The Cane Corso’s roots can be traced back to ancient Italy, where its ancestors were used by the Romans as large, powerful dogs bred for war. The breed’s name itself, “Cane Corso,” comes from the Latin word cohors, meaning “guardian” or “protector,” reflecting its original purpose. While the exact origins of the Cane Corso remain somewhat unclear, it is believed that the breed is a descendant of the Roman Molossian dogs, which were large and strong enough to fight in battle and guard against predators.
What sets the Cane Corso apart from other breeds is not just its size, but its agility. Despite being large and heavy, these dogs are known for their speed and quick reflexes, which make them excellent protectors and formidable hunters.
Our breeding programme was created to produce family guardians. Starting with a foundation bloodline from South Italy from a long lineage of guardian and farm utility dogs we began to combine dogs together with strong genetic dispositions to guard both master and territory and a great balance with all family particularly with our children. I can personally hand on heart say that after many years of working with dogs of all breeds I have never met a breed of dog that even comes close to the traditional Cane Corso when it comes to his devotion to the family, it is deeply routed into the genetic core of the breed and it has been an absolute pleasure to witness my children growing up amongst the dogs.That being said although they are gentle and trustworthy around their family the Cane Corso is still a very serious animal and if he perceives a threat to his family he will swiftly switch into a defensive mode.
The Cane Corso has a long-standing reputation as a fearless guardian. Dating back to ancient Rome, this breed was originally used as a war dog and a hunter of large game. Over time, its role evolved into that of a protector of farms, estates, livestock, and families.
In rural Italy the Cane Corso became known as the farmer’s right hand. It patrolled large properties, deterred intruders and kept predators at bay. Unlike some guard dogs that rely solely on intimidation the Corso was admired for its discernment—able to sense real threats and act only when necessary.

Modern Cane Corsos continue to serve as loyal protectors of homes and estates. They are deeply bonded with their families, naturally territorial, and have a strong work ethic. What sets them apart is their balance alert and imposing, yet calm and affectionate with those they trust.

They don’t bark excessively or act aggressively without cause but their presence alone is often enough to deter unwanted visitors.
