It is a breed that seems to be getting more and more interest, there are proper breeders,a think there is small breed club, does anyone see the breed getting fully Kennel Club recognition, if it does it will be the first sort of dogo/pit bull type looking doog wont it???

I wouldnt exactly say that, makes the lovely breed sound bad :(    The Cane Corso is nothing like a Pit or a Dogo, for starters its much bigger than a Pit Bull, and Dogo are only the one colour!  And thats White!

We got a knock back from the KC early this year, so nope I dont think its going to be any time soon that the Corso gets the recognition it truly deserves!

Never mind ;) . It's registered here in Europe with FCI, so why not just come and show them in continental dog shows? Make a nice holliday out of it :) ...

The Pitbull dose not in any way resemable a Corso,and the Dogo looks nothin like one eighter.The Pit and the Dogo may look alike.The Dogo is a new breed,and compared to the Corso the Pit is a new breed.The Corso gose back to the days of the Romens.The K.C. will not reg this breed as there ain't enough in the U.K. to make them worth money to the K.C.  I was more than happy to hear the K.C. knocked back the Corso,as I felt this reg would only destroy the breed as they have done with most the breeds under them.I own 2 K.C. Staffys so no sour grapes on my side.But have they really helped any breed for the better.Look at the British Bulldog,look were the K.C. is going with the Staff,the same way as the British Bulldog.Please the K.C. are a joke,and how they still have power I will never understand.I am very glad there are other regs like the I.K.C. trying to keep breeds in their orignal form.   

Remember it's the breed clubs, made up of lovers of the breed, which write the standards, not the KC! ;)

The K.C. have the power to close and change any breed club under them.It's the K.C. that is ment to be looking out for our breeds.And it's the K.C. that give the power to give titles and C.C.'s.The K.C. should have many years ago put there foot down with thew british Bulldog and stripped the clubs of their powers envolved in the B.Bulldogs demise to shame.AND TO A LOT OF OTHER BREEDS.If the K.C. REFUSED TO GIVE TITELS TO THESE BREEDS UNTILL THEY GO BACK ON THE RIGHT ROAD,and title healter animals then people would follow suit.If the healtier and true to orignal type animals were winning the shows then people would go that way.The K.C. has the power to do this,and they sure as hell should be.

The K.C. ARE THE BODY THAT GIVE'S A BREED CLUB RECONITION.So they have the power to strip the club that are not doing the breed any good,that is what the K.C. should have done a long time ago.But they have left many breeds be destroyed.

Its not the KC that ruins breeds...but the breeders.I own a KC reg breed who in the whole are capable of doing their original job because our breeders take care to ensure that only worth dogs are bred from and that they are bred to compatible mates.

Yes I agree with you,but if the main shows ignored the healier dog that are been bredand award the dogs with are fiting standards,that 30-40 years ago the breeds looked nothing like todays type,so how is that fitting the orignal type and standard.And you must know most the top dogs in the show ring are as healty as someone with Aids.Look at the E.Mastiff,B.Bulldog,a lot of the hunting breeds. 

You are partly right, some breeds are unhealthy but not all. My dogs are all healthy, in fact one of them can follow me on my bike 3 miles, work a full day and then run back and still be ready for more and she has done her fair bit of winning.
Also you are right again it is about money, this week in the Exchange and Mart there are about a dozen DDB ads (and only 2/3 mention hip scores etc) and you only have to go to a show or out and about to see how widely DDB vary in size and shape from one another and how badly constructed some are unfortunately it would not surprise me if the same thing happens to the Corso.
Just to clarify I also think they are a great breed, I know two and they are lovely, but as always it's the people who spoil the dogs!

nemasis - do you have any evidence to say that the top dogs are unhealthy, from what you say you imply that they are all on drugs to be kept alive. The KC allocate CCs - they are awarded by judges - the vast majority of whom are breed 'specialists'. The only time I can think of the KC getting involved with the management of breed clubs is when the club's officers have been ignoring their own rules - but perhaps you would give evidence to support your claims. And no I dont think the KC can do no wrong, I think they are too slow at agreeing standards for new vreeds (I think we should just adopt the FCI standard) that breeds stay on the improt register for too long - and question the value of the IR. As far as the CORSO goes I make no comment as I know very little about them

I know of one dog that in my opinion isnt fit to be called or hold 'Champion' status obviously I cannot name the dog on an open forum but many that move in those circles would probably agree with me.  The dog is a top dog and is unhealthy, the lines the dog is from of recent years have also been brought into question.

Well need I say more than the British Bulldog,please do not tell me that is a healty breed in general,look at the state the Eng.Mastiff is in,please most those dogs in the show ring move as good as a slug.Any reg that lets the clubs it has power over let the breed get as bad as the B.Bulldog is now,are a mockery.Look at most the hunting breeds in the show ring,they could'nt hunt a worm,how is that true to type.The Staff is becomeing a stubby legged clobbly breed,I said becomeing.O.K. you may think these breeds may look better,but for f**k sakes,at what cost?The K.C. Staff looks nothing like the orignal Staff did,are'nt standards ment to keep a breed true to type?I really believe if a breed repersenative dose'nt resembly how the breed use to look,then it should not be entertained in the ring.If they look so different know,how will these breeds look in another 60-80 years.And more empasis has to be put to the workabilty and health of a breed.I could have a top winning dog of a large breed and not have any health test'a done on it.I know it's up to the breeder,no it's up to the K.C. to say unless a dog has the relevent health checks done for it's breed,it will not be able to enter the ring for adult dogs.Even if you look at some of the working breeds that are in the conformation ring,they do not resemable the same breed doing gundog trails!Health has to be formost,and if the K.C. have the cheek to say they are the standing body for care of dogs then they should be pushing the health of the breeds.Also how many litters dose the K.C. permit a breeder to take from a bi**h,and the oldest a dam may be bred is before 8 years,how is that thinking of the dams welfare.And know breeders can breed a bi**h every season if a vet says she is healty and supports this by letter,is that really lookimgh after a dogs welfare.I don't think so.And look how easy it is for people to scam puppy buyers by fakeing parentage or useing a dogs K.C. number.I bred my male with my mate's bi**h,and all he needed on the form was my dogs K.C. number.The K.C. never contacted me to varify my dog was the stud.So if someone use's a stud dog once,they have the dog's K.C. number,and can use it from there onwards.There are many ways that the K.C. could put a stop to all this,why don't they?They care for the breeds so much that they made it as easy as possible for crooks to scam people when buying a pup.     

WEll these breed specialists have lost their way some were.If they are awarding winnings to unhealty and not true to type dogs.

Yes of coarse there are healty breed specimans that are K.C. reg.My point is in the show ring there is no emphsis on health.So at lot of the beed examples are gething less healtier.

In the show ring there is no emphasis on health??????  I think that you will find that most show bred dogs of many breeds have the health tests that no "pet" breeder would!

Sadly not all breeds perrodeagua! :(

But far more than in the non-show world. As Perrodeagua says - how many "pet" breeders test? Or are even aware of the need to test?

I think you would actually be surprised at how many 'Pet' breeders do test....And for most people to say they are not aware of health testing for their chosen breed, sometimes I think thats just a 'cop out'...IMO

Frankly anyone breeding should be aware of health testing if they aren't then they know to little to breed.

OK OK OK, WEVE OFFICIALLY YET AGAIN GONE OF OF TOPIC!!!!!!! Back to discussing the Cane Corso, i was asking for peoples opinions on whether it will be KC registered soon or in the future, can we go back to that please!!!!!

Have you contacted the KC to ask?

I have given my answer, and the short straw is no I dont think they will be recognised anytime soon or in the near future which in my opinion is no great hardship considering what the KC actually said about them while expressing their concerns, which was a load of old trout as usual.
