I had a cane corso mate and I will have one again not as big as people think size of a lab with the bonus of natural guarding instinct and looks to deter, sound around kids, easily trainable and good hunting instincts with plenty of stamina you could easily train it along side your spaniels there a man in Scotland that uses his for deer stalking and tracking. There’s a few men in England with decent stock not the usual shite you see knocking about.
