The Cane Corso is known in different countries as list dog classified, primarily due to its size, strength and potential danger if it falls into the wrong hands. The classification as a listed dog usually means that certain requirements and restrictions apply to the keeping and handling of this breed. In Germany the breed was removed from the list.

In certain federal states, these dogs were classified as fighting dogs. There were special regulations for keeping these dogs in these regions, such as the obligation to wear a muzzle, leash requirements and the need for a competency test.

The classification as a potentially dangerous dog is a discussed topic within Germany. Skeptics argue that this classification represents a generalization and does not adequately take into account the individual danger of each dog.

Some countries where the Cane Corso may be classified as a listed dog are:

1. Great Britain: In Great Britain, the Cane Corso is on the list of “prohibited breeds” under the Dangerous Dogs Act. This means that the breed cannot be imported, bred or kept.
2. Denmark: In Denmark, the Cane Corso is considered one of the breeds that fall under the dog law for “dangerous dogs”. The keeping is subject to strict requirements.
3. Spain: In some regions of Spain, such as Catalonia, the Cane Corso is classified as a “dangerous breed”. This can lead to the husbandry being subject to certain regulations.
4. Netherlands: In the Netherlands, the Cane Corso is classified as a listed dog in some municipalities, which entails certain conditions for keeping it.

Overall, the Cane Corso embodies a unique combination of beauty, intelligence and loyal devotion, making him a remarkable companion for those who appreciate his wonderful qualities. More about this here: Cane Corso breed portrait
