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 German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
