KIND can be used. I did take the time to examine the dogs on your channel in the DOG SHOWS. Nice dogs but HYBRIDS (not traditional Cane Corso). Am sure you already knew that to be factual. Why else would you ignore the main subject of the video (The Traditional Italian Cane Corso) to make an attempt to conduct a class in the English language? I certainly hope you found something of good benefit relating directly to the traditional Cane Corso info in the content content. Thank you for sharing. Take care, Good Guardian K9

Hi I’m here in Italy just got me a cane corso from a breeder here in Tuscany I did my research before I went to this breeder he seem pretty knowledgeable he has many awards from around Europe for he’s cane corsos he’s kennel is nice how do you know are you an expert of a breeder just asking are you Italian to know this ????
@douglashernandez826 - It is great that you got a Cane Corso, that must be exciting with a new pup. I am not sure why you ask - "how do you know are you an expert of a breeder just asking are you Italian to know this ????" As if being Italian would qualify me some how as an expert on the Cane Corso - But, Since YOUR NAME IS LATINA BY TRADITION, I will ask you this question and I hope my point is made - The tomato by tradition is originally native to western South America and Central America. IN THE 1500s THE TOMATO WAS INTRODUCED TO ITALY AND ALL OF EUROPE BY A LATINA (Cortez). Does this mean Italians know nothing about tomatoes???? OR, What makes being Italian the authority or the only expert on tomatoes or sauce made from tomatoes? Should I assume that if you are not from Spain you have no understanding of the Spanish language? THE CANE CORSO IS A TRADITIONAL WORKING DOG! What are the many awards that a knowledgeable breeder of REAL CANE CORSO could be getting if not from a DOG SHOW? As you may know, REALL CANE CORSO DO NOT BELONG IN A DOG SHOW, and no breeder who loves the breed and have good knowledge of the Cane Corso would breed them for dog shows. The Cane Corso is an aloof dog, you would have to compromise the Cane Corso's temperament in order to qualify it for dog shows, or breed the HYBRID/BOXER CROSS. Take a look at your pedigree, if it traces back to BASIR you do not have a Cane Corso, you have a hybrid. Whether I am Italian or not is not important. My skin color is also not important in determine what is a Cane Corso either. I AM STATING THIS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RACIST. I am not accusing you of such a thing, but it is necessary to state this because you will not be the only one reading my response. Whether I am a breeder or not is also not important. My expertise is not a bragging right. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE INFORMATION, IS IT TRUTH OR NOT, WHETHER THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT OR NOT.

@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 well thank you for your response but yes been Italian and having a kennel I would believe you would follow the breed since it’s origins I wouldn’t expect someone from Latin America or African black or American 🇺🇸 to tell me about a traditional pet bird ect from other than their own countries you get me I rather get for example a dogo argentino from a breeder in angentina than a breeder outside of argentina my point
@@douglashernandez826 - Most interesting points you make, I disagree. Many people think the way you do but you are all in error. The country a person comes from or their skin color never qualifies them as an expert on Cane Corso. Still, let us put the way you thing to the test. Please send me photos or video of your dog, send me the kennel your dog comes from, I will evaluate them both based on the traditional standard for Cane Corso. If the dogs are hybrids I will identify these traits clearly, so you can also identify them for yourself. If the dogs are authentic traditional Cane Corso I will state that clearly as well. If you refuse this simple test, then please enjoy your dog and take care, Good Guardian K9
Grazie, per questo bel video e per il rispetto della cultura contadina che ha creato, questa fantastica razza.

Rachel Raja, Hi, Am glad you found the video informative and enjoyed it. Take care, Good Guardian K9
American CC Association want to change the breed standard now to accommodate the horrendous breeding in the US. Americans have no idea how to breed CC. If they want Boxer, underbites, and other monstrosities, they should create a new breed, not infect and degrade the CC. Needless to say, I imported mine from Europe because the standard was terrible in the US.
Well said, They can do whatever they want, but every person who knows real Cane Corso knows it is a scissor bite only dog. If it has Boxer in it it is not Cane Corso, If it has Great Dane it is not Cane Corso, If it has South African Boer Boel it is not Cane Corso, If it has Any bull breed in it it is not Cane Corso. If it has Presa Canario it is not Cane Corso. Cane Corso is Molosser. Most breeders do not know the dog's history or genetic heritage. If they did they would know why the poor farmers of Italy who created the dog did not use Boxer or bull breeds. GGK9
Excellent and informative video!
Really cool video man! Just found your channel tonight and have only watched a couple videos. Have you made a video of who you consider to be the most honest traditional breeders? Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and passion about the Cane Corso 🤝

Nguyên Giáp, Thank you for sharing your opinion. On the contrary, traditional Cane Corso still exist today. I will never accept the modern HYBRID/MONGREL/BANDOG over a REAL Cane Corso, and anyone who accepts the hybrid over a Traditional Cane Corso does not know what a traditional Cane Corso is. A true lover of the real Cane Corso WILL NEVER ACCEPT A HYBRID OVER THE TRADITIONAL CANE CORSO. The person whp does that does not know the difference between the two.

Even Italian people changing too. Not the same with Italian People living 100 years or 1000 years before.
@@Spyrothedragon368, Thank you , I understand your point. I will say this, the conditions of life changes, the demand for the traditional dog is now much less, I do agree. But it is not the length of time passed and it is not the job the dogs do that determine If the dog is a real Cane Corso, it is the genetics. Genetics does not change in dogs or people, slight modification in things like features and size but you can still find breeders with traditional dogs. Not a lot left but you can still find. Especially in the deep rural farm areas of Italy. Same thing like the Central Asian breeds which are sibling breeds genetically to the Cane Corso (Molosser). Take care, Good Guardian K9

Most informative.So many should watch this video and reevaluate themseves and the real purpose of cane corso ownership.I was so honored when Ezio came into my life.I wish my mother was still living to see him.When her sister visited relatives in Italy several years prior I begged.her to.bring me obe of these magnificent dogs.Well that of course didnt.happen on the visit but as fate would havw it I was blessed with one.I was becoming a little disturbed as I watched and listened to many seemingingly trying to misinform others ro the corso look temperment ans overall purpose.You are a different individual keeping to the look and true reasoning of the breed.Yes these dogs.are naturally bodyguard s.They will not fail you.The true corso is not suppose to be so gigantic that the weight would slow them down.I also would like to comment on price and paperwork.A dog should not in my opi nion be judged on either or both.A person can find such treasures neatly tucked away in the backyard.The reason being many dont breed for profit.They breed instead for their extreme love of the corso.These people want healthy pups above all ti be by their side for years to come.They also are looking for dogs as close to their ancestors as possible.The true corso doesnt need a facelift Many will also see if toy are looking for an ultimate companion for years to come papers are of little importance if your dog doesnt reswmble the ancestor.To me yoy might want so you could see where
the ancesora.I hate to see thes truly magnificent noble dogs ruined.by misguided examples.You also can never judge an animal by the price.When a person sees a video such as yours and if they wabt a corso for the rifht reason that individual will know when they found one.And yes there is only one the Italuan Cane Corso.What a true treasure. Thank you so much for an honest informative video.and the beautiful corsos pictued .
I love when ppl state facts but yet never say who breeds traditional Corsos. It’s almost non existent to find 100% pure cane Corso. Yes they’re out tjeee but very far and few. Anyone who will make a video talking about it? But fails to put out the pure bred kennels is failing to put out the facts of where you can actually get a pure traditional corso.
Finding a pure traditional CC is like winning the lottery. Most of them have only a small percent of CC blood. They are more Neapolitan mastiffs, boxers,... it's a waste really. Breeders are destroying this amazing dog with mixing in other breeds.
are you familiar with the Molossi IX-Legio Kennel? Which CC breeder in Italy do you recommend?

As Italian, living in Italy and lover of the true Cane Corso, I'm really astonished of this video. The professionality shown and the true understanding of this fantastic breed is really at the top among the several documentaries I've ever seen.
There is only one way to resolve the problem of unfaithful breeders, the way is the pubblicity of the correct breeders, pratically everione that knows who is the breeder that breed correct blood lines, should make pubblicity in all specialized forums and groups. I'm particularly sensible to this matter, as I've had a cane corso, and now I'm looking to buy another, but it is really difficult for me to find one. Please whoever knows where to find a true cane corso, please let me know by answering to this comment, I'll really appreciate it.

I've read a good deal, including in Italian documentation over nearly a years time and your video hit major points plus informed me on a few others . Would have been much better if between each writing were a photo of a classical looking Type.

I thank each person for the AREAS OF GOOD they have done in the breed. I choose not to judge the entire life of these people based on the mistakes they have made at different points in their life.

It will be interesting to know what you find in Italy. I hope you are successful. As Thank you so much for your words, GGK9

Find a certified breeder in the Puglia region in Italy that have pedigreed Cane Corso.
Do not take the American Cane Corso ar not pure, they are bigger than the Italian ones cause fraudolent breeders mixed it with other breeds as Boxers mostly, and for that they have a lot more healt issue than the pure Cane Corso.
If you ron't find a Corso a Cane da Presa Meridionale will be a great replacement, it comes from the same family three (Cane Corso, Cane da presa meridionale and Mastino Napoletano are all genetically related).

He DEFINITELY has the traditional cane Corso’s and they are beautiful.

If I’m not mistaken, Sotilli said that his dogs were mixed with Rottweiler?
And Basir was a product of Breber, and Breber, being against the boxer mix and

Babak boxer traits? let me ask you how many people in the Italian countryside of that time could afford a purebred dog? they bred what worked and people who breed for work will tell you the dogs will not look like show bred clone dogs.There are alot of dogtypes that look abit similair depending on were they love and what work they were used to do.Function follows form.and YES there are American corsos:scillian origin mixed with other breeds to create bigger dogs ,more aggressive and with scissors bite .
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 webbed feet why is that important.? the head is the most important trait of a dog.and size too.Things that has changed in the corso .bigger dogs,more aggressive dogs,boxer or bullmastiff looks or other exaggerated looks.No FUNCTION follows form.the dog looks what is was bred to do.But now people breed to what they like and the dogs look thereafter.bad health follows.big slobber looking fleshy meat jowls is not a corso.Its a bullmastiff type of dog im
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 well if you like.to me show dogs today in my country does not look like proper corsos and the big bullmastiff american types are not corsos either they are mixed breeds.you can give yourself a pat in the back for kknowing what a true corso is,good for you.Funny guy
Form follows function.
The way a breed of dog looks (form) is molded by the purpose (function) that the breed was bred for.
A breed that's centered around a function will consist of dogs that have a larger variation in appearance. Compared to a breed that's centered around a strict confirmation standard, that will consist of dogs that have a more uniform appearance.
Form follows function.
Look at the American pit bull terrier. 7XW Zebo was a 42-pound dog. Gr Ch Mayday was over 70 pounds.
Some apbt are short stocky dogs with block heads, and others are long-legged lean dogs with narrow heads.
The ADBA breed standard allows dogs to weigh anywhere from 35 pounds to 75 pounds and come in a range of shapes and colors, as where the AKC AMSTAFF is more uniform in weight, shape, and nose color.
Beautiful creatures. Prefer them with their ears and tail el natural!!
I am personally into all animals being able to do what it was designed to do by nature. I also personally think that whom ever thought it isn't right or bad to fight dogs are stupid. We rather allow to humans to fight & mane each other than allowing dogs to fight. Funny thing is all the people that stopped dog fight aren't going out and stopping lions from killing gazelles etc etc.. we keep lions tigers in zoos and those animals look like they are very unhappy. Hell the zoo should at least allow the tigers to kill there food instead of feeding it raw meat that us humans killed.. thank you for ya video keep making good content..
I bought a “Cane Corso” of an AKC breed type. I went through an extensive health check and breed type with the breeder. The health check, breed type, hip score was literally off the charts. This pup has the very “cat like” presence and scissor mouth as prescribed. His guardian like ability and overall presence is all that could ask for in a friend. Head, withers and hocks are on point. If he is a true Cane Corso or not, he meets all of my wants for the “prescribed” breed. Love him to death!
Frank ProvinoIII, That is great. I would love to see it and know the breeder.
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 How do you feel about Bruce Wayne? How does he measure to the breed standard? I’m only curious because he has a very majestic quality. My pups father looks very similar but bias to his corrected mussel and body type. Massimo, (Pup’s name) has the corrections I was looking for when bread with his mother. She has the “old world” attributes that I adore.
@@frankprovinoiii7882 I try not to give public opinions on other persones dogs on social media, unless it is the owner of that dog asking me directly. To help you to determine whether or not any dog is the breed its owner say it is, simply measure the dog against the TRADITIONAL STANDARD FOR THAT BREED. For me personally, I am not impressed with the "NICE LOOKS" of any dog, that is a show dog person's mind set, and history has shown how the shows destroys breed after breed of the best working dogs. And leave only a pretty shell of what they once were. I stay close to the closest thing to the wild/natural, that is the TRADITIONAL WORKING DOG.
In short, only 2 things interest me in dogs #1- Is it the traditional breed, is it real? #2 - Does it do what it was bred to do? Does it work? I hope my little book here make sense to you.

@@nighthawk0889 that's definitely not true both of my Corsos parents are have papers and not every Corso gets to 130+ pounds because there's so many things that comes into place for example bone density my Corso is pushing 120 pounds which is just a little bit above average and yes I've seen people's Corsos that are 150 pounds but not every single Corso will get that size for one thing Cane Corsos are the smallest mastiff breed if I'm not mistaken and the average weight for a Cane Corso is between 80-110 pounds. Do you own a Cane Corso? Have you ever seen a Cane Corso and I'm not talking about on videos i mean have you ever seen one in real life 🤔?

Very nice pieces of informations, thanks for the video. didn't mike sottile said that his corso were hybrids and crossed, or maybe the special thanks are ironical.
Some people that have the cane Corso boxer type of dogs tell me my dog isn't from a good cane Corso bloodline. I know better thou. He is definitely a utility farm dog. Always keeping watch. Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed it. So much to learn about Cane Corso
Cynthia Weber, Glad you liked the video. The culture of the Italian people will tell you what the traditional dog is, because it is the life style of the people that required that type of dog. The hybrid was not a dog bred based on the daily demands of the people, it was bred based on what is acceptable in a dog show and quicker to make money on. Naturally the traditional dog would not qualify, because mostly poor farmers needed them. Plus they were too aggressive for dog shows, they were wolf killers and killers of any other animal that would try to invade the farm. They were not bred for conformation, they were bred for work. The real Cane Corso is an Italian working molosser dog. If you have a traditional Cane Corso, hold on to it, you have a real piece of history. Hope that is clear. Take care, GGK9
Trust me your dog is moreso than their dog
The boxer breed was destroyed itself. Look at difference between boxer today versus 40+ years ago. Last thing you want is modern boxer mixed in.
@@grizzlycountry1030 I know some enthusiast that's bringing the Corso back

Imo the c.c of old working lined would of looked like the Scott type bulldogs but different color,,with no drooling ,tight muscular bodies could work all day with no breathing problems, all that came when other outsiders mixed in neo mastiff blood
Makes sense and logical what you said there
Yes imo too many good old breeds have been ruined because of mixing other breeds like the Corso when it got popular in the states they mixed boxer into this breed to calm it down and be more of a friendly dog lol so straight away they've spoiled hundreds of years making this breed what it is only for silly breeders to mix in boxer lol the c.c should be able to work on a farm and do all the jobs a farmer wants and then at night he's a brilliant guard dog, courageous, strong, determined, and wary of strangers now the breed in America is just a playful happy dog ,but there are some breeders that want and are breeding for the old c.c with all the characters I've mentioned in there dogs, it's not only this breed that's been spoiled there's too many to mention here.. anyway good luck
That's a lot of mixed breed dogs.
love them i have a female
Nice vid I chose a cc from scriptures rather than 2days standards at 9 months am really happy with him am not saying av got 100% dog but he fits the scripter more than most he's a really smart dog and very aware of his surroundings 👍 and no drooling upto now 🤣
zeus_the_cane, That is great. First let me say, just because a dog drools does not mean it is not Cane Corso, It could simply be pure, but not balanced in breeding, as many breeders are more focused on money rather than breeding correct dogs. The dog could simply be bred a bit too heavy on the mastiff side but still pure Cane Corso. It is ideal to get the old stock traditional Coursing Dog that does not drool at all, but it is not the drooling that determines what is or is not pure Cane Corso. That must be clear. I hope you understand my point. Enjoy your dog my friend.
the question is where to get the traditional cane corso?
In Italy Puglia regione you find real Cane Curz Corso
So, do you have a picture of a real corso?
I lived in Sicily for 3years...I brang 1 back from there while serving in military as a dog handler... I'm interested to know if I we can correspond so I can get another..from the source..My first Cane came from Ragusa and I only want one from where they originate from.
Cedric Dixon. As I have stated in the video his dogs are not available to the public. He breeds only to preserve the dogs, not for sale. Thank you for asking, Good Guardian K9
So who has authentic molosser dogs present day is my next question
Please produce more accurate and very informative information on the cane corso.Your video was fantastic.Knowledge is most needed To many videis are being made not representing these beloved dogs.In my opinion this is the only way to deflect misinformation and misrepresentation.So many are claiming to own them and these individuals cause many falsehoods about such magestic dogs

Marlon Goden, How are you? Sad to say, the few breeders that have traditional Cane corso, I don't have confidence in them to deal with you honestly. Especially since you do not live close where you can go and demand your money back if you are not satisfied. Because of that i will not recommend any breeder. It has been my sxperience, with these breeders. It seems they care more about money than other people, or even the dogs they breed. I hope you understand. GGK9
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 I absolutely understand. 99.% of breeders all over the world care more about the money .in my country as well. Saw a video of a guy that did a DNA test of his dogs (Italian mastiff) in the USA and found that coming from cocomo and Rocco's bloodline there was rottweiler neoploitan mastiff and some type of terrier blood in there as well. The best of them are liars. I know the heart of men is desperately wicked the bible says so I understand.

. If you’re a farmer in Italy, you’re doing pretty good. Kind of like people say farmers are poor in the United States but I’m a small farmer I’m not poor it’s not a big one. we live in a small house, but we are very comfortable and love our life, but I would not consider us poor.
Adam Everett, Thank you for the defensive comment. If you find the term "POOR FARMER" to be an insult you've missed the point. First, you are not from the past Italian history and culture, you are a MODERN FARMER if you are actually a farmer in Italy now. Second, What amount of money does a person need to have or not have to be considered poor? Third, The video is speaking of facts of Italian history, not my opinion. Forth, the history and culture of Italy reflects the early stages of Italian farm dogs (Cane Corso), it was the poor people who developed the dogs and fine tuned them, through breeding on their farms. You can simply research this fact by looking at the 11th century to the 19th century. Nothing like a person who does not understand historical documentations but wants to argue it. Fifth, being poor is not an insult, it is not a disease, and it is not a sin. Majority of the people in the world are poor people, that is world statistics/fact/truth. Anyone can be classified as poor when compared to someone who has more, I have money but I am poor, when compared to those who are richer. Humility and truth is superior to money. If you are actually an Italian farmer, that is great. Do not be ashamed of your history, it is history. Thank you for commenting, Good Guardian K9
A little condescending on the presentation but otherwise very informative
What proof do have Boxer was used, Babak and Bazir don’t have obvious Boxer traits at all, and seeing how the boxer comes from The corso what does that even prove?

Ras Tafari, Good, send some pics of them to me on instagram - @goodguardiank9
And the nose is supposed to slant slight or perfect straight but these cane corso now have their noses pointing up wtf
Basir and his litter mates was Taylor made for.the dog show. Like Breber said there was better dogs. They picked the best from what they had. He never wanted the breed to be based on that litter. Was just a starting point.
Interesting! Where does he say that? I’ve been doing my research
So let me get this straight; in type they’re the same and I’m kind they are different, right?
Ryan Malone, Hi, KIND meaning SAME BREED (Traditional Cane Corso). TYPE, meaning various appearance to the same breed of dog. For example some Corso have a longer muzzle, wedged head and a more atheletic body. Some have brick heads, heavy molosser type body But both types are still the same (traditional Cane Corso) same kind. If they are actually pure TCC. Hope that helps to make things a bit simpler. GGK9

I didn't realize it until the last few years but it's like people over the last 4 years have realized these dogs exist, got one and became the president of the fan club.. and nobody else has one or knows anything about them except that person who just realized they exist a few years ago 😂... It's soooo weird.
I was actually planning to start breeding but I thought about it and decided against it because I didn't want to contribute in creating more cane corso Karen's lol. I don't know if its because it was an unpopular breed until a few years ago and everyone wants to pretend like they have always had them or something, or if this breed just attracts a special kind of person but aside from TH-cam, go to any Facebook group, any dog groups, any fourms and you will see every cane corso owner bashing and trying to one up eachother lol
@jessemullen87 - Hi - It may be pointless for me to respond to letter since you have no presence on TH-cam, You have stated what is obvious to everyone globally, but Since you took so much words to do so, maybe you were trying to share something specific. Please explain for me, what exactly is the point of your letter? Thank you so much, GGK9 (WD)
Didn't the Cane Corso and Neos started out as the same dog.
LaShaun McCall, Yes they did the traditional Neo is a real corso, just larger and bred for guarding courtyards.
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 thank you very much for clarifying this because I had people argued with me about this.
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 you have real knowledge about the Cane Corso history.
@@lashaunmccall7906 Thank you so much. Don't waste your time arguing with people who are uninformed. You will always find it is the people who are uninformed that want to argue over the jubject, tuns of them online. Take care.
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 you welcome God Bless
The people who kept and used the CC were livestock owners who were not poor. The CC is expensive to keep, poor people could not afford it. The breed was not created but preserved through the centuries. The type has always been there; it was not created by "backyard breeders". It was the big landowners who had the breeding stock and they gave their dogs to keep to their tenants. Big landowners who did this have disappeared so that the the dogs that were found in the 1970s were the ones kept by their one-time tenants. Basir was not a Boxer cross; he was bred from my dogs and I have always condemned the undershot jaw. The Boxer blood was introduced through a Boxer mutt to the name of Otello by the Italian Kennel Club people and that is how the undershot jaw found its way into the Italian Kennel Club and therefore registered show dog standard.
@paolobreber4512 - Hi Thank you for the response. Many of you seem to have an issue with this word POOR, you seem to suggest that all livestock owners who populated the Cane Corso breed were wealthy, that is simply not correct. Multiple historical proof by photos and short scripts to refute that. Or, we must be speaking of two different countries called Italy. Before I continue further I would need to certify that you are actually PAOLO BREBER. I have been trying to connect with you for quite some time now. Please contact me on Instagram @goodguardiank9workingdog or Facebook @GoodGuardian Knine - If this is Breber we should speak, it would be an insightful dialog. Thank you, Good GK9WD
Yes, I am him.@@goodguardiank9workingdog508
So the Germans send crappy boxer to Italy but the Italians sent good dog to USA and Canada. That's a joke. By the way, a tradicional italian farmer has nothing to do with a backyard breeder, and at least you could have shown a few picks comparing the so call real cane corso and the let's say commercial one.
Hi Ben Martin, Thank you for your comments.
I just want to explain that a kind is not the same as a breed type. A kind would be a dog, a bird, a frog, a human. 😊
@maximumbull1 _ Thank you for sharing. I am not sure if you are responding with the English lesson because you are a DOG SHOW PERSON, It is interesting to find those persons are always offended by information on the traditional Italian Cane Corso. Still, that is expected, as no real Cane Corso lover or breeder can justify having real Cane Corso/traditional Cane Corso in a dog show. BUT, TO YOUR POINT! In context, "KIND" is being used here to differentiate breed types in task/function and genetic makeup. Once the etymology of the word KIND is established and understood, then the word KIND can be used interchangeably with type, to communicate or indicate similarities or differences between TYPES, meaning, in this case BREED OF DOGS. "KIND" the noun, here in context - meaning, a group of animals having similar characteristics, the animals here being DOGS. I certainly hope you have learned something about the traditional Cane Corso and not just how the word KIND can be used. I did take the time to examine the dogs on your channel in the DOG SHOWS. Nice dogs but HYBRIDS (not traditional Cane Corso). Am sure you already knew that to be factual. Why else would you ignore the main subject of the video (The Traditional Italian Cane Corso) to make an attempt to conduct a class in the English language? I certainly hope you found something of good benefit relating directly to the traditional Cane Corso info in the content content. Thank you for sharing. Take care, Good Guardian K9
1:27 doesn’t even look like a CC.
Lets see your CC
@@2a2a2mendment5 I’ve only rescued, the first one I had was one of eight pups dropped off at an abandoned house, and the second was a similar situation. I meant no disrespect, but clearly there are several things lacking with the dog I referenced, the dog might be a great working dog, that said, they should at least resemble a CC. I’d gladly sent you photos if you’d like to see them, where can I send them?
The dog at 1:27 I mentioned has a round head, and again, no disrespect, look at the top of her head! I’m my opinion it doesn’t even resemble a CC!
Thank you
Hi I’m here in Italy just got me a cane corso from a breeder here in Tuscany I did my research before I went to this breeder he seem pretty knowledgeable he has many awards from around Europe for he’s cane corsos he’s kennel is nice how do you know are you an expert of a breeder just asking are you Italian to know this ????
@douglashernandez826 - It is great that you got a Cane Corso, that must be exciting with a new pup. I am not sure why you ask - "how do you know are you an expert of a breeder just asking are you Italian to know this ????" As if being Italian would qualify me some how as an expert on the Cane Corso - But, Since YOUR NAME IS LATINA BY TRADITION, I will ask you this question and I hope my point is made - The tomato by tradition is originally native to western South America and Central America. IN THE 1500s THE TOMATO WAS INTRODUCED TO ITALY AND ALL OF EUROPE BY A LATINA (Cortez). Does this mean Italians know nothing about tomatoes???? OR, What makes being Italian the authority or the only expert on tomatoes or sauce made from tomatoes? Should I assume that if you are not from Spain you have no understanding of the Spanish language? THE CANE CORSO IS A TRADITIONAL WORKING DOG! What are the many awards that a knowledgeable breeder of REAL CANE CORSO could be getting if not from a DOG SHOW? As you may know, REALL CANE CORSO DO NOT BELONG IN A DOG SHOW, and no breeder who loves the breed and have good knowledge of the Cane Corso would breed them for dog shows. The Cane Corso is an aloof dog, you would have to compromise the Cane Corso's temperament in order to qualify it for dog shows, or breed the HYBRID/BOXER CROSS. Take a look at your pedigree, if it traces back to BASIR you do not have a Cane Corso, you have a hybrid. Whether I am Italian or not is not important. My skin color is also not important in determine what is a Cane Corso either. I AM STATING THIS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RACIST. I am not accusing you of such a thing, but it is necessary to state this because you will not be the only one reading my response. Whether I am a breeder or not is also not important. My expertise is not a bragging right. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE INFORMATION, IS IT TRUTH OR NOT, WHETHER THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT OR NOT. I am not Italian, I love the Italian countryside beautiful landscape. Take care, Good Guardian K9
@douglashernandez826 - Hi, Maybe you can also share the kennel you bought the dog from so I can take a look. That would be much appreciated. Thank you, Good Guardian K9
@@goodguardiank9workingdog508 well thank you for your response but yes been Italian and having a kennel I would believe you would follow the breed since it’s origins I wouldn’t expect someone from Latin America or African black or American 🇺🇸 to tell me about a traditional pet bird ect from other than their own countries you get me I rather get for example a dogo argentino from a breeder in angentina than a breeder outside of argentina my point
@@douglashernandez826 - Most interesting points you make, I disagree. Many people think the way you do but you are all in error. The country a person comes from or their skin color never qualifies them as an expert on Cane Corso. Still, let us put the way you thing to the test. Please send me photos or video of your dog, send me the kennel your dog comes from, I will evaluate them both based on the traditional standard for Cane Corso. If the dogs are hybrids I will identify these traits clearly, so you can also identify them for yourself. If the dogs are authentic traditional Cane Corso I will state that clearly as well. If you refuse this simple test, then please enjoy your dog and take care, Good Guardian K9
