I have recently bought a 16 wk old male cane corso. I have a bandogge and always wanted a full bred corso and always read up on the breed so I'm not totally new to the breed. so I got the dog from a local breeder and when I went to go see them one of the pups (the one I bought) was blue with fawn sock markings with some fawn on the chest and around the anus. ive seen and heard of blur fawn corsos that are mostly fawn with some blue markings but not the other way around. I was wondering if anyone has one or has seen or heard of one. just curious since I've never seen the color before

Is not rare is a disqualifying color in the standard. That doesn't mean your dog won't be a fantastic family pet, it is just not a breed quality dog and should have been sold under s strict no breeding contract :) These colors do pop up from time to time and breeders are trying to breed away from this. There are no rare colors in the CC, if a breeder is telling you that it is a sales pitch and you should run far and fast. Enjoy your pup and looking forward to seeing pictures of him.

grazefull, my pup looks just like the second picture down. now does this mean he cannot be registered? the breeder didn't pitch the color to me but he also didn't say it was a dq. what do these colors mean. why are they a dq.

like all akc show breed theres always standards on the a breed on what it should look like n not all breeds fit that but it doesnt mean it isnt a pure breed just not show but even with non show breeds for the most part should still look close to that breed in other words i should b able to look at the dog n know what it is even with miner faults but there also really bad breeding n also mixes to watch out for too

yes u can still registered your dog but remembers the it isnt the standard n should not b breed also its a sad thing but not to many breed to u about that for selling means r dont even know :( which y u hear rare color pitches to get me n u focus :( that was what happened to my hubby the breeder didint tell him either if i was there it would have been different but it is what it is lol:)

The dog can still be registered. Hopefully it was sold to you with limited registration. Which means he is sold as a pet not to be bred and that if he is bred his pups cannot be registered. There is a written standard for the Corso, lol actually right now there are 3 written standards for the corso, the standard is the tool which the dogs structure/appearance/form are to be based on. Certain unwanted traits in the breed are called Disqualifying Faults (DQ) which mean that if they do come up the dog would then not be considered correct to breed. The Black and Tan or Blue and Tan, which is the B&T in dilute form, are such traits and therefore a DQ in all 3 standards. There is much debate in regards to the color and it's origin in the CC, but it is pretty much agreed that it does derive from a B&T breed such a Rottie. Now that is not saying that your dog is not a purebred, the CC is a relatively new breed, 25 years young. Before the creation of the standard and the breed the CC was a type of dog, who knows really what is in the ingredients. There is also rumors that the original dogs of the American lines were not CC at all but Neo x Rottie mixes... Who knows, what is done is done and all we have is to try to move the breed forward in the future in a positive manner :) Hope that helps...

thanks everyone for the responses. yea just making sure he is still registerable. I won't breed him tho as I respect standard. just was making sure he was full breed and all. he's the only one in the litter to come out that color and I saw both parents so I knew he was pure. I Learned allot tho. thanks all

If the parents are registered with the AKC you should have no problem, although the colour options you might have to contact someone to figure out as they go by codes and you can't just write in the colours. ICCF I think you can still write in the colours so you should be fine just recording his colour there. Regardless of colour I am sure he will be a great companion for you.

Hi. Yes I have a Blue Fawn Corso. He is 9 months old now. He is mostly fawn and has blue highlights in the fawn. His ears are blue and his face is a lighter shade of blue.

Blue Fawn is a standard colour for the corso, often called Formentino, so is a little different than this colouring. He is like the colour of the attached picture? Or have I misunderstood?Rowan3.jpg
 
My girl is Blue with fawn brindling. I'm not sure if it's unusual or standard, I've seen the typical brindles(fawn with black striping) solid blues, blues with white markings and black brindles before but she is the first blue/brindle.

From the "story" my brother tells she was supposed to be from AKC lines but never got any paper work or anything on her to register. When she became ours rather than my brothers we chose to have her fixed just because we are not breeders and don't want to add to the doggy population problem with irresponsible breeding. We just want a happy pet :) This much dog always gets looks and remarks no matter what color she is!

Grey(blue) brindle is a standard colour for the breed so she would registerable as that, although there are those that still market the grey/blue colour as rare and will try to sell for a higher price.
 
Oh I wouldn't doubt my brother paying more money because he was sold a line of poo about her coloring, would not surprise me a tiny bit!

What are the opinions of white markings on a CC? My pup started with a little white star on his chest that has since grown with a white line extending up to his chin so he has a little white soul patch/beard. I will post pictures tomorrow when I'm on my PC.

Btw, otherwise he is black/brown brindle.

AKC standard regarding colour...

Color
Acceptable colors are black, lighter and darker shades of gray, lighter and darker shades of fawn, and red. Brindling is allowed on all of these colors. Solid fawn and red, including lighter and darker shades, have a black or gray mask. The mask does not go beyond the eyes. There may be a white patch on the chest, throat, chin, backs of the pasterns, and on the toes.
Disqualification: Any color with tan pattern markings as seen in black-and-tan breeds.

The white patch used to say small in the old standard but now just says white and I have seen some large blazes that are champions so I don't think that the judges focus too much on the size of the white patch.
