Besides Price...what's The Difference Between These Machines?

Good guess, but no. The Cane Corso is a registered pure breed dog that is reproduced on the merits of papers. As much as it SHOULD matter what the dog can do, the vast majority of the general public that owns and breeds does does not require anything more from their dogs before breeding them. This is why so many breeds of dogs today are very unhealthy and/or none functional. I have worked a bunch of Cane Corsos and unfortunately they can not live up to the performance the breed is known for. They are kind of like calling a Singer 15-91 an "industrial sewing machine."

The breed we deal with is a recreation of the OLD STYLE working Bandog (or Bullmastiff)...where performance and health are more important than appearance. Now, don't get me wrong, I like a good looking dog too, but I have to have function first. This is the way I view almost anything I spend time on. There are many working/protection breeds in existence today, but most are not good family dogs because tey are either 1. too hyper all the time, or 2. have rank/dominance issues making them less suitable around children. I wanted a family guardian.

My master's degree is in Animal Sciences, and I have spent the last 12+ years recreating these dogs. I used to refer to our dogs as Swinford Bandogs, but recently we changed the breed name to American Sentinel Canine.
