Question
We have a Labrador of 15 months and we are looking for a Cane Corso puppy. Our Labrador is quite big for a Labrador. Both dogs will be male.
What I do wonder, is if this the best combination, since Labrador's have a complete different character as Cane Corso's.
Anyone that has experience with this 2 dogs combined? I know a Labrador needs a lot of exercise, so we take 3 walks a day, with 2 walks of minimal 1 hour. Can we take the Cane Corso (when full grown) on these long walks too, or would it be bad for their joints?
What should we be aware of when these two type of dogs get together?
Some advice on how to care for these two breeds together would be totally welcome!
Answer
I have a lab and a cane corso. They are both 4. We got the lab first when it was 8 weeks old. She is a typical, happy, go-lucky lab - full of energy! We came across a male corso (a few months younger) that needed a home. At this time the lab was about 7 months old and the corso was about 3 months old.
They have been a perfect match! The lab is almost the perfect partner for him as he had trust issues and the Lab helps him put down his guard. The lab is also extremely friendly and would NEVER get over-aggressive with him but is feisty enough to hold her own when they play fight.
The only recommendation I would give is, you may want to consider a female if you have a male already. Not to say that two males won't work but it may be tougher - it's just my opinion. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate based on my own personal experience. Good luck to you and your pups!
