Cane Corso Mastiff Mix
A Cane Corso Mastiff mix is a cross between a Cane Corso and a Mastiff. Most grow into giant dogs of 105–170 lb and live 8–11 years.


Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Cane Corso Mastiff Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Cane Corso Mastiff Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 26–29 inches at the shoulder, against 23.5–27.5 in for the Cane Corso and 27.5–30 in for the Mastiff.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Cane Corso rates moderate and the Mastiff moderate; a puppy may lean either way.
A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.
Temperament
The Cane Corso is usually described as affectionate, intelligent, majestic. The Mastiff as courageous, dignified, good-natured. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
