CCBC UK Core values
-

A Breed That Requires More
The Cane Corso Is Not a Casual Breed
The Cane Corso is an intelligent, powerful guardian breed shaped by purpose. It requires informed ownership, clear leadership, and consistent training and management.CCBC UK promotes honest conversations about suitability and responsibility. We do not dilute the reality of the breed to increase popularity. Doing so fails the dog, the owner, and the wider public.
Membership supports clarity over convenience.
-

Education Over Ego
Knowledge Before Ownership
Many of the challenges facing the breed today stem from poor information, unrealistic expectations, and ego-driven decisions.CCBC UK places education at the centre of everything it does. We focus on breed-specific knowledge covering temperament, health, training, and suitability, helping owners make informed, responsible choices.
Membership supports a culture where learning is prioritised and accountability is expected.
-

Independent, Standards-Led Governance
Built on Standards, Not Popularity
CCBC UK operates independently, with transparent governance and a clear ethical framework.We are not driven by trends or social media reach. Decisions are made with the long-term welfare of the breed in mind, even when those decisions are uncomfortable.
Membership supports an organisation willing to lead responsibly rather than chase approval.
-

Connected to the Breed’s Global Standard
CCBC UK is the only UK Cane Corso club affiliated with the International Cane Corso Federation (ICCF).This affiliation ensures alignment with internationally recognised breed standards, welfare priorities, and ethical guidance, while maintaining independent governance within the UK.

Supporting Rescue Through Strength, Not Sentiment
Rescue Backed by Structure

Stronger membership means greater influence, better resources, and a more sustainable future for Cane Corso rescue in the UK.
