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

Height runs 21–26 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 23.5–27.5 in for the Cane Corso.

Size figures assume a Standard Poodle parent, the size closest to the Cane Corso. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

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 to very high

The Poodle rates very high and the Cane Corso moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very 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.
