Cane Corxer

The Cane Corxer is a mix of two purebred breeds, the Cane Corso Italiano and the Boxer, and is a new hybrid.  There is little history available on the hybrid itself but there is some history available on the parent breeds.  The Cane Corso is a breed which originated in the remote villages in Italy where they were being utilized as hunting dogs, guard dogs and watchdogs.  There was some concern that the breed had become extinct until, in the 1980’s some breed fanciers regenerated the breed in southern Italy where it continues to flourish. The reputation of the breed and its popularity spread to Europe and eventually to the United States where it continues to be utilized not only in hunting, watching and guarding but also has gained some popularity in the conformation and other competitive canine activities. The Boxer breed originated in Germany where they were used to chase, catch and hold fierce wild game that included bear, boar and bison. These activities continued until 1815 when Germany’s grand hunting estates began to be broken up and the hunting tasks of this breed were no longer required. The Germans worked to keep the breed stabilized and eventually, the dogs were utilized during both World Wars as messengers and carriers of ammunition and supplies.  They continue to prosper today as guardians, watch and show dogs and family companions.  The Cane Corxer hybrid is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club and the Designer Breed Registry and is considered a hybrid because it is a result of breeding two purebred canine breeds.
