The first time I seen a Corso was in the back of a truck. We lived in a small town, and a guy would drive around with his huge male in a crate in the back. He was stunning ( not the guy, the dog) I knew it was a Corso, but had never seen one in person. Beautiful animal, very majestic, and extremely intimidating. I noticed he was fine with women, but wary with men. And would become more so in the presence of his owner. He was very aloof. Just as Logan is in public. There is no wagging the tail for a stranger, or any excitement at all. Just a steady gaze that exuded confidence.
As for the Alabai, I fell in love with the breed through researching guardians. We have always had large dogs. Rhodesian Ridgebacks, E.M., Chow mix.
And I love Molossers. After having a Mastiff there is no going back. Now I can say the same for owning an Alabai. I researched the breed for several years before deciding to buy one. They are a fascinating breed with tons of history and excellent guarding abilities. I like the fact that, like Corsos they are aloof w strangers, and good with kids. They are majestic, and loyal, and beautiful... They are bold, strong, and independent. In all ...Alabai are intelligent, brave dogs that are capable of guarding what is entrusted to them.
Because they developed through natural selection and are not a man made breed, they are hardy and adaptable with average life expectancy of 15 years. I could go on and on...
