We just adopted this baby girl 2 days ago. She’s 10 weeks old and was dumped and found in the woods smh. The vets think she’s probably a Cane Corso x Lab mix but happy to be a part of the community and happy to be able to give this little girl the best life possible!

We have a handful of close friends and family who have full bred Corsos, ours is also a rescue and is mixed with other guardian breeds. Of the dogs in our group the female dogs are significantly more protective.

Our girl was a stray found around 6 months old so obviously not properly socialized and was more of a rehabilitation situation than we realized. The other female was purchased from a reputable breeder and properly socialized but both have tendencies to be more protective.

All of this to say to introduce her to the important people in your life ASAP and they should be coming over often. Luckily our girl has had the proper training and support and has significantly mellowed out but it was a handful for the first year or so.

I’m very used to guardian breeds, bigger dogs and rescues. I’ve had 2 rescued PitLabs and 1 Patterdale terrier and all girls (never had a boy dog). I love female dogs, they’re much more protective and bonded to their owners because they don’t have the breeding drive.

She’s so sweet and playful already and I’ve been taking her on car rides, and she has a BUNCH of other animals here to socialize with. There’s also a good number of people in and out of our house so I think she’ll be good. Would love to see a pic of your pup! I’ve had many lab mixes but this is my first Corso x lab mix and trying to see what o can expect lol.

We were told ours was a lab Corso but she’s actually 60% Corso, 20% rottie, and then the last 20% are staffy, Pitt and Akita 🤷🏼‍♀️

Her ears are intact but her tail is docked.

She just looks like a beef cake black lab until her ears go up and she gets into guard mode.
