Its parents have a lot to offer in terms of muscle and guarding capabilities, so the Pit Corso (as these mixes are known) are fantastic working dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These muscular dogs are known for their strength and protective skills. But they can be a challenge to own, especially for a first-time dog owner. This is not only because of their size, but also because of the fighting and guarding instincts instilled through hundreds of years of social evolution. Proper training and early socialization are critical.<\/p>\n<p>This particular designer breed is still new on the scene, and no one knows where it originated as their breeding is still in its infancy. In terms of normal breed standards like coat length, growth, and temperament, the breed is still too new, so statistics vary across the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s important to know more about the parent breeds to see where this dog is coming from in terms of personality. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"The_Parent_Breeds_Cane_Corso_and_Pitbull\">The Parent Breeds: Cane Corso and Pitbull<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both names invoke a sense of respect for these large and powerful dogs.

Once the Roman reign fell, they became farm and hunting dogs and transitioned to a family pet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The breed almost went extinct in the mid 20th-century, but luckily enough survived to ensure their legacy. A group of Italian fanciers put effort into a breeding programme for them in 1970 to reinvigorate the breed\u2019s numbers. The Cane Corso officially arrived in the U.S. in 1988, but was only recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They typically weigh 90 to 110 pounds, depending on whether it\u2019s a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedogsnobs.com\/cane-corso-male-vs-female\/\">male or female Corso<\/a>, and vary from 13 to 28 inches tall at the withers. They live an average of nine to twelve years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"American_Pitbull_Terrier\">American Pitbull Terrier<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, Pitbulls aren\u2019t an exact breed \u2014 instead, it\u2019s a group of dogs that share similar traits and characteristics when it comes to looks and personality. There are plenty of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedogsnobs.com\/dog-breeds-that-look-like-pitbulls-but-arent\/\">dogs that look like Pitbulls<\/a>\u00a0but aren\u2019t. There are five proper Pitbulls recognized in America:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The American Pitbull Terrier (APBT)<\/li>\n<li>The Staffordshire Bull Terrier (also called a Staffie)<\/li>\n<li>The American Staffordshire Terrier (known as the Amstaff)<\/li>\n<li>The American Bully<\/li>\n<li>The American Bulldog, although sometimes this dog is omitted from the list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all typically medium to large dogs with short coats, and come in every natural color you can imagine on a dog. They have a muscular build with broad heads, medium-sized ears, and big mouths.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You might be wondering why these dogs fall under the Pitbull umbrella and yet don\u2019t bear the name. This is because of the negative associations a lot of people have with the word \u201cPitbull,\u201d so currently the American Pit Bull Terrier is the only one that has the moniker.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Pit Corso mix is generally the combination of the American Pit Bull Terrier with a Cane Corso, so that\u2019s the specific Pitbull this post will focus on. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The American Pitbull Terrier is the result of breeding bulldogs and terriers together a long time ago. They were bred largely in the early 19th century as baiting dogs in England. The whole point of their existence then was to bait bulls (and sometimes bears) in constructed pits, hence their name, \u201cPitbulls.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/16588ef4-9c20-4c83-adb5-c42a7dc87a0e\" alt=\"pitbull-under-table\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 3\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pitbull-under-table\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 3\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/16588ef4-9c20-4c83-adb5-c42a7dc87a0e\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/16588ef4-9c20-4c83-adb5-c42a7dc87a0e\" alt=\"pitbull-under-table\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 3\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/gxyfJQg7Lno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Burke<\/a>\u00a0from Unsplash<br \/>When this practice ended, thanks to animal welfare laws, they became prominent in the dogfighting circles, which were illegal but easier to organize quietly. These were eventually abolished, but because of this history, the Pitbull has maintained a reputation as an aggressive, fighting breed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In terms of weight, they\u2019re much lighter than Corsos, varying from 30 to 60 pounds depending on sex. They\u2019re also shorter at 17 to 21 inches tall. Their lifespan varies by quite a bit, starting from eight years all the way up to 15 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix\">Cane Corso Pitbull Mix<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"1_Pitbull_Cane_Corso_Mix_Appearance\">1. Pitbull Cane Corso Mix Appearance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They\u2019re large and in charge, there\u2019s no doubt about it. The Pit Corso is typically muscular, as are both of its parents, and they usually have the blocky head and stoutness of the Pitbull. But from there, all bets are off. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They can vary wildly from 50 to 90 pounds in weight, and are usually 20 to 24 inches tall. Their build is typically square, meaning their length and height are similar or the same. However, these are only rough estimates as it depends on the individual parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pups usually stop growing around the age of 18 months, although they can add a few inches more to their height after that depending on genes and nutrition. Their lifespan so far ranges from 10 to 14 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If they take more after their Pittie parent, their short coat will be a little closer together, their muzzle broader, and their jowls tighter with a clean line to the lips. If the Corso traits hold over, the short coat will be more dense with folds here and there. The loose droopy jowls of the Corso may carry over, as well as the height of their Italian ancestry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Pitbulls have high-set ears, Cane Corso ears are droopy and there\u2019s no way to predict which your pup will inherit, so look forward to the surprise. The same goes for droopy jowls \u2014 your pup may have a firmer look to their muzzle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They usually have the Cane Corso\u2019s almond-shaped eyes rather than the Pitbull\u2019s round eyes. In rare occurrences, their eyes can be yellow or blue, and these pups generally cost a lot more. As for coat color, they typically inherit it straight from one of their parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2d8ec4dc-eeb3-4c4d-ae27-34eeca39447f\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppy\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 4\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppy\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 4\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2d8ec4dc-eeb3-4c4d-ae27-34eeca39447f\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2d8ec4dc-eeb3-4c4d-ae27-34eeca39447f\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppy\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 4\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/dog-puppy-cane-corso-cute-319553\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winsker<\/a>\u00a0from Pixabay<\/p>\n<p>The colors they come in are usually typical breed colors, but because of the interesting mix of genes, sometimes a unique color comes along. Here are some of the coat\u00a0colors you can expect to find in a Pit Corso:\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Black\">Black<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A black Corso Pit is a beauty to behold, that\u2019s for sure. It\u2019s the signature color for a Cane Corso, but on the mix it looks equally stunning. Often a black Pit Corso will have a splash of white fur on their chest and belly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Blue\">Blue<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Blue coloring in a dog\u2019s coat looks similar to gray, and it\u2019s typically the result of a dilution gene that subdues color in the follicles and makes it lighter than it would otherwise be. Blue is a fairly rare color for this mix, so it\u2019s a lucky day for you if you find a Pit Corso with a grayish-blue coat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Brown\">Brown<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s the most standard color for a dog, and you\u2019ll find Pit Corsos in all shades of it, from a light fawn to a deep chocolate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Brindle\">Brindle<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Brindle is a very common coat pattern amongst canines, and both parent breeds of Corso and Pitbull come in this color variety. It\u2019s a pattern of tiger-like stripes that alternate between brown and dark brown or black, and can look lovely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"White\">White<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>White is the rarest color for a Pit Corso, even more so than blue. Some Pitbulls are white naturally, so it could be that your mixed pup is simply toting their parent\u2019s white looks. But it can also be the result of an albino gene. This is usually harmless, but if a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/dog-breeding\/merle-in-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">merle gene<\/a>\u00a0is the culprit for that shining white coat, beware.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While merle produces a beautiful and unique coat that you can flaunt at the puppy park, it comes with unseen dangers. One merle gene is usually alright if bred responsibly, but two merle genes can lead to premature blindness and deafness in your pooch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Red_Nose\">Red Nose<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Some Pitbulls have red or pinkish-brown noses, and if they happen to be a parent to a Pit Corso, the pup can inherit this pretty coloring. The red nose comes from a recessive gene that is not common in either parent breed. If the pup is blessed with this rare Rudolph nose, their coat is usually a similarly reddish-brown color.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/51e3448e-ceac-476f-8a85-12639ea4d482\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppies-blue-coat\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 5\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppies-blue-coat\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 5\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/51e3448e-ceac-476f-8a85-12639ea4d482\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/51e3448e-ceac-476f-8a85-12639ea4d482\" alt=\"cane-corso-puppies-blue-coat\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 5\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/dogs-dogs-cane-corso-the-big-dogs-2793954\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JackieLou DL<\/a>\u00a0from Pixabay<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Blue_Nose\">Blue Nose<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Yes, another rare-nosed variety of Pit Corso exists. This is when the nose is grayish-blue thanks to the same dilution gene that causes a blue coat.

Cane Corso and Pitbull Mix Grooming<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With their short coats, these mixed pups are usually very easy to care for and don\u2019t require much grooming. Generally, a brush once every other week is enough.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding cleanliness, there is an unfortunate tendency to drool in one of the parent breeds. The Corso is a moderate drooler, so the odds are you may end up with a drippy dog \u2014 and that\u2019s okay. Just keep some wipes around to clean their face up a bit when the gob gets a bit much. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In terms of bathing, only give your Pit Corso a bath when it\u2019s necessary and make sure you use dog-friendly shampoo. Their skin and fur have different needs than our scalps and hair, and anything designed for human use may cause harm to their skin or coat. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3_Pitbull_and_Cane_Corso_Mix_Temperament\">3. Pitbull and Cane Corso Mix Temperament<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At first glance, you might think that breeding a giant guard dog with a Pitbull is a bad idea all round.\u00a0<br \/>Obviously, the result would be some villainous Cerberus (minus the extra two heads) bent on domination and destruction, right? After all, Pitbulls have somewhat of a reputation for having a bad disposition and a likelihood of attacking humans and other dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are some Pitties that do live up to this legend \u2014 you\u2019ll hear about it on the odd news report or Instagram reel. Although you don\u2019t really hear about Cane Corso attacks, they are renowned as having strong guarding and protection instincts and can be very wary of strangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mixing these two personalities together doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re in for an evil spawn of a puppy, though. It just means that you\u2019re going to need to socialize your pup\u00a0<em>very<\/em>\u00a0well at a young age and continue to train them with the help of an expert handler.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For every bad story you\u2019ve heard about Pitbulls and Corsos, no doubt you\u2019ll have heard or read a dozen more promoting them as the sweetest, most loving dogs towards family members. And as for their mix, they are supremely loyal and loving to their owners.

This means going to the dog park when it\u2019s fairly empty and perhaps maintaining a one-dog household, as adding any smaller floofs to your family could prove to be a mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pit Corsos are also very into stranger danger and will be wary of anyone they don\u2019t know. This is one of the other reasons why training them is so important.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Training and socialization are essential, but buying from a responsible breeder is the first step to ensuring you end up with a Pit Corso with a good temperament. Good breeders will only breed with reputably well-natured dogs with friendly temperaments. This produces a higher chance of well-mannered pups that are loyal, loving, and gentle with their family as well as being healthy. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you buy from a cheap or untrustworthy breeder, there\u2019s the possibility they might\u2019ve bred with unreliable parents. If their pup inherits any anti-social genes, training will have to be more intensive to keep a handle on any undesirable behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4_Exercise_Requirements_for_a_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix_Dog\">4. Exercise Requirements for a Cane Corso Pitbull Mix Dog<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>These big dogs are full of life, and they love to engage in play and exercise. It\u2019s an active breed, so they need to be walked daily and have their need for interactive play met at home. A bored dog full of unused energy becomes destructive, and this can get serious when the dog is as big as a Pit Corso.<\/p>\n<p>Throwing ball or tug of war (if you\u2019re strong enough) are great ways to use up some energy, but using intellectually challenging toys is a fantastic way to engage them. Hiding some treats inside a snuffle mat is very engaging for them, and sniffing tires them out.

Check with your vet how much you should be feeding your Pit Corso and stick to that amount with occasional treats only \u2014 before you end up with a giant blubber ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Elbow_and_Hip_Dysplasia\">Elbow and Hip Dysplasia<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Both the Cane Corso and Pitbull tend to suffer from this condition, making it highly likely in the Pit Corso mix if the parents weren\u2019t bred responsibly. Elbow and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/hip-dysplasia-in-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hip dysplasia<\/a>\u00a0are typical in large dog breeds, and occurs when the joints develop abnormally. It typically causes a lot of pain for your dog and mobility issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Cherry_Eye\">Cherry Eye<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Did you know dogs have a third eyelid? Cherry Eye is when this eyelid gland pops out due to weak fibrous attachment and looks swollen and red. Vet intervention is necessary.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Cataracts\">Cataracts<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s a common ailment with elderly dogs, but Pit Corsos are highly likely to develop these clouded, milky eyes that cause them to lose their vision. Luckily, cataracts can be removed surgically, but even if you opt to leave them be, your dog can still lead a wonderful life without perfect vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Bloat_Gastric_Volvulus_Dilation_nbsp\">Bloat (Gastric Volvulus Dilation) \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Unlike in humans, bloat is a very serious and potentially life-threatening condition in a dog. Their stomach fills with gas and twists, trapping the gas, causing a blockage in the digestive tract, and preventing blood supply to vital organs. This issue is no joke, so get your dog to the vet immediately if you suspect\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecross.org.uk\/advice\/dog\/bloat-in-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bloat is their ailment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/eb6dd620-a08b-4324-b0a3-c3061d516dda\" alt=\"pitbull cane corso mix grey\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 8\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pitbull cane corso mix grey\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 8\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/eb6dd620-a08b-4324-b0a3-c3061d516dda\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/eb6dd620-a08b-4324-b0a3-c3061d516dda\" alt=\"pitbull cane corso mix grey\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 8\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"FAQs_About_Pitbull_Cane_Corso_Mix_Dog_Breed\">FAQs About Pitbull Cane Corso Mix Dog Breed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have any lingering questions? You\u2019re sure to find the answers right here.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Is_Cane_Corso_and_Pitbull_a_Good_Mix\">Is Cane Corso and Pitbull a Good Mix?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This question is probably at the top of your mind when considering this mixed breed. Both are individually intimidating, muscular dogs with formidable physiques and faces, not to mention histories of fighting and guarding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What people can forget, though, is that temperament can be affected hugely by proper socialization at a very young age when their little personalities are still amenable. Teaching these dogs with somewhat of a bad reputation the best way to be a good boy and good girl as puppies will make a world of difference, leaving you with a loving, sweet companion despite their large size.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Are_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mixes_Good_Family_Dogs\">Are Cane Corso Pitbull Mixes Good Family Dogs?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, these designer dogs\u00a0can be trained and socialized into exemplary canines, loyal and loving to their human owners at the very least. They\u2019re great as a family pet if you don\u2019t have small kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that they\u2019re likely to hurt them \u2014 not intentionally, anyway. It\u2019s just that these dogs are powerful and can be pretty big, and can easily knock over a waddling infant. There\u2019s also the possibility that they could revert to their herding instincts around what they perceive to be a small animal.<\/p>\n<p>The Cane Corso parent is responsible for some of this, but it does mainly come down to the specific Pitbull parent in the mix. Even though the American Pitbull Terrier is the one spoken about most here, it is possible to breed a Corso with another dog from the Pitbull family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So if you have a household with younger kids, rather pick a Pit Corso that was bred using Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Bully as parent stock. These are the friendlier and smaller of the Pitbull family, so you\u2019re more likely to have a child-friendly result. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"How_Much_Do_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mixes_Cost\">How Much Do Cane Corso Pitbull Mixes Cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the moment, a Pit Corso mix puppy will set you back anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 in the United States. It\u2019s possible for the price to be higher, though, depending on lineage, health condition, color, and the breeder\u2019s reputation. Do make sure you only contact a reputable breeder for your puppy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The breed is still fairly new and rare, and breeders are finding their feet when it comes to pricing these pups. But they are getting rather popular, so don\u2019t be surprised if the price continues to rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, don\u2019t be afraid to pay more for your pup. A cheap puppy is often a badly bred puppy, so it\u2019s better to spend more now to save on vet bills later. Plus, your dog will have a healthier, more fulfilled life.<br \/>No matter the price, though, fully vet the breeder you intend to buy from before making a commitment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/81dca36e-a3a8-4caf-9853-35c7ed804d7a\" alt=\"dark-pitbull-mix\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 9\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dark-pitbull-mix\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 9\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/81dca36e-a3a8-4caf-9853-35c7ed804d7a\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/81dca36e-a3a8-4caf-9853-35c7ed804d7a\" alt=\"dark-pitbull-mix\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 9\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/UzO4kgBMCv4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jaclyn Clark<\/a>\u00a0from Unsplash<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"What_are_Advantages_and_Disadvantages_of_Breeding_a_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix\">What are Advantages and Disadvantages of Breeding a Cane Corso Pitbull Mix?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Within the canine community, there are mixed opinions on the breeding of these two dog varieties. Some say it\u2019s great for diversity, and some say the offspring are too likely to carry health problems. Here\u2019s a quick summary of the pros and cons:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/59946659-748d-4b00-9a71-2049631716bd\" alt=\"pitbull-on-couch\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 10\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pitbull-on-couch\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 10\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/59946659-748d-4b00-9a71-2049631716bd\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/59946659-748d-4b00-9a71-2049631716bd\" alt=\"pitbull-on-couch\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 10\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/deO2FfIsM1M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arttu Paivinen<\/a>\u00a0from Unsplash<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Pros_of_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix\">Pros of Cane Corso Pitbull Mix<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The upside is each pup is likely to have a unique appearance, even compared to its brothers and sisters from the same litter. This is because they\u2019re still new to the scene and haven\u2019t had certain traits bred into them yet. They can have an excellent temperament, taking the best aspects of each parent breed, and better overall health thanks to being a mixed breed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Cons_of_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix\">Cons of Cane Corso Pitbull Mix<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s possible with new breeds that, instead of having robust health, the pup inherits the genetic disorders of both breeds, resulting in a sickly dog. It takes time to breed out genetic issues. The same goes with temperament and behavior \u2014 there hasn\u2019t been time to breed out any negative traits yet, and no one can predict which temperament the pup will inherit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some Pit Corsos are more friendly, and some more protective. Their appearance also counts as a con for some, with pups sometimes growing much larger than expected or have an odd mix of features. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/cbc15247-1e59-4720-a938-9ea19b43fe15\" alt=\"cane corso and pitbull mix dog breed\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 11\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cane corso and pitbull mix dog breed\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 11\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/cbc15247-1e59-4720-a938-9ea19b43fe15\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rankiq-prod.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/cbc15247-1e59-4720-a938-9ea19b43fe15\" alt=\"cane corso and pitbull mix dog breed\" title=\"Meet the Dog That Doesn't Do Small Talk, Doesn't Warm Up to Strangers Fast, and Doesn't Come With an Instruction Manual 11\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Wrap-Up_on_Cane_Corso_Pitbull_Mix\">Wrap-Up on Cane Corso Pitbull Mix<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So there you have it \u2014 everything you need to know about the Pit Corso all wrapped up neatly for you, from its disputed temperament to its health and more.
