Good to know
- Italian guardian: bred as a guard and farm dog, they are protective, intelligent and naturally wary of strangers.
- Experienced owners: their size and strength mean they need confident handling, early socialization and consistent training.
- Needs a purpose: they are active working dogs that need daily exercise and mental work.
- Easy coat: the short coat needs weekly brushing and sheds more seasonally.
Getting out with a Cane Corso
Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
