I have owned both a male Akita and a female Cane Corso. My Akita, was like excellent hired help. My Corso just loved every body and other animals..Her affection was unbelievable, his nowhere near as much. She was love with 4 legs.

I am still confused because this says Akita’s drool more than a Cane Corso and other people have said that is not true. They basically are saying these 2 dogs are the same in about every area! Every sight I researched has different ideas of the breeds!
