The Cane Corso Italiano, as it’s known today, is an ancient Italian versatile farm and hunting dog. It has been referred to in paintings and historic manuscripts as the Cane Corso, Branchiero Siciliano, Cane Corso di Puglia and Mastino Corso since Roman times, as these are regional expressions for the same dog. These athletic molosser types still retain many of their ancient working drives and enjoy competing in activites such as obedience, agility, tracking, herding, hunting and catch work.
At Watlington's Kennel, we are dedicated to improving the Cane Corso breed. Our championship bloodline currently consist of Scandifio, Belmonte, Alaric and Sutero. We sell our own show-quality ICCF-registered puppies
