What Cane Corsos are like to live with

PDSA describes the Cane Corso as a mastiff type, thought to have descended from a Roman war dog, that later worked as a hunter and on farms, guarding and rounding up livestock. Dogs Trust says the breed is sometimes called the Italian Mastiff, and that Cane Corsos are very large, muscular and typically energetic.

Where can I adopt a Cane Corso in Wales?

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Cane Corsos on this page are with Cardiff Dogs Home (1) and North Clwyd Animal Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

Is the Cane Corso banned in the UK?

No. The banned types listed on gov.uk are the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and XL Bully, and the Cane Corso is not one of them. Battersea says Cane Corsos are legal to own in the UK. Gov.uk says a banned type is judged on what the dog looks like rather than its breed or name.

Is the Cane Corso recognised by The Royal Kennel Club?

No. The Cane Corso is not on The Royal Kennel Club's Breeds A to Z, its full list of recognised pedigree breeds, including those on its Imported Breed Register. That means there is no Royal Kennel Club breed standard for it, and UK breed advice comes from charities such as PDSA, Battersea and Dogs Trust.

The Cane Corsos listed in Wales today are with Cardiff Dogs Home at Cardiff (1) and North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there Cane Corso puppies for sale in Wales?

The 2 Cane Corsos listed in Wales today are with Cardiff Dogs Home at Cardiff (1) and North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

Can I get a free Cane Corso to a good home in Wales, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
