     The Cane Corso is a mastiff breed of Italian descent. Bred in the countryside by Italian villagers for centuries, this multi-purpose dog was an indispensable tool. The Cane Corso has been called upon to perform several tasks such as guarding, hunting, controlling cattle, companionship, and war. The resulting qualities of such a working dog developed through history translate to a number of working abilities realized today. Many owners train their dogs in personal protection and protection sports, some do weight pulling, hog catching, agility, flyball, and of course, people still use them on the farm.

     This large, athletic dog is one of much substance. Built for power, endurance, courage, and intelligence, the Cane Corso is quite a package. He is a fearless and ferocious defender who may suffer his own death in the protection of his pack, his family. He is an intelligent discerner of people, places, and things and is not known to fly off the handle unnecessarily. He is also an attentive, affectionate, highly trainable, even cuddly pooch.

     Possessing qualities varied enough to allow him to accompany his age-old companions into battle as well as enjoy the fireside afterward, the Cane Corso today represents what we feel you will find is one of the most complete dogs on earth.

     We do advise that you thoroughly research the breed, not only here, but on other sites as well. We also advise that you research other breeds of comparable type to find the dog that will fit you and your family most appropriately. The most important thing is for you and your new companion to be happy and safe. We at Charging Rhino will be happy to accommodate you, if you so choose. Please feel free to explore our site. We hope you enjoy your stay!
