May I suggest a Cane Corso Male, for protection of everyone!

Very tempting since Carlo is such a handsome dog. I will have to look into the breed. Just looking though. Kaji would kill me if he knew I was just looking.

We kept it a secret from Carlo and Maxine too. We sat them down the other day and told them. Carlo shrugged and keep chewing on his bone. Maxine sneezed, spun around 3 times, and ran into the other room.

A good Corso is a terrific companion. They can also take all the abuse a Yorkie can throw at them.

Only initially.....Carlo was fully house trained in less than a week, with an occasional accident if it was our fault in the first month. Pee pads would not work. You would need a King Bed comforter, layered in plastic.

We are still working with Maxine, almost 14 years later, hoping she finally gets it!

Can't wait to see pics of the little man.

Just curious. Do you remember how much Carlo weighed when you brought him home as a puppy?

Veteran's dog was a loved mascot for unit during WWII

Thanks for posting that.

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.

OMG congrats on the new addition!!!! So exciting! I know the little guy will be spoiled rotten!

Steve, thanks for answering that. It was something I had wondered about before.

anytime you need info just ask. I am no expert, but I do know the Corso.
