Introducing Potato, our largest and most dominant Formentino male in the litter. Do not let the name fool you. This pup brings real Corso presence: heavy bone, bold confidence, and natural leadership. Potato is the kind of puppy that turns heads now and grows into the kind of adult that makes people cross the street with respect.
This is not a puppy for a passive household. Potato is for an owner who wants a true Cane Corso and is willing to provide structure, boundaries, and consistent training. In the right hands, he will become an exceptional companion and serious guardian prospect.
What sets Potato apart
Largest of the litter, thick build, strong frame, and big presence
Dominant temperament, naturally assertive and confident
Formentino coat with a premium, standout look
Bold, forward energy, the type that thrives with leadership and purpose
Built for function and power, not just a pretty picture
The Testudo difference
At Testudo Corso Kennel, we do not raise puppies like inventory. We raise them with a system designed to produce stable, capable Corsos that transition smoothly into the right homes. Our program emphasizes:
Daily handling and early routine exposure to build confidence and stability
Structured socialization, not uncontrolled chaos
Temperament-based placement, because the right match is everything
Straight communication and long-term support before and after pickup
You are not just buying a puppy. You are joining a kennel that takes the breed seriously and stands behind its dogs.
Ideal home for Potato
Potato is best suited for:
An experienced large-breed owner, or a committed first-time Corso home willing to train correctly
A household that values structure, obedience work, and leadership
Families looking for a Corso with real presence and guardian potential
An owner who understands a dominant puppy needs rules, routine, and follow-through
If you want the biggest, boldest Formentino male, and you want a Corso that has the raw material to become something special, Potato is that dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Cane Corso Puppies
About Cane Corso Puppies
What's the personality of a Cane Corso?
Cane Corsos are giant dogs with strong instincts to love and protect. They’re affectionate and playful with their owners, but if a stranger infringes on their family or territory, prepare for a scary showdown. When these dogs go into protection mode, they mean business. Full-grown, they typically weigh 88-110 pounds and stand 23-28 inches tall.
Can Cane Corsos live with cats and other dogs?
Cane Corsos are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Cane Corsos are calm, loyal, and affectionate toward their family, but they need to be watched around smaller kids because of their size. They should be socialized at an early age to minimize aggression with strangers and other dogs, but even with training, Cane Corsos may be on edge around those they don’t know. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How do I keep a Cane Corso physically active?
The Cane Corso is an athletic breed that needs a lot of exercise. They have a great deal of stamina, which makes them great companions for walks, long jogs, or hikes. These pups are big and strong, so if you allow them to live or play in a yard, make sure it has a secure fence to avoid escapes. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What kind of coat care does a Cane Corso require?
The Cane Corso has short, dense, stiff fur in black, gray, fawn, or stripes. They also can have a black or grey muzzle or white markings on their chest and feet. Cane Corsos are light shedders, so they don’t need much grooming. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Are Cane Corsos easy to train?
Cane Corsos are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Due to their large build, these dogs are not a good fit for apartments. They’re content living indoors or outdoors as long as they have enough interaction and a safe place to stay. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
