This article is about the standard quality of Cane Corso, but as quality has to be in many segments, this time I will talk about the perfect Cane Corso muzzle bridge.

Last time I talked about the ideal Cane Corso head profile. Including the general appearance of a dog and its head by profile view. As the head is the ID of a dog, first it was very important to make it simple and explain the main characteristics of the head profile, and what makes it ideal. This time we go further and for everybody who wants to learn. In real examples, I will show you what is the perfect nasal bridge, and what are examples of the wrong Cane Corso nasal bridge.

Perfect Cane Corso muzzle bridge

The perfect nasal bridge is straight and level with the horizontal plane. As you can notice in the photo. It’s only one correct line, there are not several which is good, but only one. This one. The nose is located on the end of the nasal bridge and in the same line as the nasal bridge. This makes a good convergence of the skull and muzzle if the muzzle is in good proportion with the head. Of course, if the stop is enough deep and occiput in the right place. But this and in details, I will talk about some of the upcoming articles – the convergence of the skull and muzzle.

The other types of nasal bridge

Here are 6 types of not perfect Cane Corso muzzle bridge which you can see in some dogs. None of the nasal bridges shown are correct, all wrong. It does affect the quality of Cane Corso. Sometimes it may even affect the other important segments which will produce less quality in general. Like the roman nose, a concave nose may produce the wrong convergence of the skull and muzzle.

When you are judging dogs and their quality. You have to take the whole dog and its quality and then make the classification about its quality. You can not judge a dog based on one wrong segment.

It is important to tell that the Cane Corso puppy is growing and changing, which means that some of the nasal bridge types if wrong when a puppy is. It does not mean that it will stay wrong or be right when an adult dog. The reputable and experienced Cane Corso breeders should know the genetics of their dogs and their bloodline, so we can tell you our prognosis and potential about the puppies.
