The bodyguard of guard dogs, the Cane Corso. Although his size and stride can often be misinterpreted as aggressive, this gentle giant not only makes a great family dog but also is extremely loyal and submissive when trained properly.
Cane Corsos belong to the Mastiff family of dogs. This genetic factor plays a role in their size and life span with males getting to be upwards on 27 inches in height and around 120 lbs. in weight.
The woman of the house are a tad slimmer with them coming in at 26inches in height and only tipping the scale at the low to high 90's in weight.
They do however share in a mirror life span of 10-12 years, meaning both male and female share the same amount of life time.
With their large stature does come a lot of activity as well as a large open area for them to do this in. They need at least one hour of day of physical activity to not only help with health and weight but also for training purposes.
