Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chewie is a super cute two year old Cane Corso who's all gentleness and obedience. Chewie arrived at ACL as a stray, but we immediately noticed his manners - he's excellent on a leash, housebroken, quiet, knows sit, down, come, and paw, and he's constantly look to his handler for cues. It's clear that Chewie is a well-trained, well-loved pet - who knows why his original owners were never able to find him. Cane Corsos were originally bred as hunting and guard dogs, and Chewie will benefit from an experienced dog owner who knows large breeds and likes handling intelligent, highly trainable dogs. Chewie is not suited to be a first dog, as he thrives under strong leadership and continuing training. Chewie is a well-adjusted, loving boy who gets along with submissive dogs but will not tolerate dominant or pushy animals. He likes respectful children 8 and up, and once he decides someone is his family, he's loyal for life. His breed has a high prey drive, so he is not approved for homes with cats or small animals.
