The Cane Corso featured here in our logo
is COLOSSEUM SHADOWS™ own
~PRIMUS DEL COLOSSEO~,
which is a mix of Latin & Italian that means,
"First Of The Colosseum".
You're now standing within the portal to the largest, most comprehensive & detail oriented website on the world-wide-web dedicated to the rare Italian coursing mastiff - the ancient breed called CANE CORSO, which is probably the only true coursing mastiff left in the world. Just click the link below to enter the COLOSSEUM SHADOWS™ Cane Corso website where you will find over 100 photos of great examples of the breed as well as historical info on the breed's ancient origins and its direct connection to the extinct great Molossus of the ancient Roman Empire. You will find, within, details of the breed's first arrival in the Western Hemisphere in 1988 and '89 when a man named Michael Sottile, whose family had formerly emigrated from Italy to settle in the United States, imported two litters of Cane Corso pups from their native homeland and organized the 1st Cane Corso club in America which then subsequently developed the very first physical conformation standard ever written for the breed as Italy as yet had no formal written standard! As these imported Italian Cane Corso began to be shown in America's rare breed conformation rings and introduced to the canine enthusiasts of the U.S., some of the dogs of those 2 particular litters along with subsequent imports, began to take the shows by storm and, as Cathy J. Flamholtz documents in her book A Celebration Of Rare Breeds, Vol.II (copyright 1991), "this breed is fast becoming the dog to beat at rare breed shows." ...You will also find within the COLOSSEUM SHADOWS™ Cane Corso website, detailed pedigree information on bloodlines going back to working lines in Italy... Puppy availability and litter announcements are located there under the "Special Announcement" link ...All this and more is what you will find behind the following link. Step on into the world of the CANE CORSO, a rare and ancient molosser. They are theSHADOWS of the COLOSSEUM ™[click here]
