Tuco is a large, strong, and confident male with personality to spare. There is nothing this dog won’t tackle. Very self-assured, Tuco started taking on the world as soon as we had him home. On day two he followed me around the backyard as I mowed the lawn, just steps away. He breezed through obedience training and began watching on the protection field at 16 weeks old. At twenty weeks, without any teeth mind you, he won his first puppy sleeve. He has since completed basic protection and now stalks our home as a four legged security system.

     He also shares our lives with great caring and tenderness. He is the first to shower his friends with lavish, sometimes drooley affection. This dog is content to lay his head in your lap and enjoy your company in gentle, snoring, Corso fashion. His play can sometimes be ruff but, he is always willing to do it and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face with his endless enthusiasm.

     Tuco, it seems, has movie star style charisma. People flock to him in public like paparazzi! Taking him to Home Depot for a five minute paintbrush purchase is never such a timely matter. It seems everyone in the store will throng to him and fawn over his apparent majesty. Before we know it, we are giving a Tuco The Cane Corso seminar! For a dog as intimidating looking as he is, to get the amount of physical attention that he does, is surreal. For instance, we have had young couples push their newborns’ strollers up to meet him, without even asking if he’s all right! And laugh when he sticks his big mug into the carriage and licks the little tike all wet! Now this isn’t behavior I would condone for people but, it does speak of the confidence and stability which he exudes.

     Tuco is an AWESOME, AWESOME dog!!!
