Summary
About Cane Corso
The Cane Corso is a large, athletic Italian mastiff with a short, easy-care coat and strong guarding instincts. Deeply devoted and sensitive, it needs experienced, consistent handling, thorough socialization, and substantial daily exercise and training to stay balanced.
About Affenpinscher
The Affenpinscher is a small, sturdy German toy breed with a rough, low‑shedding coat and a monkey‑like face. Once a fearless ratter, it’s now a lively companion: alert watchdog, playful and affectionate yet independent, needing patient training, regular grooming, and daily mental and physical activity.
