well i have been reading a bunch about these dogs online. i have dog allergys but there not very bad, thats why i prefer short to long hair. the dog would be an outdoor dog when he gets older but as a puppy he woudl live indoors. i have read that these dogs are " light shedders compaired to dobermans or other breads that are "average" to "excesivly heavy shedder" like a malamute and husky.
James, is the only reason you want a CC is because of shedding??? I don't think they shed THAT much less than a Dobe. You probably wouldn't even notice the difference. If the shedding issue is your main concern for choosing a breed, I'd say get a Poodle, or anything doodle or oodle. They are bred for those exact reasons.
James-
I don't know much about the CC. But, I can address the alergy concern. One of my children was plagued with alergies (dog being one). In searching for the best breed to get for the children I went to our vet (these were pre email days).
The vet recommended the low shedders (the poodles, the schnauzers, and some terriers that non-shedding). Then he made a statement I'll never forget, "IT'S NOT THE SHEDDING THAT THE PROBLEM, IT'S THE DANDRUFF." He said there are no hypo-allergenic dogs.
I checked with allergist and he confirmed what vet said. This was 25 years ago so check it out with your Dr and Vet. Although, all those years have passes, I should think dander is still dander.

I own one James(click the link below). I must say that they shed just as much as dobies,rotties, etc... Also where do you live? extreem heat or cold are not the best things for these dogs.

My boyfriend is allergic to my dog. But we do fine with her. She gets baths often to keep the dandruff low, and we don't let her lick much at all, and we wash our hands very often while being around her.
I also vacuum pretty often, and wipe down surfaces.
He's allergic to her dander, and saliva. But he hardly has much of a reaction to her, with how we take care of it.
I don't bring her to his parents house at all, though, since his mom and his brother have worse reactions than he does.
edit :: it's all a matter of how much you'd be able to put up with until you knew how to control the allergens well enough. I'm very glad I'm not allergic, but if I was, I'd be wearing a mask and safety glasses just to still be around my pup if I had to.
I don't know where you live but just a word of caution. A dog like that left outside will attrack thugs that will want to fight or use yours as training for theirs to fight. That is a problem with any bully type breed.

Cane corso is not for a first time owner. They are big powerful breed so they demand more work to train and handle. I know met a few one at the ARBA shows. They are somewhat similar to Presa Canario in temperament. They do shed a lot and aren't good for people with allergies.

If you aren't too embarrassed to own a doodle, this would be the type of dog to get. I don't have dander allergies but I can tell you that I have four dogs and the only one who doesn't shed is my Goldendoodle. Her mother is a standard Poodle and her daddy is a Golden Retriever. The only time I ever get any hair from her is when I brush her tail and ears. The hair from the other three dogs would 'build' a whole new dog!!!
Not only do Poodles and Poodle mixes not shed (depending on what the Poodle is bred with), Poodles are pretty intelligent, quick learners, love to play in the water but mine is extremely stubborn. If I let her hair grow out, her hair is long and wavy and she looks really cute. When the hair is short, she looks like a Poodle with a plume tail.
