No, if it doesn't have papers and doesn't look like a CC it is NOT a CC. Period. The thread was driving me batty, I had to stop myself from posting last night as I was getting angry with the stupidity, lol. I waited until after work today.

i had to laugh in this one to, so this this person claims to see many cane corso like this one and yet it is poorly bread go figure lol just bull thats all i can say just bull lol but does a non standard cc look like the disqualified point described in the standards if so would it still look closer to a cc than this dog r am i wrong?

Even a poorly breed cc should look like a cc. Thats where the line is drawn. Fila aint 170lb so that would not add size to the dog. And it looks nothing like a fila. But if it did look like a fila and did act like one, well thats most likely what it would be. When I see something waddle and quack, I sure as shit dont think pigeon.

I think it looks like a corso just not a very nice one. But hell, I think some corso look too much like boxers. I've been watching out for a little girl and can't find a single pairing or puppy that would give me what I'm looking for, so I might be really picky.

It may be a CC, but it could just as easily be a Bandogge. Because it resembles a corso, a very incorrect corso, does not make it one. It is obviously not 170lbs, which proves to me that the owner has no idea what he is talking about. The other red flag for me is the statement that he is NOT a family pet. I do not care how "hard" a Corso is to strangers, they should adore their family and want nothing more to be with them. From what is posted is my guess that it is a nervous skittish dog that barks and puts on a show out of fear. Most people do not know the difference...

Is a good thing in this breed to be extremely picky. I am ridiculously so :)

That's not cool bro...who the hell do you think you are telling someone that thinks a dog looks like a Fila that it aint one? lol J/K (but not really).

When a cat looks like a lion and acts like a lion you dont assume it's a bobcat. When a bear looks like a brown bear and acts like a brown bear we dont assume it's a panda. We aint talking nuclear fusion here. This is very basic reasoning skills.:) Thats a smile :( Thats a sad face :lolbangtable:This is me right now

funny how you seem to be able to tell apart different types of bears by them having very different types but for Filas as long as they have fur, teeth, at least 4 legs and a tail then they are the same... interesting, lol :razzberry:I found out how to use those things too!

My last bent valve was on a brand new stroked, big bored, and ported engine. Valve dropped with less than 5hr on it. Fell into the cylinder and the piston pushed it into the head. Ruined everything but the crank. But my best one to date was i the buggy. I come out of a turn and nail it, It just went dead. I get to looking and it blew the cylinder slap off the case. The front of the cylinder broke and stayed on the bottom end, and the back of bottom end broke and stayed attached to the cylinder. The need for speed ....

LOL! I love it from dogs to cars!

I honestly don't think it is as black and white as people believe it is but there are lots of people with varying opinions and assuming ones knowledge is more than someone else's simply because they have come to a different conclusion with their research doesn't make that person knowledge the more correct one. They are all opinions and everyone is entitle to them and assuming one is more valid is not okay either.

Do I think the dog is a corso, with the dogs that are being bred that have "papers" then it is entirely possible. Are you going to get people to change how they label it when they think they have gotten something pure-bred and potentially gotten ripped off because it doesn't look like what the corso world thinks a corso should look like? Nope.

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.
