Cane Corso family I suppose

These dudes are BIG. I live in the Canary Islands, and you will encounter them (usually protecting the fig trees on a country finca).

They are on the Canarias flag too.

reply

Very cool! I didn't know about the flag.

That's a very strong looking breed. Where are his ears? On the link I can see the ears but not on this one..

reply

Fancy name for a big old hunk of dog.

reply

Yeah. This guy is my kind of beast. Maybe just a bit too heavy.

Got that bull in him

That collar around the dog’s neck looks like it’s just for show, should come off easy!

By the way, welcome back from the darkness! 🤠

reply

Yes it does. Collars can't be too loose. Yesterday the dog boarders put one of our dog's collars on too loosely and she slipped out of it, on a busy parking lot near a major highway. Scared the hell out of me. Luckily she responds well to her name and came running to me.

These ones are safer and not as harsh on the dogs.

reply

Yes, they are safer. The only problem with them is if you have a large, powerful dog the human at the other end of the leash is merely a passenger along for a ride!

reply

True. I had a boxer with one of those collars, and what I did was get a really short leash so I could hold on better.

The breed was developed in the 16th century in the Canary Islands, by crossing dogs brought by Spanish colonists. Typically distrustful of strangers, but affectionate and protective of its family. Originally a cattle herder and guard dog, it still fulfills these roles today.
