| While not much documentation can be found about this breed, it is believed that the Cane Corso originated in Italy. Sources claim that the direct ancestor of the Cane Corso was the old Roman Molossian, otherwise known as the "Canis Pugnax." It is thought that the Cane Corso is a lighter version that was used to aid hunters and warriors in capturing large wild animals. Popular in Italy for many years, this breed was known as a hunting companion and a guard dog. Experts claim that the name is derived from the Latin word "cohors," which roughly translated means "protector" or "guardian of the farm- yard."..... Find out more about this dog breed. | ||
