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.
