The Cane Corso, an Italian mastiff, is known for its imposing size and protective nature. Originally bred for guarding property and hunting large game, their strength and assertiveness can pose challenges without proper training and socialization.
Why they’re banned: When not properly trained and socialized, they can become highly territorial and aggressive toward strangers and other animals.
Where they’re banned: The Cane Corso is restricted or banned in several countries, including Denmark, Bermuda, and parts of the United States. Some regions require owners to have a special permit, training certification, or adhere to strict containment laws to own one legally..
