Actually What I was looking for were some good things I could do from the house. More basic things. I live in the city I don't hunt. At least not that often. I wanted to know if anyone had an example of something else I could do since they are most happy while at work for there owner. The video was just to prove you wrong.....lol

As a member of the Texas dog hunters association I reached out to the breeder for networking and such. He breeds to Italian standards. Not as I mentioned before the American version...sorry . However thank you for your efforts. Next time alittle research will be better before just Google n vids...trying weight pull should be good

lmao now your just blowing smoke up my crack. look brother just like in every other breed there are dogs that can do and dogs that cant do. PERIOD. Its not all in the breeding. Most of it is in the training. If you truly new as much as you claim you know about dogs in general then you would know that.
bred to Italian standards? and that's why that dog has acquired the confidents to stay on a hog???? ..........I call BS

and don't think because I am arguing my point that I at all BELIEVE that you reached out to the breeder of this particular dog lol!!

I might be new to this breed but I was raised with and around pitbulls my whole life. And at the end of the day some couldn't stay on a hog and some could......idk....maybe those pits that could were bred to the Italian standard....

oh and thanks bud :)

Justin pm me and I can forward the email...dalcielo. I would compare the akc standard and the Italian equivalent. Other than that its not training.. no matter how hard you want a dog, hell human, you can't make him do it if its not in his dna... ill never beat a Nigerian in a marathon. ..no matter how much I train. . Get it?? Lol. No offense to Nigeria them dudes can flat out run...lol

Sorry, after reading what you wrote I thought you'd know. I know the standards fairly well and there isn't a physical or temperament trait that would make one a superior hunter over the other. I have owned "American" and "Italian" Corsi and when it comes to confidence there isn't any difference. Most Corsi have it, some don't. That holds true no matter where they were bred.

Correct!! from what the breeder mentioned above said and what I have seen when hunting bigger don't mean better. I hunt in some pretty thick briers and my dogo will get caught up where a pit or bulldog can get through a lot easer...however I choose a bigger dog for safety reasons. When you get on a nasty boar you want a heaver strong dog for the task..

To the OP, I would say any training that you do with your dog will strengthen your bond and will help shape your dog into what you want him to be. The best place to start is obedience training, beginning, intermediate and advanced. There are competitions every weekend if that's your thing. I know if I slack off for a few weeks they develop selective hearing. OB is also the first stepping stone if you wanted to get into protection, sport or agility.

I was told the total opposite. . This applies to hunting only!! If Chuy did not hunt this would apply

Standards standars...Hunt and standards can't be in the same sentence when talking about cane corso..As when talking about temperament.But well that's only my opinion :)
I could tell many things about the beloved standard,thing that ain't sayd too often in Italy..Think in USA
Anyway in my opinion what fixitlouie sayd is kind of true,the genetics count,but the training does its part..But well i don't want to go o.t. so i will just say that cane corso WAS the perfect working dog,now..Well the underbite,the short muzzle and the lamb behavior don't help,without couting the diseases and the problems related to an hard in-breeding..But that's another story :)

I don't think DC or JG are arguing that the dog has to have it in order to be able to do something like this, just as those that want to do some sort of protection sport... the dog has to have the right genetic makeup from the get go and then you build on it from there. What I think there issue was, was in regards to the where you pup had to be from to get that dna to do so. There are some imports that can work and some that are just as soft as a lab and the same that applies to American lines, there are good and bad on both sides of the ocean.

We have more than our fair share of issues in this breed on both sides of the ocean and there are those that are striving to improve, to get back what is lost and those that continue to see a cash cow and will continue to breed dogs like those you listed E1, it is realty, when you have a truly gorgeous breed as this that draws the eye there are always those willing to capitalize.

I'm talking about my "side of ocean" when i say that people initaly prefere shows ,aka money, to working dogs..The argument is too long and you may not approve my toughts,and somethings should sound mad at you ears but well,the story I know it's been told me by the people that "recovered" the race selling dogs to people which were from north-italy,people that never saw a cane corso before 1989/1990 and that wanted a dog that wasn't cane corso.I can tell you that dogs that made history of cane corso were nothing more than an 1f of old type mastino nap X boxers.And this is umder the eyes of everyone..Just see the difference between mmhh..Brina and dogs of late 90'..The "race" started as a profit war , and till people will give prizes to dogs like chenò della porta dipinta (i mean,lmao if that's a c.c. i'm osama binladen) nothing will change.Sorry for this little O.T. but i just love the cane corso and what it rappresents here in my region.Sorry if I mad few errors writing this , but English isn't my first language.
