What a Cane Corso’s height measures

The American Kennel Club measures height at the withers, the top of the shoulders. Its standard gives 25 to 27.5 inches for males and 23.5 to 26 inches for females. The drawing uses the top of the male range.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (27.5 in), the Cane Corso is the joint 38th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 27.5 in: Bernese Mountain Dog, Broholmer and Komondor. Same drawing, different listings: a Cane Corso’s and a Bernese Mountain Dog’s figures are each the top of its male range, a Broholmer’s the lower end of its range, a Komondor’s a minimum.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
