The Cane Corso is an Italian mastiff-type breed that reaches an impressive 85 to 120 pounds at maturity. Males are substantially larger, typically weighing 100 to 120 pounds and standing 25 to 27.5 inches tall, while females weigh 85 to 105 pounds and stand 23.5 to 26 inches. The Cane Corso is a muscular, athletic giant breed that is leaner and more agile than many other mastiff breeds.

Cane Corso puppies grow rapidly but require a longer period to reach full maturity compared to smaller breeds. Most reach their adult height by 12 to 14 months but continue building muscle and adding weight until 16 to 19 months, with some males not fully filling out until nearly 2 years. Because of their large frame and rapid growth, feeding a giant-breed puppy food with appropriate calcium and phosphorus ratios is essential to prevent developmental orthopedic diseases that can severely impact their quality of life.
