Cane Corso Height & Weight Chart: 1 Month to 9 Years

Cane Corsos are highly regarded for their ability to guard. They are big, powerful dogs that were originally bred in Italy to serve as guardians and adaptable farm dogs.

These days, their demand is not confined to Italy; rather, it has expanded worldwide. They are among the most popular dog breeds in the USA, according to AKC.

This article will focus on the height, weight, and disposition of a Cane Corso.

Now let’s get going!

Cane Corso Height and Weight Chart

A fully developed male Cane Corso is one of the largest dog breeds, reaching a height of 27.5 inches and weighing more than 110 pounds.

They appear frightening at first glance because of their powerful build, and they are inherently more protective and aggressive than other dog breeds.

Training and socialization are essential for this breed from the start, as without them, a Cane Corso might become unruly and may refuse to obey their owner’s commands.

At full maturity, Cane Corsos can grow up to be 27.5 inches tall, but how large are they at 6 months old?

The table that displays Cane Corso’s height according to age is below:

Age (Months/Years)	Height at Shoulder (Inches)
1 Month	8 – 11
2 Month	12 – 15
3 Month	16 – 19
4 Month	18 – 21
5 Month	20 – 23
6 Month	22 – 25
7 Month	23 – 26
8 Month	24 – 27
9 Month	24 – 27
12 Month	25 – 27.5
2 Years	25 – 27.5
3 Years	25 – 27.5
4 Years	25 – 27.5
5 Years	25 – 27.5
6 Years	25 – 27.5
7 years	25 – 27.5
8 years	25 – 27.5
9 years	25 – 27.5

Female Cane Corso Height Chart

Age (Months/Years)	Height at Shoulder (Inches)
1 Month	8 – 11
2 Month	12 – 14
3 Month	15 – 18
4 Month	19 – 21
5 Month	20 – 21
6 Month	21 – 23
7 Month	22 – 23.5
8 Month	22.5 – 24
9 Month	23 – 25
12 Month	23 – 25.5
2 – 9 Years	23 – 25.5

You can see that female Cane Corsos are around 2 inches shorter than male Cane Corsos in the age-wise height progression chart above.

If your Cane Corso is shorter—for example, if your male Cane Corso is 24 months old and stands just 24 inches tall at the shoulders—this suggests that either his development wasn’t flawless or he has defective genes.

However, there could be additional reasons, which only a veterinarian can determine after examining your Cane Corso.

Cane Corsos are among those rare dog breeds that can reach a weight of over 100 pounds once fully grown.

They need a proper protein diet in order to grow better, but due to their heavy stature, they are not as quick as other dog breeds such as the Viszla, Greyhound, and Whippet.

Nonetheless, their large stature and hefty weight enable them to repel intruders from their domains.

At What Age Is A Cane Corso Considered Fully Grown?

Some experts suggest that dogs can continue to grow for up to 24 months, with larger breeds often maturing later than smaller ones.

Dr. Meghan Walker, a veterinarian at Weddington Animal Hospital in Matthews, North Carolina, states that large breeds, such as the Cane Corso, often attain full size by 18 months.

She says that because of their massive skeletal frames, some dog breeds take longer. They may appear lanky until they have reached their full size.

What Can Cause Poor Development Of A Cane Corso?

There are numerous factors that influence the size of a Cane Corso. Here are a few of them:

• Parental Size

It is nearly a given that a Cane Corso puppy will grow up to be bigger and stronger if its parents are already larger and stronger.

On the other hand, the puppy could grow smaller if one of the parents is smaller. Furthermore, pups could inherit some genes from their great-grandparents as well, thus there’s a very slight chance that a puppy that has smaller grandparents may likewise end up smaller.

• Poor Diet

A diet deficient in protein and other essential nutrients will not develop not only the Cane Corso, but any dog breed, because dogs require a sufficient quantity of protein and other essential nutrients in their diet to develop muscles, height, strength, and maintain good fur health.

• Lack Of Exercise

Exercise is not only good for their physical health but mental health as well. Exercise helps in digestion of the food better and helps in growth. However, overexercise can do the opposite. Overexercise can affect joint health negatively.

• Underlying Illness

If your Cane Corso’s weight suddenly changes, it could be because to an underlying ailment. Sudden weight loss should never be ignored; immediately visit a veterinarian and have your Cane Corso checked.

At What Age Cane Corso Will Be Ready To Guard My Home?

When we get a dog like a Cane Corso, we believe that once it is fully grown, he will protect our home from robbers.

Cane Corsos never disappoint their owners since, once fully grown, they become serious protectors. They will protect you and your family members till their last breath.

However, a Cane Corso under one year old is still a puppy and may not be able to defend your home effectively.

Even though Cane Corsos reach their maximum capacity at 18 months of age, a one-year-old Cane Corso can still protect your property from intruders. However, if your Cane Corso is younger than a year old, you shouldn’t hold high expectations for him.

Additionally, if your Cane Corso is young, concentrate on providing as much training as you can. If your Cane Corso isn’t trained, might start to bite people and other dogs.

A well-rounded dog requires early socialization and training, which you must provide.
