Cane Corsos are enormous, powerful canines who are known to be fiercely protective of their territory and the people they care about.

Cane Corsos will go to any length to protect their loved ones, but are they the most powerful dogs in the world? Or can they defeat other extremely powerful canines, such as the Dogo Argentino?

This post contains the answer!

Can a Cane Corso Defeat a Dogo Argentino?

Dogo Argentino vs cane Corso

A dogfight involving a Dogo Argentino and a Cane Corso would likely be fierce, resulting in serious injuries or possibly fatalities for one of the canines.

Both dog breeds are roughly equal in size. However, the chances of Dogo Argentino winning a battle are slightly higher.

A Dogo Argentino will thump a Cane Corso 7 times out of 10.

You may be wondering how I came up with this answer; well, while researching it, I had to dig deep.

I got on the wrong side of the internet and saw some extremely chilling videos of dog fighting.

I viewed numerous videos of Dogo Argentino and Cane Corso battles, and it was evident that when a fight lasted a long period, the Dogo Argentino would win.

Dogo Argentnos are no joke; they can even compete with the most powerful and ferocious dog breed, “Kangal“.

I’ve also noticed that Dogo Argentino fights more aggressively, as if it’s their last fight.

They also appear somewhat more athletic and muscular. Therefore, I would wager on the Argentino in a combat between a Cane Corso and a Dogo Argentino.

To better comprehend, let’s now compare the two breeds.

History

On the one hand, Dogo Argentinos were bred in the early twentieth century in Córdoba, central Argentina, to hunt large game such as peccaries, wild boar, and pumas, whereas Cane Corsos were primarily bred as companion and guard dogs, but were later used as livestock protectors and hunting breeds.

Both dogs are part of the mastiff family.

While Cane Corsos are mainly kept at home to protect their property from intruders, dogo Argentinos are still utilized as hunting dogs. They assist in the hunting of wild boar and pumas.

Both dog breeds have a hunting past, but over time, they have lost some of their hunting abilities.

Size

Characteristic Dogo Argentino Cane Corso
Height (Male) 24-27 inches (61-69 cm) 25-27.5 inches (64-70 cm)
Height (Female) 23.5-26 inches (60-66 cm) 23.5-26 inches (60-66 cm)
Weight (Male) 80-100 pounds (36-45 kg) 100-110 pounds (45-50 kg)
Weight (Female) 70-90 pounds (32-41 kg) 88-99 pounds (40-45 kg)
Size Comparison Table

The table shows how little the two breeds’ sizes differ from one another.

But since height and weight do matter in a fight, and Cane Corsos are often bigger and taller than Dogo Argentino, they win this round hands down.

Aggression & Courage

After closely examining both dog types and seeing numerous videos, I can confidently state that Dogo Argentinos are slightly more aggressive and courageous than Cane Corsos.

Dogo Argentinos don’t care whose animal they’re battling; they’ll either perish or defeat the opposing animal.

While Cane Corsos are bold, they occasionally back off to save their lives. However, they are more controlled than Dogo Argentinos.

Even with good training and socialization, controlling Argnetnios when they lose their minds and become hostile is extremely difficult.

I would give this round to Dogo Argentinos without any second thoughts.

Body Build

Cane Corsos have a very powerful and muscular body, and they appear pretty sporty as well. They have a big chest, strong shoulders, and a solid build. They do appear extremely menacing.

Dogo Argentinos are no exception; they are also huge, muscular, and robust canines. They, too, have a wide chest and muscular shoulders, giving them a commanding presence. Despite their large size, they are highly athletic.

Overall, if you own one of these breeds, your home will be safe from robbers.

Bite Force

Dog Breed Bite Force (PSI) Estimate
Cane Corso Approximately 700-800 PSI
Dogo Argentino Approximately 500-600 PSI
Bite Force Comparison

The bite force isn’t the most crucial aspect, although it does aid considerably.

Animals with a stronger bite force might cause deeper cuts or wounds to the animal they are fighting with.

Cane Corsos win this round because they plainly have a stronger biting force; in fact, they have one of the strongest bite forces among all canine breeds.

Agility and Speed

Dog Breed Top Speed (mph) Estimate
Dogo Argentino Approximately 25-30 mph
Cane Corso Approximately 27-35 mph
Speed Comparision

Speed and agility are extremely vital factors in combat. A dog that can attack, adjust, and defend faster has a better chance of winning.

Cane Corsos are faster runners, while Dogo Argentinos have higher agility, stamina, and balance while fighting.

Dogos do not tire easily; they can continue to attack with the same energy, and it looks like they know which move to make to overcome their competitors.

Intelligence & Trainability

Cane Corsos can be temperamental, difficult to teach, and aggressive. They require a very strong leader; in fact, experts do not recommend this breed for first-time owners.

They do, however, have a strong desire for food, and some have an eager-to-please attitude, which may aid in training.

Unfortunately, Dogo Argentinos are considerably more difficult to train; they can be highly stubborn and may not react well if you force train them.

They, too, require a highly experienced owner who understands the mindset of dogo argentinos.

Mentality

Last but not least, mentality is an extremely crucial aspect in every combat.

Both breeds are strong-minded and give their all in a fight, but Dogo Argentinos fight like a different beast.

They appear superior, have greater skills, and desire to outperform their competitors. They possess a higher mindset, which greatly aids them in catching or battling wild creatures.

Final Words…

Cane Corsos are renowned for their exceptional guardian traits and loyalty, but in a one-on-one fight with Dogo Argentinos, they fall short.

A Dogo Argentino possesses an excellent fighting mindset, agility, and ferocity.

However, if you like a more controlled breed, the Cane Corso is a preferable choice.

Overall, owning any of these breeds ensures increased security in your home.
