Cane Corso - You say -- Dang, your lucky! A little background on me, my 6 year plan to "Retirement" IS this breed. Here in Montana no one (well one unofficially) is breeding these beautiful dogs! I have a friend here in the states that I've been conversing with over 4 years about breeding. I'm setting up the ability to retire here:
On my 10 acres to specifically breed these dogs.
I have a Vizsla now, had two and 'homed' the 2nd one to a great family who could not afford the breed. They tend to be quite expensive, but I volunteer for a local shelter, and love animals.
These are the two together, Digger & Aspen. Great Breed! Wish you all thebest with your new companion. :)
I would love to have 10 acres lying around. lol. If I did I would probably have 20 dogs!
Cane Corsos are also very rare here. I see hundreds of dogs every day when I', walking Vito, and I have yet to see another one as of yet. The original owner had to drive down to England in order to get a hold of this one.
Very Nice! I "Memed my dog" here he is in His Royal Stature:
Mine is a barker as well. He is an instinctive guard dog, even though I don't want him to be that for me. He's dead set on barking the house down every time there is a noise outside, and quite comically, every time a police car drives past. He doesn't seem to like those much..
::Dog Trainer Advice:: Thank him, rather then the negative of 'stop that'. (It will not always work, but it is more effective) Most dogs "need a job" - this is his expressing "his" work. I'm like, "Thanks Digger, thanks buddy! There's something out there, but you scared it away." They are 'instinct' driven, and as annoying as the "Bark" is, it's in dog language - "Hey, there's frekin' something out there, and I'm drawing your attention to it." ::Woof!:: %^)
Thanks. I'll give that a try.
