The Cane Corso is a calm, self-assured guardian that is deeply devoted to his family and regards the rest of the world with appropriate distance. He's not an aggressive dog by nature, but he is a dog with judgment — and that judgment must be shaped through years of socialization and an owner who knows what he's doing. With the right guidance he's impressively stable; without it, he's dangerous.
