Italian Fighter
Is the Italian Cane Corso Mastiff typically vicious?
There is a frightening news story in our
region where a 67 year old man was
knocked down and bitten,and literally
eaten on by a pack of 4 Cane Corsos.
These dogs are huge 140-170+ lb.
I suspect they make the average Pitt Bull
look like a whimp. Is this dog a fighter
and aggressive like a Japanese Tosa or an
American Pitt Bull Terrier??
A WELL-BRED, WELL-SOCIALIZED, WELL-TRAINED Cane Corso should certainly not be vicious, no. Proper representatives of the breed are stable, calm, quiet, confident and gentle. The only reasons that Corsos would be vicious are the same as for why any dog might be vicious: poor breeding (as temperament is partially genetic, while inbreeding can result in "canine rage syndrome," typically caused by brain tumors or similar maladies that cause unstable temperament), lack of socialization/training (very common.. and a very stupid mistake that can only be blamed on the owner), or provocation. Also, keep in mind that because there were four of them, they were likely operating under pack mentality. This happens whenever dogs are in numbers rather than individual; the same thing happens with humans. Both dogs and humans may take risks and behave in ways they would not alone when in groups. (I'd tell you what this phenomenon is called, but it's been too long since my last sociology course.)
And no, Corsos aren't designed to be fighting dogs. Their intended function is that of guardian and hunter. They've certainly been used in dog fights -- what "scary" breeds haven't? But that means nothing. Also, I hope you realize that not all APBTs and Tosa Inu are aggressive. Yes, they have been used in dog fighting. Yes, I'm not going to lie -- they are predisposed to dog aggression. But well-bred, well-socialized APBTs and Tosa Inu should be no more dog aggressive than any other dog. (In fact, you realize that feisty little terriers can be just as inclined to dog aggression as "fighting breeds," right? And that there are confident, domineering, headstrong dogs of all breeds?)
