23. Corso Cane

The Italian Mastiff breed includes the Mastiff Cane Corso. Personal protection, tracking, law enforcement, guard dogs, and companion dogs are all applications for this breed, which the American Kennel Club claims has been around for hundreds of years and translates to “guard dog.” The Cane Corso is a ferocious breed that was developed to fight, hunt, and participate in lethal blood sports while guarding people and property. Despite their turbulent past, they have the power to shape the future. If properly cared for, this dog will ferociously defend their family. However, a Cane Corso can develop aggressive and hazardous behaviors as a result of poor training and breeding practices.
