He was around 17 pounds as a 9 week old Pup. at 3 months he was 30, at 6 months 60, at 9 months 90, at a year 105, at 2 years 130. His high was 140, and when he got to be 7 I swithched him to Senior food and got him down to 120ish where he stayed until the cancer last may. After the surgery he dropped to 109, but now is at a good 135 pounds, but very solid. The weight now is because of the Prednisone that he will be on as long as he is around, and the winter where it is harder to walk him.
He comes from a line of larger, muscular Corsi. Most will vary between 110 and 140 for males, and 85-110 for females. Carlo has a few brothers that went 160 and no fat.
As with the Yorkie, you buy the breeder first, and then the pup. There are only 5 Corso breeders in the entire USA that I would recommend.
