About cane corso:
Cane Corso is definitely not a breed for first time owners. This is a head strong breed that will need a good leader to be pet. This breed is different from the retrievers and the spaniels of the dog world. They will not like to cuddle in fact they might acknowledge your presence but do not expect this breed to come to you just for petting or affection. This is a muscular and smart looking dog but just a word of caution that they will not be for everyone.

You always have to remember that this breed loves his or her family but will not be demonstrative of it. They might come as aloof at times and will never respond well to strangers or people other than their immediate family members so you will have to introduce him or her to strangers well. They will need regular exercise and will not make good companions in an apartment environment. They do best in home with yards.
