Pounds. The dark band is where most French Bulldog Cane Corso Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 17–20 inches at the shoulder, against 11–13 in for the French Bulldog and 23.5–27.5 in for the Cane Corso. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low to high

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

Energy

Low to high

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate

The French Bulldog rates moderate and the Cane Corso moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low

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

Temperament

The French Bulldog is usually described as adaptable, playful, smart. The Cane Corso as affectionate, intelligent, majestic. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
