Enzo is doing great. We love him so much. He really is part of the family. I can’t imagine him not being in our lives to be honest. Now I just have to convince Justin that we should get another puppy. he he.

MATURE 4 YEAR CANE CORSO SUCCESS STORY
About 4 weeks ago we bought a 4yr old Cane Corso named Bella into our home to be a friend to our Bullmastiff. During the past 4 weeks Bella has proven herself to be an incredible dog. She is extremely sound with the children (2yr, 5yr and 8yr old) good with other 4 legged friends and exceptional on the lead. Although people will cross the road when we walk this is totally unfounded, her temperament is without fault. I would strongly recommend the breed to anyone looking for a loving, loyal and gentle pet. She is active and readily walks 5km daily and would happily do more. Our entire family is so glad we have discovered this breed and see ourselves involved with them for many years to come.
Regards
Sam and Sare

CORSO Vets Favourite Dog
He is now a healthy 20kg and really starting to fill out. We found a fantastic vet, who knew all about the Corsos which was great, and he is within walking distance to home. He calls Enzo his favourite Dog. He is extremely well behaved, and very friendly. Loves other dogs, and just wants to play, play, play. He has a great friend next door now, a nine month old cattle dog named Rex. They are the best of friends. He is almost the same size as Rex which is funny. He is still learning the toilet training thing, but he can sit, stay, come, and is slowly starting to get better at not jumping up on people which is great. When we take him for walks, he stops at every road and sits until we tell him it is safe to cross. Such a smart little dog, we are very proud.
The guard dog in him is very apparent already. If anyone walks past our house, whether it is front or at the rear lane, he gives a few little warning barks ( just to let them know he is there).

3rd place obedience WINNER!
Hi ITACOR, She did it! ITACOR Tiger finished 3rd in her first obedience trial with a score of 89 out of 100. The only reason she didn't win was my inexperience. Judges and entrants were all intrigued with the breed. 2012 will be sure to see a Corso taking out 1st place!

OFF LEASH DOG PARK
We encourage you all to make a visit to your local off leash dog park, this is a place where they can get up and go! It is important for your dog to become social and well mannered at an early stage, this will assist your dog to developing a responsive and enthusiastic approach to your leadership.
This is a typical day at the dog park with our babies Rhea, Knyx, Silk and baby Jack. The dog park allows them the ability in a controlled environment to play, fetch, splash about and meet plenty of people and a variety of dogs. Most of all having FUN.
SPECIAL THANKS "RHEA"
Special thanks to our foster parents Ben & Amanda for their dedication, love and care provided for little Rhea. This is a perfect example of human affection providing Rhea a home where she has successfully acheived socialization with people of all ages, changed environmental situations, living amongst a family environment in and outside the home together with another dog resulting in a well developed young female Corso who can now be successfully rehomed for those looking for an older puppy. Rhea is another success story with ITACOR'S extended family of foster parents as part of Team ITACOR we wish to thank each and everyone of you for your support offering your home to an ITACOR puppy. We are honoured to have both Ben & Amanda part of our foster register. It has been an absolute pleasure to take Rhea to a dog park and watch her well balanced behaviour with a variety of dogs and interaction with children and adults, we applaued you both.
BONDI GUARDIAN "MAHI"
Bondi's true "Guardian of the Future" Mahi the Magnificant. Mahi expresses the typical guardian instinct in his appearance alert and responsive at all times, his owner/handler Ms H is to be commended for her exceptional obedience training, affection, care and attention with Mahi's training; he is certainly an ambassitor for the Italian Cane Corso breed and proud offspring produced by ITACOR Kennels.
UPGRADE NECESSARY
What did we tell you? Corso's love water, Corso's are BIG dogs, Corso's love kids, Corso's are amazing dogs. I think mum and dad need to consider an upgrade next summer....Thanks for the pics guys, after the heat wave we recently experienced this looks like the perfect place to chill.
"HOPE"
Now this ITACOR gal "Hope" will have heads turning.....
She displays all the characteristics the Corso female is admired for, elegance, grace in movement, muscular and incredibly well balanced. She is very typical of the breed standard in her activity levels, free play with children, water activities and ringside dog show girl just to name a few. We wish to honour her foster mum of several months Sara Harris of Sydney for her exceptional passion and dedication in excelling her puppy behaviours with the pleasure of her love and affection "Hope" is the Corso she is today.
We look forward to our continuing foster program with Sara.
