Good suggestions, though a cat and a puppy is enough for me, and I fear my cat would really oppose being out numbered in his house, especially by a dog as big as a cane corso

I may go with Rizzo, I'll ask my bf to see if he likes the idea too, he totally melted when he saw the little guy. He decided that he doesn't want a big doberman anymore, lol, he is totally sold on a Yorkie, after just 5 mins of playing with him.
