Cane Corso Italiano (continued from part 1)
Despite their rugged exterior appearance, CCs are a very sensitive breed with their families and only fair, positive training methods should be used. Many CCs will sulk and become visibly upset for hours after being scolded by their owners. The Cane Corso Italiano's love and devotion are unequal to most any other breed of dog. Not only do they want to be part of the family, they need this strong bond and interaction from their families. The CC truly suffers mentally and physically if they are living a life of isolation, being kenneled or restricted to life outside away from its family. Once a CC has given itself to a loving caring family, they are not handed over easily.
The well socialized CC will greet the visitor with reserved eagerness and affection. The CC is not a Golden Retriever, and most will not just happily go with anyone who pays attention to them.
The average CCs has a moderate energy level. Some have a high activity level outdoors, and most CCs would enjoy a game of fetch, hiking, swimming and any dog sports with their owners. The CCs should get exercise sessions twice daily, preferably off leash in a contained area. Age is also a factor; once fully mature (around 3 - 4 years old), the energy level significantly reduces.
Cane Corso Italianos vary in their sociability with other dogs. Like most dogs, they are happiest living with opposite sex dogs (hence why that is typically a requirement of adoption in the case that the potential adopter has another dog). CCs also vary in their reactions to smaller animals, such as cats and pocket pets. If socialized, the majority (depending on the particular dog) get along well with such animals but need supervision.
In the right home, the Cane Corso Italiano's undying devotion and affection will capture your heart forever.

Recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1913, the American Eskimo is a member of the ancient and wide ranging Spitz family of dogs. White Spitzes were popular in Pomerania and in the coastal regions of Germany. Sailors traded the white dogs throughout Europe. When Queen Charlotte of England acquired several white Spitzes, the dogs became fashionable among British aristocrats. White Spitzes appear in several Gainsborough paintings. Known as the German Spitz in its homeland, the breed was renamed the American Eskimo in 1917. |
