I have something to say, and I hope everyone reads. I have repeatedly said that I am a relatively newbie with regard to this wonderful breed. There are a lot of things to which I am completely ignorant. I openly admit that. I am in no ones camp here. Well, only the Cane Corso camp. I have no allegiance to anyone, except the breed. This mudslinging/threats/bullshit that is going on is embarrassing. Its embarrassing to me. Its a black eye on the breed. I dont know who started this shit. Dont care. There are a lot of people who have literally given blood, sweat, and tears for this breed. There are a lot of people who would like to do so in the coming years. We have collaboratively achieved great things with this breed....THE BREED. There are even better things on the horizon as people recognize the magnificence of the breed. This wouldnt be possible without the trail blazed by those who started doing things with Corsos. It wouldnt be possible without those who continued to carry that torch. It wouldnt be possible without young, new folks who not only want to foster whats been accomplished...but even add more chapters to this book. I absolutely love this breed. Im confident that everyone here does. Arent we all about being stewards for the breed? Arent we all about preservation of the breed? Or even better, betterment of the breed? I hope so. I sincerely hope so. But here is what I can tell you....all this turmoil and bickering IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BREED. Again, Im not on one side or another. Just the Corso side. I dont care who did what. Dont care who said what. Dont care who started what. I am just sick of seeing all the negative bullshit. SICK OF IT! I dont expect apologies from anyone. I wouldnt know anything about that. I dont expect certain parties to sit by a campfire and roast marshmallows while singing a good ole campfire song. I really dont expect anything. I understand there are strong personalities involved here, just like everything in life. I dont expect, but I genuinely hope that we can just drop all this negative BS and enjoy/develop/love this breed. Anything that is going on that shouldnt be will eventually be worked out. Its like homeostasis. There are some wonderful people involved with all aspects of this breed. Corrections will be made, if needed....in whatever aspect of whatever. Like I said, I am new to the Corso world. But I am also very well connected to the dog world. People are shaking their heads and saying embarrassing things about what is currently going on with us. Yes, US! Like it or not, we are in this together. I dont enjoy being grouped with this negative stuff/politics/whatever that is suffocating our breed. I dont enjoy being embarrassed. Lots of you guys have forgotten more than I will likely ever know about the Cane Corso. I am a young, new Corso guy. But I see big things ahead. Big things need to start now with letting bygones be bygones. Please guys. Please. Just let it go. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow is a great day for the Corso. Lets enjoy it. Please!
