CANE CORSO vs GERMAN SHEPHERD! What’s The Best Family Guard Dog?
so you want to know the ultimate family
guard dog breeders well today’s final
contest sees the county course on the
German Shepherd looking to eliminate
each other and be crowned the ultimate
family guard dog breed so that further
ado let’s get straight into round 1
about five round fight whoever wins the
most rounds wins round number one
temperament with children when Connie
courses are well socialized from a young
age and puppies grow up with children in
a household they’re known to get on well
together and this includes where there
are over animals in the home as well
however because of their sheer size any
interaction between very young children
and dogs is best supervised to make sure
playtime never gets too boisterous which
could lead to a child being frightened
or in a worst case scenario injured in
any way
course those are known to be a little
overprotective at times and as such
extra care should be taken when children
have any friends over to play German
Shepherds are known to be good around
children of all ages because they are so
calm and patient more especially if they
are well bred even-tempered dogs with
this said German Shepherd puppies can be
boisterous during playtime and mature
German Shepherds can grow into large
dogs as such care should always be taken
when they’re toddlers in the home
because a German Shepherd may
accidentally knock them over during
playtime so here we go judging
temperament with children for the very
last time it’s been an awesome journey
with you guys and I’ll take this chance
to say thanks for all of you who watched
every video and commented with your
thoughts
constructive criticisms and predictions
I see you guys and i truly appreciate it
you’ve made this so much fun and i’ve
learnt loads from you all but back to
the judgment and as much as I love
German Shepherds I have to let them all
laid-back and gentle Connie Corso take
the win in this first round round number
two the intimidation factor the Connie
Corso is a large dog and one that boasts
a great deal of muscle tone which adds
to their very powerful and athletic
appearance they’re quite imposing but at
the same time they are well proportioned
even though they have large heads
typical of the Mastiff type breeds their
schools are broad but get flattered just
behind the dog’s forehead and towards
the back of their heads making them
brascia phallic there it’s quite a deep
furrow at the front of a dog’s head and
their stop is well defined the German
Shepherd is a mid-sized to large dog
that boasts being a little longer in the
body than they are tall there are
powerful muscular dogs of extremely
weather resistant coats there are very
well proportioned dogs have slightly
domed foreheads and nicely web shaped
muzzles their eyes are almond shaped to
medium in size with dark brown being the
preferred color although lighter eye
colours are acceptable the German
Shepherd has a lively intelligent
that gives the impression of being a
confident and self-assured character
German Shepherds are medium to
large-sized ears are broader at the base
and set high on the dog’s head and they
carry their is erect and parallel to
each other and when it comes to their
coat there are two types of coats with a
German Shepherd with the first being
short and the other being long both are
extremely wary resilient and the German
Shepherds outer coat is straight dense
and close lying with dogs having a much
thicker and denser undercoat we’ve
already discussed where I’ve gone wrong
in judging this round in past videos
however for the final I think it’s
fairly accepted that the Connie Corso
has the edge in intimidation even more
so if they’re cropped and docked we’ll
save the ethical discussion of that for
another video
round number three the dogs trainability
the Connie Corso is very intelligent
they’re like nothing better than to
please their owners as such in the right
hands with correct amount of
socialization they’re easy to train and
easy to handle
however these large smart dogs need to
know their place in the pack and who to
look for for direction and guidance to
be truly well rounded obedient dogs it
cannot be stressed enough the importance
of early socialization with these dogs
and their training has to start early
and be consistent throughout their lives
to prevent them from showing a more
dominant side to their natures this
could lead a Connie Corso becoming
unruly and therefore unmanageable to the
point of actually being quite dangerous
however in the right hands with the
correct amount of training and exercise
the Connie Corso grows up to be an
obedient mature dog there’s an absolute
pleasure to have around the house German
Shepherds are highly intelligent and
need a tremendous amount of mental
stimulation to be truly well-rounded
characters in the right hands with the
correct amount of training they’re
extremely responsive to commands that
they are taught they excel when they
take part in obedience classes for this
very reason and they’re particularly
receptive to voice commands when the
right sort of intonation is used German
shepherds respond well to positive
reinforcement and will not accept any
harsh methods of handling which includes
the way they are corrected when they get
something wrong well-handled excel at
all the canine sporting activities which
include agility flyball and obedience
but they can also CPC and working as
rescue dogs tracking dogs and helping
the police and other authorities in
their work all of which are jobs at the
German Shepherd taking their stride and
absolutely love executing I won’t spend
long here is although the Connie Corso
can be very trainable and excel in a
variety of roles they said
we cannot compare to the german shepherd
who brings his back to rounds to one
round number four health and life
expectancy the average life expectancy
bacana Corsos between ten and eleven
years like so many other breeds the
Connie Corso is known to suffer from a
few hereditary health issues which are
worth knowing about if you’re planning
to share your home with one of these
amazing dogs the conditions that seem to
affect the breed most include hip and
elbow dysplasia cherry eye
cardiomyopathy epilepsy wobblers
syndrome thyroid issues demodectic mange
allergies bloat and cruciate ligament
issues the average life expectancy of a
German Shepherd is between nine and
thirteen years sometimes longer when
properly cared for with this said the
breed is known to suffer from certain
hereditary and acquired health issues
which include hip and elbow dysplasia
pituitary dwarfism exocrine pancreatic
insufficiency degenerative myelopathy
bloating gastric torsion or epilepsy the
German Shepherd has pulled off an epic
comeback to level this out two rounds
each with a longer life expectancy and
fewer common health issues the fifth and
final round actual protection ability
the Connie Corso is a natural watchdog
which is a trait that is deeply embedded
in a dog’s psyche this together with
their need to protect an extreme levels
of strength and surprising agility makes
them formidable an impressive watch and
guard dogs that will put off any
wrongdoer from coming onto a property
that they live on and it would be a very
bad day for any bad guy who actually
tried to cross them German Shepherd dogs
make excellent watchdogs because their
need to protect as a trait that is
deeply embedded in the dog and why the
breed has always been so highly regarded
throughout the world extremely loyal and
intelligent the German Shepherd is not
only a great choice as a family pet
but they’re also extremely versatile in
a working environment – over the years
this breed has been used by police
forces in many countries and they play a
vital role in the army thanks to their
intelligence alertness resilient stamina
reliability and extraordinary scenting
skills so the final round of the final
contest ends in a brutally hard round –
George and it just so happens to be one
that decides the whole tournament the
German Shepherd is the better choice
when it comes to trained guarding and
IPO work however this round is more
about natural protection ability should
your family ever acquire it and imagine
it myself in that horrible scenario if
my children’s lives depended on it I’m
taking a carnie course Oh for the job so
the colleague also narrowly
contest three rounds to two and
therefore is officially crowned the
canine shows ultimate family guard dog
breed it was a valiant effort from the
German Shepherd and please don’t mistake
this outcome as me suggesting they
aren’t good family guard dogs as every
dog who competed in this tournament
