Official UK Collaboration Partner of the ICCF
CCBC UK provides it at an international level
UK Representation with Global Alignment
The Cane Corso Breed Club UK (CCBC UK) is officially affiliated with the International Cane Corso Federation (ICCF), the international body dedicated to preserving, protecting, and regulating the Cane Corso breed worldwide.
This affiliation formally recognises CCBC UK as the only UK breed club operating in collaboration with the ICCF, ensuring that the Cane Corso in the United Kingdom is represented, guided, and developed in alignment with internationally recognised standards.
This is not a symbolic partnership. It is a working relationship built on shared values, responsibility, and long-term breed stewardship.
What This Affiliation Means
Affiliation with the ICCF connects the UK Cane Corso community to a wider international framework focused on breed integrity, health, and purpose. It ensures that standards are not diluted, trends are challenged, and decisions are guided by knowledge rather than popularity.
Through this collaboration, CCBC UK works to uphold consistency between UK practice and global expectations, while still addressing the specific needs of owners, breeders, and dogs within the UK.
