The Italian Cane Corso is a loyal companion for hunters and farmers, who admire it for its power, courage, and speed. These even-tempered dogs are hard workers with a protective nature. They get along well with children but are wary of strangers until their owner confirms it's okay. They can live peacefully with cats and other dogs. However, caution is advised with small pets due to the Cane Corso's hunting instinct. These fearless dogs can bark vigorously, but only when necessary. With proper training, they make wonderful family pets.
