Special Announcements

elcome to the CCAA! We are the Parent Breed Club for the Cane Corso in the United States of America. We wish to promote the Corso in a positive way and educate the public on the Cane Corso. The CCAA is a club where the advances of the breed are made in a civil, open situation following our constitution and the AKC's rules and regulations. Where compromise and working together, as a unified group, will let us reach our goals of bettering the breed. Every member is encouraged to get involved in Corso activities and CCAA functions.

The Cane Corso has been approved for the Miscellaneous Class of the AKC starting July 1st, 2008. We will be working hand in hand with the AKC working toward Full Recognition. We will be holding AKC Sanctioned Matches in accordance with AKC Rules and Regulations. This is the dawn of a new age of the Cane Corso in the United States.
