As part of the Working Group, it thrives in a house with a spacious yard. With a need for 60 to 90 minutes of daily activity, the breed suits an active, family-oriented owner (with older children) who enjoys training, provides firm leadership, and enjoys outdoor activities in suburban or rural areas. Cane Corsos have a life expectancy of 9 to 12 years and are prone to Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, and Cherry Eye. More Information Pawsome Authority Cane Corso Profile ← Back to Working Group
