Dog Pictures - Cane Corso

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.
