Tubbs...First and foremost I am a dog lover. "Great Leader" (wife) actually wants the damn thing too! So getting a dog after we got married was a foregone conclusion. As an LEO I am away at night frequently and was looking into breeds with strong protective and guard instincts. I considered several breeds such as the American bulldog, Alapaha bulldog and Presa Canario. The bulldogs came with a little to many congenital health issues and the Presa was a little too aggressive as we both wanted a family pet as well as a guard dog. Found the Cane Corso on a Molosser breed website and liked what the dog was all about. Its a rare breed which means there has not been alot of over breeding by unreputable breeders cranking out the dogs to make money. This helps keep down the congenital health problems over breeding produces. Cane Corso are famous for being able to distingusih between friend or foe and can be a little aloof until they trust a visitor. Once they trust a house guest the guest will have a 120-130 lb lap dog on his/her hands. The breed is also known for its intelligence and trainability. We have the pick of the litter male.
I had a Beagle growing up and good 'ole "Patches" never stopped barking!
