I don't know that it is a corso and I don't know that it isn't. Is it what we would say a Cane Corso should look like, no but if he had papers that said he was would there be less of an argument on it? He would still look how he looks but he would have a pedigree that says he is something. There are a lot of dogs labeled as "Cane Corso" that are being bred that shouldn't be for one reason or another. The argument is it shouldn't be labeled a Cane Corso if it isn't and to me if he is an un-educated owner (which he appears to be) he won't know the difference he will go by what he is told and no one is going to tell him differently. If we are going to start complaining about this particular dog then do we get to start posting all the dogs that don't fit what a Cane Corso should be? For whatever reason, appearance, temperament, etc. I don't like someone calling it a Cane Corso either but there are just as many "good breeders" that are breeding dogs that don't fit the standard and calling them corsi and they should know better. To me this guy isn't the problem it is the person that is selling/breeding them, he is infact getting rid of the dog so educating him now will serve what purpose?
There are too many egos telling people what is right and what isn't when instead they should be worrying about what is in their own back yard and cleaning that up first. This breed is one of the worst for egos and drama, and there are so many breeders with so much knowledge both in the US/Canada and Europe who won't have anything to do with groups like these for that simple fact.
