The mission of the Cane Corso Breed Club UK (CCBC UK) is to protect the Cane Corso through education, responsible ownership, and clear, consistent standards.

We exist to support informed decision-making, promote welfare-led practices, and safeguard the long-term future of the breed in the United Kingdom. Our focus is not growth or popularity, but stability, integrity, and accountability.

Welfare Before Popularity

Every decision made by CCBC UK places the welfare of the dog above trends, aesthetics, or public appeal. A breed’s future is determined by the quality of care it receives, not the size of its audience.

Education Before Acquisition

We believe understanding must come before ownership. Prospective owners should be equipped with honest, practical information about the Cane Corso’s needs, temperament, and responsibilities before acquiring a dog.

Responsibility Over Convenience

Owning a Cane Corso requires time, structure, and long-term commitment. CCBC UK promotes ownership that prioritises consistency, training, and accountability over convenience or impulse.

Transparency Over Gatekeeping

Clear standards and open guidance protect the breed more effectively than closed circles or informal rule-setting. CCBC UK values transparency, fairness, and clarity in how expectations are set and upheld.

Long-Term Thinking

The Cane Corso is a breed shaped by purpose and history. Decisions made today should strengthen the breed for generations to come, not solve short-term issues at the expense of future stability.

These principles shape how CCBC UK approaches education, events, partnerships, and future initiatives. They inform how we support owners, how we frame responsibility, and how we advocate for the breed in a changing regulatory and social landscape.

Our aim is to create a knowledgeable, accountable community that protects both the Cane Corso and the people committed to owning them responsibly.
