About English Setter
Elegant, medium‑large gundog with a silky belton coat and feathered tail. Gentle, devoted and people‑oriented, it suits active families who enjoy long daily walks. Sensitive to harsh handling, it responds best to kind, consistent training and regular grooming.
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.
