What Is Your Favorite Thing About a Corso?

[khplaw]

It is worth mentioning that Corsi are the best dogs ever. Intelligent, reserved when required and active when appropriate, they do everything to please you, the all around ultimate companion.

I spend SO much time alone that her company is completely marvelous. The knowledge that I am well and truly protected against any and all evils lurking out there in the world (especially the vacuum) is comforting. My diagnosis of MS was confirmed (finally) which puts permanently in place the V-U-L in vulnerable. No longer fleet of foot, just knowing that Sophie is on patrol gives me peace of mind. When I get lost in thought, she is there with a quick nudge of that schnoz to get me back on track.

When I fall, which seems to be more and more frequently, she is there standing over me protecting me and offering assistance in getting back on my feet. She allows me to continue to be independent and walk where and when I want to without fear.

It is cold here lately (for Cali) and she is lounging in her no longer big enough bed in front of the fire. Her profile is both elegant and noble, confirmation is impressive. It is amazing to me that I have somehow been lucky enough to find her.

Most importantly, when I feel physically crappy, and emotionally spent, she is there with her golden eyes, offering love and compassion and a shoulder to lean on.

Sorry to be so sappy...these are my favorite things and it seems that we corso owners ALL have the same experiences in our lives with out canine companions.

They are truley amazing dogs, except for the farting I could live without that, and now I have a puppy corso too so there is twice as much to love.
Of course there is a down side which is twice as much farting.
Lucky I live in southern Californis so I can open a door and air the place out and still not freeze to death.

Beautifully stated! I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis, however, I am so happy that Sophie provides you with the love and support you need. She certainly sounds like one in a million. They are a wonderful breed no doubt.

I forgot to mention that they are insightful, warm on a cold night,and always seem to bring out the funny in everything! Thanks for the concern about the diagnosis. I suspected it was coming but it took the docs 2 years or so to get there. It was not a huge shock, I am already dealing with the symptoms and have been for awhile. I felt I had to get sophie so she whould be trained to do what I need her to when things get worse. I fell in the park the other day, landed on my pride, and guess who was standing over me in no time flat, looking at me like "Hey...whatch doin down THERE?" Priceless

There are so many things I absolutely love about this breed! I'm going to go with the most recent thing that made just give her a big hug.
The cane corso snort accompanied by a smile!!! While sitting down after play time with Gemma she walks over to me and puts her giant head on my lap lets out a short succession of excitable snorts. After petting her head and telling her she is a good girl she just looks up at me and smiles. Then she drops her head back in my lap completely relaxed and exhales.

Outside of the aforemention personality traits. I love the piercing, menacing stare

Yes, that too! A friend came over in the evening when it was dark, and this is someone Sophie knows very well. My friend understands the Corsi quirks, and even with the outside light on, she was greeted with a very nasty growl. I think it unnerved me more than my friend; she has 3 rotts! But yes, even with a LOOK these"gentle giants" can make your skin crawl and people with larcenous intentions run for the hills. They are like lobsters; all tough and crusty and shelly on the outside with attached armament at the ready, and soft and yummy fuzzy on the inside! Just don't tell anyone.

I have to admit I do love the way when someone comes to call that they don't know they will lay down betteen them and you and just stare at them.
If the person gets up Zoey will give out a little growl and stare them down.
It unnerves people who do not have any experiance with a guardian breed.
