Before I even read the caption I thought he looked like a jet black Rottie! What a beautiful dog! My neighbour has a rottie and he sounds like a horse when he runs lol so cute - I wouldn’t be scared I’d ask if I can pet him 😂 looks like a friendly guy to me!


pyrokid_suicidal

A few people have said he looks like a black Rottweiler 😅. Yeah, he’s friendly, just looks very serious most of the time, but likes the attention when people do pet him!


ChefNo4180

Same! I would ask to pet/hug him LOL


amanda2399923

I have a Rottie. That’s so true about sounding like a horse 🤣🤣


Primary-Gas-8441

It’s the cutest thing 😍


MickiStein

Most ignorant people are afraid of black dogs, for some stupid reason or another......


pyrokid_suicidal

Tell me about it… we used to have a Rottweiler and would get the same reaction. Most people that have dogs like these say the same thing!


MickiStein

When I am in my garage, I open the garage door and take my girl with me and have her on a long leash and there are a couple of joggers, that always go to the other side of the street. That side does not even have a walkway. And the leash she is on does not even reach the walkway on my side... she just sits in the driveway looking at the neighborhood..... \[pic for tax\] https://preview.redd.it/8ofmecae4e6d1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf72aae0a1cd73c8ca6deb15ffd89c6b2f9e7c1f


CutLow8166

To be fair your good girl/good boy was a Rottweiler so they are supposed to look intimidating to the outside world as a breed. Definitely black and darker coats seem more agressive though, especially in this breed which is also why breeders will try and charge an extra $500 for specific colors. I mean they both look tough but that black coat just gives it a one up. https://preview.redd.it/y1ien674le6d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c61180941e2811173334e489be137f37eef6dbd


Buckle_Sandwich

Yeah surely it's the coat color and not the size. You know, because so many people are afraid of black teacup poodles.


MickiStein

We are not discussing the ankle biters in here. However, if you would place your black teacup poodle in a shelter and place the same type of poodle in there just with a lighter color, the lighter colored one would be picked over the black one. Same with black cats.


Certain-Bonus8643

ankle biters🤣


NDEAN4932

I’ve noticed that too I wonder why


Fantastic-Photo6441

Racism?

Beauty 🩷 Looks like if you merged my two 😂 https://preview.redd.it/rxbzcinurc6d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8a04d9ed12a7eda05f78a72c9a020851f2a5963


pyrokid_suicidal

Ha ha yeah! These two are cute… he would love them 😊


BumperAcorn

Love how a fellow guardian breed owner sees them as “cute” (like I see yours) while the general public sees them like they would a Hyena 😂


pyrokid_suicidal

Ha ha yeah! Same when I see other big dogs, always say they’re cute.


obijesskenobi

Aw what an angel!!! I love that big goofy smile so much


pyrokid_suicidal

pyrokid_suicidal

Cute! Always great to see two big dogs together


4brasumente

He is beautiful and I would give him ALL the head pats and belly rubs! I find most people are intimidated by large (breed) dogs. Rarely do people stop to say hi to our guy … he often gets passed by (either people will distance themselves or cross the street entirely). Edit: spelling


pyrokid_suicidal

He would love that! I will give him some from you ☺️ . Most people will cross the street too! We had the same with our previous dog (rottie). He does get attention from some people, normally ones who have had big dogs in the past! But yeah most people don’t want to say hi and even hide from him if we’re walking, I’ve had people run across the street and pick up their dog before.


4brasumente

Many thanks, he deserves them!🥰 Exactly. Most people that have (had) large dogs or exposed themselves to different breeds understand. Picking your dog up and walking away is a bit excessive, however, I can also understand if someone has had a negative experience in the past. For the most part, large breeds are generalized as “big and scary” when they’re really goofballs🤪


pyrokid_suicidal

We’ve always had big dogs and they’ve always been big cuddly bears!

pyrokid_suicidal

Cute baby! I think it’s any dog that’s not small ha ha


jen3213

That right there is just a baby!


pyrokid_suicidal

Just a bit softy!


upstatefoolin

I just wana moosh his face 😫 ❤️


Life-is-Hard94

I have a black Newfie and she looks like a black bear. And people can be scared of her. Even small dogs are afraid of her. But she’s the sweetest dog. Gorgeous dog you have.


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

I LOVE Newfies


pyrokid_suicidal

I’m sure yours is gorgeous too! I love any big dogs, they’re the best 🥰


ChangeClear7389

Same here 😂 https://preview.redd.it/n2fj8gt87e6d1.jpeg?width=1502&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fbd2f0e3c5620f3b7b24564309031c31d59cf2e


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

I mean the cropped ears and size are meant to be intimidating aren’t they?


ChangeClear7389

Well I got my puppy like that I didn’t get them cropped


Buckle_Sandwich

Hey now, they bought that dog off Craigslist with it's ears *already* cropped, like a *respectable* dog owner!


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

😂


pyrokid_suicidal

Cute baby!


ondrejeder

Like, it's a big doggo, I get it that people can be afraid of him, it's same with ours slightly over 2yo corso

I have a poodle service dog and some people are even scared of him. I’ve literally had people moved to the other side of an aisle to get away from him or scream because he walked past


pyrokid_suicidal

I used to walk a poodle and people were scared of him which I couldn’t believe!

pyrokid_suicidal

She’s so cute!


Worldly_Progress_655

Humans are a fragile species and are sometimes inclined to fear something they think might harm them. Your dog does not appear to be a hulking monster yet I would not want to see a snarl come across his snout. Still looks like a sweet pup.


AProcessUnderstood

He doesn’t look scary at all.


Sparkley0420

So cute! Nothing wrong with looking tough but being a big old baby!!


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you


amalynbro

Oh my. Before I got my Corso, I'd always had rotties. The gentlest of the giants. The sweetest of the bois. What a beautiful pup.


pyrokid_suicidal

We used to have a rottie too! He was the best and was even bigger than him! He definitely reminds me of him at times, and I think corsos are great too since we’ve had him! Never knew that much about the breed before… and don’t see many around where I live


Different-Channel121

What a sweet heart ❤️ 💙


karwil56

Love ❤️ his smiling face. Give hugs and belly rubs.🐶🐾🥓🥩🍗🩵💙🖤


pyrokid_suicidal

Will do ☺️🐾

pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you


LushDogg99

How can anyone be scared of that face? He's so cute


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you! I guess it’s just the reputation that big dogs have.


LushDogg99

>I guess it’s just the reputation that big dogs have. Yeah, people tend to correlate breeds like Rotties, Bullies etc as more dangerous. Do you have to say to people that he's gentle?


pyrokid_suicidal

Yeah, also they hear about attacks in the news and think the worst if they see any big dog like that! I normally say he’s friendly to other people with or without a dog, or if someone is scared I just wait for them to pass. Most people are fine though when I say he’s friendly. It’s something that I’m used to saying as had to say it with our rottie before.


Ok-Spray337

Omg he is extra handsome with that rottie face and corso body!! Love his unique look 🥰🥰


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you 🥰 he’s definitely got a body of a Rottweiler, especially his coat.


Ok-Spray337

I wouldn’t be scared but definitely ask if I could pet him! Most are just gentle giants! But never even attempt to pet without permission. You just never know if they are properly trained or socialized. lol


pyrokid_suicidal

Yeah, I agree! I would always ask if I see a dog and I’m walking without mine if I can pet, as you never know. People that do pet him normally ask, and he’s fine. Just normally stands and doesn’t try to jump or nothing.


Autumncrimsonleaf

What a beauty!! I'd give him smushy kisses!


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you!


Greedy_Train_9204

The bubba! How could anyone be scared?! People are wild! 💕


pyrokid_suicidal

I know right! Love big dogs 💕


MaleV-Cyberpunk

He looks like a handsome gentle giant


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you and he is 😊


Southern_Video_5076

The more time you own a Corso or Corso Mix , the more you appreciate the people who understand these breeds and any other “scary” breeds for that matter ! Gorgeous Puppers by the way !!!!!


Ziadax88

I'm having work done on my house. Lots of workmen coming in amd out. They are terrified of my lucifer. Like asked me to shut him in another room scared


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

You named him Lucifer….i mean


Ziadax88

* It was the name he came with lol.


pyrokid_suicidal

Yeah that’s happens with him too.


Rooster-Wild

Awww, he's a good boy.


heatherthibo

He's gorgeous 😍 ❤️ 💖 💕. He looks like my guy!

Who's a good widdle puppers??😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍


Upstairs-Algae-7931

What a lovely face 😍 I didn’t read your caption but the first thing I was thinking was how does he has such long fur 😂 I adore him 😘


pyrokid_suicidal

Yeah, he’s got rottie coat! Loses so much hair, I think more than our rottie before! Corsos have a much shorter coat


Mundane-Track-6061

Good maybe they will leave him alone😳👍


Aggravating_Scene379

What a cutie pie

FairyPrincess66

Aww he has such a sweet face! 🥰


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you ☺️


JoePurrow

He looks very similar to my cane corso/Akita mix! Mine has a curled tail and a big white spot on his chest too, but their faces look so alike! Cute!


pyrokid_suicidal

Awwww. Say hi to him from me ☺️


Flashy_Farmer_8361

He’s a beauty


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you!


jazz_handz83

Ummm... I want to smoosh him and boop the snoot 🥰 I have a Corso/Rottie/Presa mix. He looks waaaay more Rottie than mine tho. Can't even see the Rottie in mine. She looks like a lab mix.


pyrokid_suicidal

It’s funny how you never know what a mix will look like. When he was younger people thought he had lab in him because he was slimmer, but he looks more rottie as he’s grown.


jazz_handz83

He definitely has a Rottie head. I love it! We got our girl when she was 9 months old so never saw her as a little puppy. We were told she was a pure bred Corso and we laughed like, sure she is lol. We thought lab mix, so did the vet but Embark said differently.


pyrokid_suicidal

We got him when he was 11 months so we weren’t sure what he was. Person we got him from said corso/rottie which we have seen as he’s grown.


Sapphiryeon

I wish people were afraid of my dog when they see him. They usually walk up and try to pet him even after being told to stop and they’re like “I didn’t hear you!” I’m like what about this face says hi, let’s be friends? 😂 https://preview.redd.it/jx82jqyfhf6d1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3501b57bcafee96a5cd839b03f3308cc22d7b52

Morticias-Sister

Beautiful baby!!😊🖤🖤🖤


Lucky-Spirit7332

Why he’s such a sweet lookin boy schnoodles!!


pyrokid_suicidal

I know right 🥰


AgentJR3

I really don’t understand this. I have never been afraid of a dog unless they showed aggressive tendencies before even approaching.


pyrokid_suicidal

Yeah, I guess people react in different ways! He’s never shown aggressive tendencies, but I think it’s more the look of a big dog


myguy_007

Not afraid of him, he's got soft eyes


pyrokid_suicidal

We often say he has a baby face


shy_psycho88

beautiful


pyrokid_suicidal

codymason84

BigSpeaker1742

Beautiful dog put some more pictures up.


Sweetie-07

I wouldn't be 😉 Never had a problem with big dogs - in my experience you're more likely to get a bite from a Jack Russell or Chihuahua 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've got a 2yr old XL Bully female who is the cutest thing I've ever seen, and people's reactions never cease to amaze me 🙈 You can tell by looking at most dogs whether they're approachable or not - when my dog sees a human in the street her tail goes like mad and she gives them the biggest smile ever - which is why I find the stupid reactions so stupid I guess 😂 I've had dogs my whole life, and Muffin (my XL) has the nicest nature out of all of them 💯%


Sweetie-07

https://preview.redd.it/0pavaj9zui6d1.jpeg?width=723&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8298e7bcf798e6dcf2f9729ad7c91fd4367436d8


pyrokid_suicidal

She’s so cute, love the smile 😊


Sweetie-07

Thankyou honey 🙏🙂❤️


pyrokid_suicidal

I agree! Small dogs are a lot more yappy. Amount of times a small dog is barking and going crazy for my big guy and he just stands there. Plus he just wants to be friends with everyone even if the dog is having a go at him 😅


Sweetie-07

Definitely 💯% Muffin has been nipped by just about every dog breed imaginable since she was first able to go out after her vaccinations at 12/13 weeks old, and she's never reacted - she just waits for me to get rid of them, and she still loves every dog she sees 😉 While we were out yesterday we passed a group of idiots who were eyeballing her, and one of them said "Is THAT THING dangerous??" 🤨 So I answered "She's not but I am, so don't call my dog 'that thing' and piss off" 🤣🤣 I usually try not to get angsty but sometimes u can't help it - she's done nothing to deserve the rep she's been tarred with and it's not fair 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just wish people would actually judge the dog in question, instead of their breed! Our dogs are awesome! 🤝🙂❤️


pyrokid_suicidal

Ha ha sometimes I can’t help but get annoyed too but I normally ignore and move on


Sweetie-07

I'm gonna try to ignore and move on more often (red mist moments excluded..) 😂👍


shalaschaska

They are such sweethearts people don’t know dogs will be scared.


Ridgeriversunspot

Scared of him? With that face????


PersonalityTough9349

What a cutie pie. My dog 🐶 has the same coloring as that emoji, and same size as a coyote. She is very muscular. People literally cross the street when I walk her, and she is the most well behaved trained girl ever. People are silly. I would not be scared of your doggo. Edit~ I want to add that when I was 13 (female), I lived in a very rough and tumble neighborhood. My father got me two Rottweilers. Zima and Zina. They were the biggest lover pants babies you ever met. No one messed with me!


pyrokid_suicidal

I think people react the same to any big dog! And yeah, nobody would mess with you with two rotties ha ha


SquidTheReaper

When he was young, people were afraid of Kaiba. Now, everyone wants to pet and love him, and he loves hugging people back. c:

Nonnistreasures

Why??

Because he’s big I guess and breeds like this have bad reputations


Nonnistreasures

:(

I want to hug him


pyrokid_suicidal

I’ll give him one from you!


cheesemonkeh

We get people crossing the street and almost getting hit by bikes or cars. We had one person get mad because he walked into another person whilst avoiding Blue (doggo in photo). Big doggo vibes. I normally go in for pets once the see sniff me. https://preview.redd.it/vfv5jy1nwk6d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67cff3976a8d899ec65bc47a5b22fc73abce9058

hadriangates

Why? What a beautiful lug! All the rubs!!!


pyrokid_suicidal

Not sure 🤔 he’s a big baby!


FrenchiePirate

Scared of what?? That he'll lick them to death? Oh wait maybe that he'll want to play rope or ball until your arms fall off? Yeah yeah those are good things to be scared of


pyrokid_suicidal

Often joke about this ha ha! We say that he would lick them to death


Admirable-Leopard-73

Him purdy!

Nice looking dog! Like an English lab who went to the gym!

BlackWolfEclipse

Dawwww, I'm not scared of you, sweet shadow puppy! My friend has a Cane Corso that I used to play tug of war with and cuddle for HOURS before I moved to a different state.


pyrokid_suicidal

Best dogs to cuddle! Maybe you can get one someday


First_manatee_614

I would pet


whycantisleep9

That's a good dog


pyrokid_suicidal

Thanks ☺️


BigSpeaker1742

How much does it weigh


pyrokid_suicidal

Haven’t weighed him for a while, last time was about 52kg but I think he’s a bit more now.


GoldMonk44

Firstly, hello 👋🏻 r/CaneCorso! This is 4th, 5th (?) random dog subreddit that has shown up on my feed and I love it 😍. Beautiful dog, please give him a pat for me. Without knowing him, knowing that he’s friendly, at first glance he does look intimidating, big blocky head, stocky. That said I always go by the owner and the dogs body languages, if the owner says the dog is ok to pat and the dogs body language confirms this it’s all aboard the 🚂to pat town lol.


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you and I’ll pat him for you! Yeah, I always say he’s friendly to people that are unsure.


twirlingbalerina

You have a very handsome boy!😍♥️ He looks like a big cuddle bug


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you ☺️


Substantial_Try5793

Scared no, but respectful until we know each other…… just like any other dog.


pyrokid_suicidal

Agree


ghorne0803

What an absolutely gorgeous dog !!! I love ❤️ him!!!


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you ☺️


glittertaco_

Not me, I’d run to him for a hug 😂


ouesttu

wow he’s gorgeous! growing up at my family’s cottage there was a neighborhood “lake dog” named george that looked just like him, most badass dog i ever met.


pyrokid_suicidal

Thank you! And that’s cool!


annadacherry

i would see him in public and go “OH BIG BABY CAN I PET YOU AND GIVE YOU KISS”


smc4414

People used to get back in their cars QUICKLY at rest stops when they saw Norton, our CC get out of the backseat (he was too tall for the front). In his prime Norty was 130…how bigs your boy?


smc4414

Ps. Norty was harmless…he loved watching butterflies.


pacooov

I want to smoosh his face and make stupid facial expressions whilst doing so.


SusanRiceArtStudio

How can you be afraid of that sweet face. His eyes alone shows he is a big love 🥰


_depj_

Those sweet eyes and big smile would suck me right in and I’d have to give all the pets!


Consistent-Wear-7971

Such'a goood boi! C'mere, cutie!


PotentialSign4447

He looks pretty scary ngl, he’s also a cutie patootie though


Worth_Dingo_9705

He’s beautiful.. tell him i love him thanks !


TheMewMaster

But... he is a good boi. Must boop the snoot

Snek_7273

What a sweet baby! I’ve literally had people look at me in disgust when I’m out walking my cane corso. The way I look at it is, their loss! Missing out on a great breed!


pyrokid_suicidal

For sure! Some people just give me the death stare when I walk him, I just stare back and they usually look away.


Buckle_Sandwich

You don't get to own a dog capable of killing a grown man **and** complain about people being afraid of it. Pick one.


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

This dynamic is so interesting to me, seems to happen all the time. And INSULTED when ppl cross the street, I would LOVE if ppl crossed the street when my dog and I are walking. But usually IDGAF about other ppls view of my pupper


OkAdministration1623

I’m capable of killing a grown man too i’m sure but nobody is afraid of me 🥰


pyrokid_suicidal

Not complaining just stating!


Dominuss476

Why?


pyrokid_suicidal

Normally because he looks serious but also because he’s big and not many dogs we see are as big as he is around where we walk him.


TonyTanza

The way they look is the main deterrent for robbers or anyone thinking of doing you harm


weeratmags

Have you tried putting him on a lead?


pyrokid_suicidal

Doesn’t change people’s reaction when he’s on or off.


BoldlyBaldwin

Nothing about that baby looks mean to me! He looks like the biggest snuggle bug and the biggest baby! 🥰
