I just can not believe that in this day and age, people still think it necessary to crop dogs' ears; this abhorrent practice has been illegal since i don't know when, so surely anyone who does have their dog's ears cropped has to have it done illegally (by whom, I wonder - and maybe without anasthetic) and thus draws attention to the fact that the dog may be used for illegal purposes ie fighting.

Why do such people want to draw attention to themselves and their illegal activities, I'd like to know.

We have been approached by a few people now who say they think he is a Cane Corso, if anyone has any idea or knowledge of the breed we would be most grateful. I know its an Italian Mastiff and that about it.

Would it not be possible to contact the Kennel Club to find someone who either breeds or judges the Cane Corso, and get them to examine Cooper to see whether, in their opinion, he is a C. C. or not?

Obviously he wouldn't have a set of pedigree papers to go with him to his forever home but at least you'd have some idea of what he is!

This is just a suggestion, though.

Thanks for your suggestions I have sent some pics of him to the British Cane Corso society for their opinion, but your right whether he is a Dogue De Bordeaux cross staff or Cane Corso, he is handsome!

Thought I should update Coops thread as its been over 2 months now.

Cooper continues to do very well, we have been through some ups and downs with him. He ran out of the park about 3 weeks ago with my husband and it took him over 10 mins to catch him! Over the last 3 weeks we have been doing recall work everyday and concentrated walking on the lead, where he has to earn his freedom off lead by showing complete follower mode on lead.

This is having a great impact on the walk and he will now not walk infront of me off the lead unless he is given the ok.

We have also been taking him to a local dog park which has an enclosed area for dogs, after a walk on the lead around the perimeter of the lakes we take him for doggy time in the area. This is great for his socialising and adds more fans to the Cooper fan club!

I think I have found what cross he is. breeders are now crossing a Bullmastiff and Dogue de Bordeaux and calling them The Bully Bordeaux, here is a pic of one I think is Cooper with ears!!

And here is an up to date pic of our boy on his way back from the park.

YES! The breed mix makes sense as he was named Bully

Cooper is stunningly beautiful..he never ceases to amaze me with his looks. He also has a 'human' feel
