The name “cane” is a Latin word that is basically derived from the word “canis.” It may also come from another word, “Corso,” which may come from “cohors,” meaning bodyguard, or from the Italian word “corsus,” which means sturdy or robust. After some time, this breeding was stopped. However, Later this again started in the 1970s. One of the biggest reasons is that in 1983, the Society Amatori Cane Corso was formed, and finally, in 1996, the Corso dog breed got recognition by the Federation Cynologique Internationale. In 1988, the first Corsos puppy was imported by Michael Sottile. In 2010, this breed finally got recognition from the American Kennel Club (AKC).
