Big dog games

Big dogs play and frolic like puppies.
Cane corso italiano dog breed, one of the most ancient representatives of the molossus group, the first mention of which appeared in ancient times. The official ancestors are considered to be ancient Roman fighting dogs, used as baiting dogs-gladiators. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the thread of history of this Roman molossus is interrupted until the beginning of the middle agesэ. During this time, molossians became widespread throughout Europe, as evidenced by numerous engravings and canvases.

During the Renaissance, cane Corso became an object of attention of artists and sculptors due to its steadfastness and fearlessness in battles with wild animals. In Italy, they can still say: "Brave as a Corso". Before the Second world war, the cane Corso protected farms, protected livestock, and helped drive the herd. Of course, they no longer hunted, but in the countryside there was always a use for their strong jaws. After the war, the cane Corso became a rare dog and the breed was on the verge of extinction. The revival of the breed was handled by Giovanni Nicolli, who sought out representatives of the breed and crossed them with each other.
