    Good taste, cane corsos are awesome. I love the whole gladitorial mastiff family, and especially the italian strains.
    I have a neapolitan mastiff cross that looks a bit like a cane corso.

    My favourite looking breed is the boxer dog.

    I have a 3 year old fawn female boxer. They are great dogs.

    My cousin and her b/f have a Cane Corso mother/father pair. I was going to get one of the puppies when they had them (if there was a female), but they all died.

    They had one left from the previous litter a jet black one named Lola. She looked like a black lab with a docked tail. I was going to take her but I could not at the time.

    I'm really surprised that's a female, it's buffed as. There's a lot of sexual dimorphism in these dogs, usually the males are way more impressive, but yeah that physique would be very impressive even on a male.

    I'm trying to find photos where my dog looks more cane corso-ey
    editted

    He's sloppier because he wasn't bred for confirmation, but you can tell they're closely related. Neapolitan mastiffs and cane corsos are like cousins, they deviated from the same base, neos went heavier boned and looser skinned for purely defensive duties, while corsos were made lighter and more athletic so they could also hunt dangerous game and herd/catch cattle.
    My dog is the result of crossing neos with bull and terriers to get a lighter and more athletic type of neo, and his relatives hunt wild boar, so it's like a home made cane corso.
