We are looking to rehome our 2 year old corso male corso. Located in dfw area. We are not asking for a fee other than the new owners be willing to neuter him, at your own expense, at a reputable vet. He is papered but his papers will not be going with him. We are rehoming him because I am struggling to give him the attention and love that he deserves. This will in no way be a rushed thing, we’re not on a time crunch and will be thorough to ensure he’s going to a good home. The whole reason for rehoming him is to improve his quality of life and give him the adventures and love he deserves.
The good:
He is house trained, he can sit, stay, lie down, “find” hidden things, he is great with all of the kids, he is big healthy and beautiful, the few times he’s been off leash his recall was excellent, he has an amazing temperament inherited from his father who is a retired police dog in NY. He is UTD on rabies however he has not had any other shots since he was boarded last year. We have a bunny who he has cohabitated with peacefully. Trims nails and bathes easily. Not food aggressive (only tested with adults).
The not so good:
•He has marked in the carpet in our spare room when our guest left after staying for a week. Since then he has not been allowed on carpet.
•He does not get along with other dogs and this can be a problem when walking him if you’re not comfortable with corrections and can’t maintain a stubborn dog. He is stubborn (as most corsos are).
We haven’t had and problems out side of this. That being said he is still a pup and need consistency in training. I have had him since he was 8 months old.
You’d be a great candidate for adopting him if you;
•Will be willing to neuter at a reputable vet at your own expense before taking ownership of him. He is out a family kennel and this is not negotiable because we will not be giving breading rights
•Have a lot of free time and or land where he can live his best life, go hunting, hiking etc…
•You have a large yard they are not good apartment dogs
•Understand he is an inside dog who doesn’t tolerate Texas heat well
•Don’t have small children and/or are not interested in expanding your family
•Are willing to meet him once before taking ownership (not negotiable)
•understand he is a huge dog and this is a huge commitment. He requires twice the does of heart worm, twice the space of a smaller dog, twice the
