What is cane corso?
Cathrow is an improved breed of the ancient Italian mastiff with a history of more than 2,000 years. This modified large bulldog did not survive in mainland Italy in the past, but was bred in Sicily. They used to be used to drive cattle to slaughterhouses, where they could be bitten for butchers to slaughter. It is also generally used for hunting large wild animals: wild boars, etc. It has excellent agility and responsiveness. Cathrows are standard large bulldogs, and they do not have the loose skin that characterizes the geographic kinship of the Italian Newpoliton Mastiff. They are strong and powerful, with the typical large skull and joints, and the length of the head is about 36% of the height at the withers. The width of the skull is slightly greater than its length, with a spherical arch in the front and a flattening back to the occipital bone.
What does cane corso look like?
The skin around the corners of the mouth is firmer and does not drool like a large bulldog with loose skin at the corners of the mouth. The teeth of the muzzle and the skull are the protruding palate (commonly known as “the earth wraps the sky”), or the reverse scissors bite. More than 1CM. The length of the muzzle and the skull is about 1:2. The muzzle is square, and the length = width.
The body is slightly rectangular. That is, body length is slightly greater than shoulder height.
Cathrow’s coat is not as rough as the Newberleton, a short coat that is approximately smooth but not very soft. A small amount of undercoat is permitted. Fur color allows black, blue, yellow and gradient colors in between, the color of the nose and eyes can change with the body hair, and tabbys of various colors are common colors. But black and red like Dobin and Lovina are not allowed.
cane corso living habits
The Cathrow has a brave temperament, extraordinary courage, and at the same time full of tenacity. Due to its excellent endurance, once it fights, it is often a bloody battle to the end, until it is completely victorious or completely defeated (severely injured or killed). Cathrow’s ancestors once fought with bears, even lions, tigers and other large beasts in the ancient Roman arena. The most glorious history of Cathrow is that he served in the ancient Roman army and accompanied the guard master to rush to kill directly on the battlefield. Very loyal to the owner, very docile to other members of the family, likes to play with children, and very tolerant of children’s excesses. Cathrow is also smart and easy to train. However, the temper is more stubborn, so pay attention to the method and give more guidance. However, Cathrow has a strong desire to dominate, especially for male dogs. Obedience must be cultivated, and obedience must be cultivated throughout the dog‘s life. It is not difficult to cultivate Cathrow’s obedience, but it must be done, otherwise the consequences may be serious. Cathrow is wary of strangers and can be moderately friendly, but not enthusiastic and unprovoked. But for those who might pose a threat or violate its master, it will immediately launch a relentless attack. The Cathrow is an excellent guard dog.
cane corso feeding
Cathrow baby feeding
The 2-3 month old Cathrow baby is still very small. The 2 month old baby needs to be fed 4 meals a day, and the daily food intake is 3% of its body weight. You can divide it into 4 parts and feed it to the baby, and it will grow to 3 months. It can be changed to feed 3 when it grows up. Also, because the baby is small and doesn’t know how full it is, it makes people feel very hungry. Remember that the puppy is hungry and can’t support it, so don’t feed too much. And put some drinking water for the baby.
Cathrow baby food
As for dog food, it depends on your financial situation. If you can eat from the young crown, then buy Kabi, which is the most cost-effective in American magazines. Plus the freight is slightly more expensive than GN, but the price/performance ratio is really high.
Snacks can buy chicken jerky or dog biscuits for the baby. In fact, the snacks are mainly used during training. There are delicious snacks, I am afraid that the baby will not learn, be patient, the Cathrow is very smart.
