Cane Corso History history

Sixteenth-century breeders in Sicily recreated this breed in an attempt to match the ancient, now-extinct, herding breed Cane di Macellaio. It was used as a drover to move herds of cattle, and it might have been used in dog fighting. The breed is extremely loyal to its master and thus can be aloof to strangers. The breed is not naturally aggressive, but protective. In fact the dog was not a fighting breed, but it served many purposes including herding, wild game hunting, and guarding farmers from bandits (mafias) as they traveled to and from their fields. This breed requires obedience training and responds well to intelligent trainers.
