Cane Corso

The Cane Corso is a dog of medium-large size, strongly built but elegant, with powerful and long muscles, very distinguished. It expresses strength, flexibility and resistance. The skull is wide and slightly arched, the stop very marked. The muzzle is very wide and deep: its width must be equal to its length. The lips are rather consistent: seen from the front, the upper ones form an ”U” reversed at the commissure and seen from the side, they appear moderately pendulous. The eyes are of medium size compared to the size of the dog, in the sub-frontal position, well apart, as dark as possible in harmony with the color of their coat. The ears are of average size compared to the volume of the head and the size of the dog; triangular in shape and inserted high, they are generally cut in the shape of an equilateral triangle. The trunk is compact, robust and very muscular. The limbs are perfectly plump, whether viewed from the side or from the front.
