Cane Corso
Uma and I just put a down payment on first pick of a new Cane Corso. Will be a blue (actually gray), blue eye, male. We saw mom and dad dogs last weekend. Dad was about 155lbs and stands about 6' tall. Can we say BIG dog?!
I even got to use a attack sleeve with him... talk about POWER!! OMG. Pups to arrive June 2nd. Go home with us at 6 weeks and will already be 25lbs. Here's dad http://www.motorcitycanecorso.com/ga...l_DSC05616.jpg http://www.motorcitycanecorso.com/ga...l_DSC05628.jpg But we aren't going to crop the ears and going for the blue over the black. Here's a few shots of the last litter http://www.motorcitycanecorso.com/ga...l_MaxCHair.jpg http://www.motorcitycanecorso.com/ga...BIG%20GIRL.jpg http://www.motorcitycanecorso.com/ga...20Attitude.jpg Wifey and I are now getting very excited now that we have a deposit down and contract in. I am told a male at 150# will eat a 50# bag of food about every 2.5 weeks. And of coarse the shit will be insane... I'm thinking I might be able to shit in the back yard and it will blend in! YIKES!!! With these dogs in particular, they actually live 10-12 years.. about the same as your lab or retriever. Very light shedding, no drooling, and very much pack dogs. But as long as we socialize the dog as a puppy he should be fine with strangers as long as he don't pick up on negative vibes by us the owners. The dad dog was crazy on the attack sleeve I was wearing... bruised my arm (and I don't bruise, last time was a high side mc accident). They are a Italian Mastiff breed. A new breed to AKC. Till just recently (the last few months) they were only papered thru a special Cane Corso association. I will get papers for that. It has great bloodlines by Denis Reed. Should make a heck of a sight with 130# Uma jogging with this dog once he's all grown up... Will keep this updated as soon as the pups get here... :dthumb::rockout::rockwoot::pat: |
OH WOW.... what a spectacular looking dog. Just beautiful..... I'm so glad you're going to leave the ears natural.
Congrats on your (soon to be) new family member! |
Beautiful dogs. Congrats
|
Awesome looking dog.. A little bit big for my tastes, but still a very nice dog. I'm thinking about getting either an English Bull Dog or a Boxer. It's been almost a year since we lost out Yellow Lab....
|
Gawd, I keep looking at the pic of the gray one with the blue eyes (the puppy).... what a FACE......
|
Yeah we wanted something big and something different. Something that people just have to ask "what is that?". And as Nee said, the pups are so incrediablely cute.
And the pick of dad does NOT do his size justice. He is the biggest dog I've ever saw. Not just tall like a great dane, but very atheletic and solid. Originally we were looking at dobermans but found these and Uma did TONS TONS TONS of research on like every dog against these. But once we met a couple they are just awesome. Live longer than others their size and very trainable. All of the ones we met would listen to one word commands. This one guy had one in his SUV and with one word it would bark like he was going to kill you, then one more word... calm. And yeah Nee, the ears don't look as good cropped. Not like a doberman where they look better cropped. This one with its big cheeks looks better with the ears down. The tail will come docked as well as the dew claw removed. |
Cute pups...monster dogs.
I've raised Pit Bulls and Rottweillers but never been around this breed and have only recently read a little about them. Very interseting. :dthumb: Heck of a breed and a big responsibility for sure. Post up plenty of pics. :rockout: |
cant wait to move out of this apt so i can get a rottweiler.
not gonna clip the tail. had one in college and this dog was the funnest thing in the world. she was the biggest sweetheart, wouldnt ever hurt a fly. 150# lap dog. |
What kind of price do those things run? Must be pretty high to need a downpayment.
|
z06... its a newer bread as I said it is just in the past few months that AKC even recognized it. Which in reality is probably better because it really has a lack of problems and a great tempermant.
Some more in depth info on them http://www.canecorso.org/ And this site below is always great for info on any breed. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/canecorsoitaliano.htm |

Beautiful dog. I've seen other Mastiffs. They make my 10-year-old Akita look small. Mine has to be on a close leash outside as he is very aggressive with other dogs. Also, extremely loyal. Calm as can be unless someone gets too close to me.
|
Good looking pups...and yeah...the pic makes the dad look not all that big.
|
Yeah not sure Marko... also not sure how hold that dad pic is... here's another of the male dogs...

Just got word...
Puppies were born this morning!!!!!! |
Quote:
|
Smaller litter this time... only 5 pups. So breeder expects them to grow fast being they won't have to fighter over mom milk. And 2 of them are the blue (actually silver) males. So that is good, we can figure out which one fits us best.
Will have some pics Sat and better pics Tuesday after they get their tails and dew claws done. |
Congrats on a real (large) dog Gasman. They seem to run the same price range as our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.
Here's some advice from a big dog owner. First, keep his food and water bowls at a comfortable height for him. Excessive reach *may* lead to stomach problems. If you suspect he has stomach problems, feed him live culture yogurt. That straightened out Mochi's problems. He gets 5 tablespoons of yogurt, three times a day. He was literally on the "Activa Challenge" :dthumb: Another possible problem ( which we had ) was lack of specific breed knowledge at the vets. Be prepared to do a lot of research if his health is anything but perfect. Since you are not cropping his ears, they MUST be kept clean. We wash Mochi's ears about every week to every other week. When we got him ( at 5 months ), he had an ear mite problem that went undiagnosed for many months. He now hates to have his ears cleaned. Get your puppy used to it so it's not a problem. We also use Revolution for heartworm and a tick collar since it controls ear mites and the other popular one doesn't ( I forget the name) Since he's going to be as strong as our dog, I would suggest a "gentle leader" . It attaches around the neck and around the snout. The leash attaches under the snout and takes the pull away. Without it, Mochi can pull me around . I'm 6'- and 210 lbs. With it on, my 130 lb wife has full control over the dog. ( she does without it too, but if he wants to see something , he's as strong as an ox. GSMD are also work dogs) I would suggest giving the dog the best food you can get. Not only is it better for him, it will have less filler and therefore fewer "landmines" in the yard :dthumb: I've heard both good and bad about corso canes. The only bad is from irresponsible owners who didn't properly train their dogs. Make sure he's brought up with other dogs so his social skills are good. GSMD were used as war dogs in the middle ages so they can be vicious but can also be a very social dog if raised properly. They are also fairly new to the US. Here's picture of Mochi playing with our friends Boston Terrier. he also has the gentle leader on but it's hard to see. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../DCP_2841A.jpg Mochi's only about 125 lbs in the picture. he's filled out and goes about 155 lbs now. Once again, congrats on your puppy Jeff |
Thats a great picture.
|
OK... I have heard of the ear mites thing and will have to say something to the wife about it. We had to clean out our last dogs ears so its no big surprise.
I have also saw things on the little tables for the dogs for their dishes. I bet it would also hep keep the cats out of the dog food. Our breeder has very specific directions on what to do and not to do with your puppy. Even down to what food, and no long walks or ANY jogging for a year (to help with future hip problems). Around the block is plenty for a pup. We already been buying things for the dog. The gentle lead or they have some other name for it too... but anyway, that was suggested by th breeder and we already have one that is adjustable. Also, got a kennel wall for the SUV, and have lined up a few smaller kennels for the pup that we are going to borrow from a friend. And will buy a large one for him later when he grows. Well we have 2 cats, and birds so social skills for the dog are going to top priority. My mother in law around the corner has a 7# Chihuahua and my mom has a 12# shitzu so we will be having play dates with them. Funny thing is the pup at 6 weeks will way 3-4 times the chihuahua. :lol: Should be funny to watch for sure! Will also be taking regular runs to pet's stores, vet, and probably the park. Socialize him is the idea both with people and other pets/dogs. |
And daddy outside...wanting to eat me!

Well she owns a harley Yeah no shit... going to go back in a couple weeks when they are up n running around. get some more pics and play with him some more. |

|
Very cute pup. I can't wait till I am out of college so I can get a big dog. A small dog isn't worth the hassle to me.
|
Go big or go home....
|
Beautiful dogs-The short life span always scared me away from them. Glad he is going to someone that will take proper care of him !!

And just think about how much money you saved by getting this kind of 'kid' as opposed to the real kind... :lol: |

I agree Nee... I think he is hands down about the cutest puppy I have ever saw!!! |
Pick the buger up Sat evening!
|
Ok... well we picked him up Sat evening.
he knows who his new mom is. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome001.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome002.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome003.jpg He's showing off his eyes http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome004.jpg Happy new puppy parents http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome005.jpg He's everything we knew he would be. Perfect coloring, great temperment, and very playfull. He is typicall puppy where as he falls over, jumps, cries, and bites everything. Oh and the puppy breath... its been a while sense we smelled puppy breath but it comes rushing back to you. The car ride.... hmmm... what can we say... well it was loud. He was doing fine till we put him in the kennel and closed the door. Then the whining and moaning started. It was sad and funny at the same time. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome008.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome009.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome010.jpg Then the potty training starts. Christine has been taking him out ALOT. Everytime he wakes up from a puppy nap, and every 2 hours. Of coarse he follows us around like crazy, tripping over himself and us. He chews on anything we'll let him and loves his rope toy the most. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome013.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome015.jpg Of coarse he has puppy energy but still has that mastiff lazy... you can see it already http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome018.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome019.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome022.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome023.jpg Later we had to do the crate bedtime. That went over like a fart in church. He was not happy about that. He whined, cried, barked, and yelped. Had to tell him to be quiet and lay down. But he still would persist. I don't think Christine got alot of sleep last night. We were told by the breeder to limit his exposure to people, dogs, and public places for a while till he can get all his shots. Parvo is really bad right now and has be watched for very carefully. Its highly contagous and can be passed on by even humans. So now we have to figure out how to balance germ-a-phobe vs some normalcy. And one of his favorite places is under us, when we are on the couch... laying on the floor. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome024.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ingHome025.jpg Then today he had a vet appt. His new vet is GREAT! And now he already has his first 2 rounds of shots. So he's on his way. Clean bill of health from the Doc. Further, he's getting better with his crate and seperation crying. Had to put a fleece blanket in the crate sunday night so he would have the warm and softness that he's use to when he was laying with his siblings. Plus put a small mechanical travel clock on the crate at night. He did well with that. Still has to go out every 2 hrs but the crying was the worse part. of coarse now I'm on the laptop in the living room. And if he's not trying to eat the power cord, he's biting my thigh, or falling asleep on my lap or between my legs. He's been sleeping like crazy today due to his shots the vet gave him. But anyway... will continue to update ya'll as things go on. |
fuck man... your pup is kick ass... and it's killing me! I miss my dogs! can't wait till I get home!

Yeah he's cool as all hell. Today he made it all the way up the basement stairs.
|
GEESH so cuuuuuuuute! I love how the cats are just sitting there, observing... yeah they'd better enjoy it now, cus he'll be terrorizing them soon enough!!
|
Yeah the cats are doing well with it and so is he with the cats.
He will try to snif the gray cat (Avril) and she just walks away and jumps up on something. He looks up and I can just imagine what he's thinking "That's ok cat, give me a few months and I'll get ya!" |
i know you have said this, but how big do you think he will get?
|
HOLY CRAP! that makes my wolf hybrid thing look tiny. your pup is just so cute, although when he's full grown he'll be just GIGANTIC. still lovable, just lovable and huge.
I'd like to see some poor bastard steal something from you with a dog like THAT around. eat the thief whole probably and ask for more. |

absolutely adorable!! His eyes are so incredible.
As for the parvo thing, speaking fom experience...as long as you keep him away from outside puppies until he has a good immune system and everyone who handles him washes first just in case you should be good to go. Think of it like a hospital type thing, wash first or sanitize, THEN puppy priviledges. After he reaches 6 months old he should be safe from the disease but his shots will go a long way towards helping out as well. Kinda like keeping a real baby. Parvo is a terrible horrible disease, and believe me, if you have a pup get it, you will never forget the smell alone. Getting rid of the germs is a nightmare in itself, it requires bleaching and sanitizing literally EVERYTHING the pup has touched or come in contact with, up to and including yards, fences, walls, baseboards, etc etc... cant wait to see this lil guy grow! |

Got a couple pics from his 1st/3rd vet visit (First for us with him / Third for him)
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../1stVet001.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../1stVet002.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../1stVet003.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../1stVet004.jpg Then some from the other day outside on the back deck http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside001.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside002.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside003.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside004.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside005.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside006.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside008.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Outside010.jpg once his frontline dries I will setup his pool in the backyard so he's not so hott back there. Also, tonight we took him over to my mother in laws to visit her Chihuahua. Brinks was great. The other dog, Rico, not so much. And my MIL just kept saying "good Rico" even though he was growling and barking and obviously wasn't being good. She thinks if she says that it will calm the dog and make it go away... but really it is all wrong. I don't care, Brinks behaved PERFECTLY. Didn't give two shits about the little dog. It was funny to see how big he looks to Rico (7lbs). But I forgot my camera. Next time. |
Cute pup, cats don't seem impressed.
in a few months, pup will eat said cats. Good pup. |
Good looking pup Chris :dthumb: We got Mochi at 5 months old, so we missed the "little" puppy stage.
Pretty cool seeing all the pictures you put up. How long until you post a thread stating " help, my computer crashed from having 25,000 dog pictures on it" :whistle: Jeff |
Yeah the little puppy biting and crate training are the worse part.
We picked up a few biting things the other day at his first trip to the pet store. We took him to petsmart. Put him in the cart and wouldn't let him out, so he didn't pick anything "icky" up. Got him a rubber stick for chewing, and a puppy kong especially for puppy chewing. He likes the stick so much we are holding on to the kong till later. But it comes with little biskets to go inside. As far as the pics... no biggie... its nothing compared to all my bike pics. Plus it would have to crash my laptop, desktop, and the wife's new work laptop. I think we're good. |
I've got probably 10000 pics... don't keep them on my computer though, once I've uploaded them... I usually keep them for a year... then they go to a couple DVD's.
|
Good looking pup, man.

Thanks guys...
Yesterday we introduced Brinks to the dyson and the roomba. It went ok. He was scared of both, but no big deal for him being a puppy and only 7 weeks old. Here's a few pics of him and the roomba. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime001.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime002.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime003.jpg Then last night we took him for some more socializing with 3 calm, submissive, and very well behaved dogs. The Dan's are great dog owners, and the Mr is a amatuer trainer. His dogs are very well mannered and great all around dogs. 2 of them are Australian Cattle Dogs (Boozer & Riley) and the other dog (max) I'm not sure what he is. So good socializing for Brinks. Riley http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime006.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime007.jpg Max http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime014.jpg Boozer http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime019.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime026.jpg Brinks at first wasn't sure what to think of all of the action going on. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime024.jpg He watched Boozer and Dan showing off their skill. Boozer is rediculus at fetch. He will do it forever and is very good at it. The best skill show of skill is him with a stick in the woods. He will search and search and search till he finds the EXACT same stick. But here's some shot of standard fetch. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime028.jpg Brinks wanted him to share. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime037.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime043.jpg And he does http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime044.jpg And some yard shots. Dan's have a great 1 acre fenced in yard so its great for the dogs. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime047.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime049.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime051.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime052.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime055.jpg |
Riley really took a liking to Brinks.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime070.jpg But all the action pooped out Brinks and his puppy power. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime073.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime075.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime077.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...layTime080.jpg |
How are those dogs at fetch? Will he retrieve things?

Unless you've got serious yardage (as in acres) and a LOT of time to dedicate to them, Australian Cattle Dogs are a LOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT of work.

I went canoeing with my dog in June. The first day (we do all weekend w/ camping) we did about 5 miles. Manny swan atleast 3 of that...possibly 4 miles.
|
Well I'm not sure about the miles... I just know it took us like 4-5 hours...
|
Boozer looks like he could have a touch of blue healer in him...
We had a few different australian shepards back home at the farm. All of them were self taught on both hearding cattle and playing fetch. They would never back down from either one! One dog (max) would even still grab the frisbee out of the air after losing the sight in one eye and hearing in one ear. Spectacular dog, best I ever owned. IMO the only sight better than watching a good hunting dog work a field is watching a good cattle dog heard cattle without being fed commands constantly. sorry for the jack... very cute pup Gas, love the baby blues. |
Its cool Cutty... the jack is good and on topic for this page. They are great dogs. They can even hold treats and toys on their head for mins and mins till their owner says "Get it" then they flop it up and catch it in air. Simply awesome dogs. I don't think Brinks will be that awesome for fetch or tricks which is fine. Not what we want him to be. We just want him to be a good, well mannered, defending dog.
Oh and nice sig quote Cutty! Sunday evening we took Brinks out for his first walk. Just around the block (2 blocks as there and back). The first block as we walk away from the house I had to pretty much drag him. He was choking and such (no choke chain just a collar) and eventually puked a bit. Still no help. Puked again at the farthest from the house. Was getting worried he wasn't going to co-operate. Then after the 2nd puke he was good. It was like he got himself so nerved up that he gave himself an upset stomach. Then once he got rid of it, he started walking like a champ. He walked right between me and the wife and kept pace. Never tried to lead, had no pull on the leash and the leash was slacked between me and him. Perfect. Monday evening, he started out a bit the same. But now he would walk fine, get distracted and want to stop either due to distraction or pure lazy. Just pulled him thru it. He made the 2 block lap and did ok. Never tried to lead which is good, cause he knows he's not the pack leader. Walking is VERY important to a dog. When he walks next to you and not in front of you, he knows you are the leader. Further, the exercise and out of the house movement just has to be done to keep them "right". So just like everything else, we are getting a good headstart. Luckily, the weather has been garbage lately so I haven't miss much riding, but I can already tell the puppy is going to screw with it some. |

He now has a Bull Mastiff named Ruger...a true gentle giant. Your pup is cute/cool lookin' as can be. |
Thanks z06!!
Finally got a break in the weather from rain, storms, or crazy heat. Opened the windows and doors. Brinks that it was pretty cool to have front door access. Got a pic of him sitting with Avril the cat. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay001.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay003.jpg And of coarse with Puppy Power its all play then crash http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay006.jpg Then my parents stopped by with their Shitzu, Gizmo... http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay008.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay009.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay010.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay012.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay014.jpg Gizmo wasn't quite sure what to think of Brinks. But Gizmo didn't act badly, and Brinks just wanted to play with, finally, a dog his size. I thought this pic ended up cute... looks like Super Dog :lol: http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay015.jpg Then the mother in law came over with Little Rico again... this time he wasn't bad. No grawling or barking this time when its not his territory. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay019.jpg But again, he didn't want to puppy play either... poor Brinks http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay022.jpg So Brinks played with us and/or by himself with his new ball. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...entPlay024.jpg Trying to get the socialition down with the puppy. The funny part is even now at only 7 weeks old he out weights these dogs. If anything they need to make peace with him for what lies in his future size. :D |
What does he weigh at this point?

Either his next vet visit will tell us or maybe I can get him on a shipping scale at home... ok... maybe if he's sleeping. |
Since hes still small just weigh yourself and then weigh yourself a second time right after while holding him. Thatll give you a good quick idea as to what hes up to now.
