Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Very high

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Moderate

The Cane Corso rates moderate and the Catahoula Leopard Dog low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Cane Corso is usually described as affectionate, intelligent, majestic. The Catahoula Leopard Dog as loyal, independent, watchful. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
