A lot of people have been asking about the Pitbull Cane Corso Mix and whether they make good family companions, so I decided to write a complete guide about this breed.
So, what is a Pitbull Cane Corso Mix? The Pitbull Cane Corso Mix is a hybrid dog breed that is the result of crossing the American Pitbull Terrier with the Cane Corso, which is also referred to as the Italian Mastiff. Bringing these two breeds together results in a large and very formidable dog.
The Pitbull Cane Corso Mix is a very demanding dog, so you definitely want to know everything there is to know about this canine before making the commitment to bring them to your home. In this guide, we’ll look at all the pertinent information about this breed, including their aggression levels, whether they make good family dogs, and how to take care of them. First, however, let’s see how big this dog breed gets.
Cane Corso Pitbull Mix Puppies For Sale
There aren’t many Cane Corso Pitbull mix breeders out there. This breed is still very rare, and not many would dare to risk selling them. Not to mention that selling mixed dogs can be a tricky task as it is since you never know how the future pup would look.
If you’re trying to find the right breeder for your new family member, always make sure you’re going to a reputable seller. Many people don’t know what they are doing and try to sell their accidental litters. While these people mean well, their puppies can be unpredictable.
Also, since both the Cane Corso and Pitbulls can be aggressive dogs, it would be wise to find a breeder willing to let you meet both parents of your desired puppy – or, at the very least, one of them. The parent dog’s behavior can help you get a general overview of how your new puppy will behave.
Don’t be too surprised if the breeder cannot give you precise information on the future appearance of your puppy. The outcome of crossbreeding can be very difficult to predict, no matter how experienced the breeder is.
The price of a Cane Corso Pitbull mix can vary greatly depending on several factors. This includes the quality and the bloodline of the parent dogs, the breeder’s reputation, your area, and whether or not the breeder conducted the necessary health screenings of your dog.
Some breeders will also give their puppies their first vaccination shot before selling, and they’ll even begin their training and socialization. All of this can add to the final price.
Overall, most Cane Corso Pitbull mix puppies will cost you $1,000 and above. These prices can skyrocket if you’re picking a dog with a rare color or from two reputable bloodlines.
Don’t forget that the costs of owning a puppy don’t end there. You should also include expenses such as medical exams, vaccinations, a crate, dog food, toys, and so on.
Just to make a parallel, we’ll explain the cost of two parent breeds.
Cane Corsos can be expensive dogs. Their average price is usually anywhere between $900 and $2,000, but it can be much higher.
Since Cane Corsos are strong guard dogs, some people love getting puppies with an exceptional bloodline. Such dogs can reach the cost of $8,500! This can be quite a lot for a Mastiff-type dog.
Compared to Cane Corsos, Pitbulls are a bit less expensive, and their median price is $800 to $1,500. They are a bit more common than Cane Corso dogs, and they are somewhat easier to breed.
However, if you want to get a well-behaved Pitbull from a reputable bloodline, you can expect to pay much more. Some breeders charge anywhere between $2,100 and $21,000 for puppies of rare bloodlines.
As we’ve mentioned before, there aren’t many registered Cane Corso Pitbull mix breeders out there. One reason behind this is that this isn’t as popular crossbreed as, for example, a German Shepherd Golden Retriever mix or a Labradoodle.
Another reason lies in the bad reputation of the parent breeds – more specifically, Pitbulls. Mixing allegedly aggressive, blood-thirsty dogs with a large breed such as a Cane Corso sounds like a bad idea to many.
The truth is, these pups make loyal guard dogs that just need a bit more socialization to ensure they will be friendly towards other animals.
However, it would be wise to talk to the breeder about how they raise their pups and whether or not they train them from an early age.
Also, reputable breeders will likely know some professional dog trainers to recommend who can help new dog owners teach their Cane Corso Pitbull mix puppy how to behave.
Reputable breeders do more than just mate their dogs and then sell their litters. They help people become the best dog owners they can be. At the same time, if you realize you took too big a bite, a reputable breeder will always accept and rehome your pup.
A King Corso Pitbull mix is the name some people use to describe a Pitbull crossbreed with the very large bloodline of Cane Corso dogs. These dogs can grow to be so big that they are considered one of the 15 largest dog breeds!
These dogs require all the care of a regular Cane Corso Pitbull mix. The only difference is that they can be much larger in size. Some might even grow up to be bigger than regular purebred Cane Corsos!
Keep in mind that these pups aren’t for everyone. You really need to know how to deal with large breeds to be a good dog owner to a King Corso Pitbull mix. These are strong dogs that can overpower many strong humans. If you don’t take proper care of them, they can be dangerous.
Finding King Corso Pitbull mix puppies can be very difficult. Not only are King Cane Corso dogs rare, but not many people dare to crossbreed them with another ‘dangerous’ dog breed.
It is of the utmost importance that you buy your King Corso Pitbull mix puppies from a reputable breeder who will allow you to meet both dog parents. This way, you can be certain that your new puppy won’t be aggressive toward humans.
Even though both Cane Corsos and Pitbull dogs are rarely aggressive toward humans, the huge size of a King Corso Pitbull mix can make them dangerous if there is any behavioral flaw present.
Make sure you take them to a professional trainer if you suspect you cannot train them by yourself.
Hip And Elbow Dysplasia
Both the Cane Corso and the American Pitbull are huge dogs that are at a high risk of suffering from hip and elbow dysplasia, a condition resulting in abnormally formed joints. There is a chance that the American Pit Corso can inherit this condition from the parents.
