American Bulldog

American Bulldogs are strong, energetic, and intensely loyal. That loyalty can turn into aggression if they feel their family is at risk. They’ve got serious bite force and a fearless attitude, which makes them tough to control in high-stress situations. Without proper training, they’re known to become dominant and unruly. They need structure, boundaries, and a confident handler. This isn’t the same as a typical bulldog—they’re a whole different level of strength and risk.

Cane Corso

The Cane Corso is an Italian mastiff built for protection. They’re lean, fast, and intimidating. While they can be affectionate with family, they have little patience for strangers and don’t hesitate to react to perceived threats. Their size and power make them dangerous if not properly controlled. Training them requires consistency, confidence, and early socialization. A bored or frustrated Cane Corso is a problem waiting to happen. This breed is no joke—and certainly not for rookies.
