To not let dd 13 visit friend with a rescue

[Sneezygrumpydopey]

Crisp cane in the house.
I don’t know the parents anyway and I do not feel this breed of dogs are safe. DD literally hates me now as a few of them are going

Lol it took me a while as I thought she meant dog walkers

You should rephrase your title as ‘to not let DD visit a house with a cane corso’, OP. Big difference in that and a ‘normal’ rescue.

I certainly wouldn’t want myself or my DD in a house with one of those dogs, YANBU whatsoever. They are bred to be killing machines and more often than not the owners have 0 control over them.

But back to the subject, I would be very wary of a rescue Cane Corso. Can you talk to the parents and get an idea if they are sensible or not?

The utter arseholes who had XL Bullies near me have just got a Cane Corso after having their last XL PTS because they didn't want him to "live a restricted life". (Ie they didn't want the hassle of having to train it to wear a muzzle).

The CC is super strong and they can barely hold it. Fun times in our village. It's going to be the next "hard lad" dog.

I think that was part of the joke!!

That's the issue isn't it? They don't know the parents so they have no idea if they're responsible or not.

YANBU OP.

I'm a dog lover, we have 4, but I don't think you're being unreasonable.

Imo that breed of dog needs very experienced owners and definitely shouldn't be around children.

Sometimes being a parent means making decisions like this that your children really don't like at the time. As they get older, they'll understand, not that that helps you right now but keep it in mind.

Is your child dog aware? Children that understand dogs and won't loom over them, stare at them straight in the eye etc then fine. If she's a bit dippy and excitable and likely to throw herself down next to the dog for a hug then no.

Is wonder why the dog had been rehomed, and if it was proper rescue, I wouldn't have thought they'd rehomed a CC with a 13 year old

I’ve never heard of this breed so just Googled it. Why on Earth would anyone rescue a dog bred to be a guard dog? People are so stupid. I wouldn’t let my child anywhere near it and I’d ask the parents to not let her in if she ever turned up.
I would welcome / bribe all her mates to come to my house though.

They are incredibly powerful animals, perhaps the parents are very breed experienced but I’m surprised a rescue centre has rehomed to a home with children in it.

My local rescue wouldn’t home cane corse puppies actually born at the centre to families with children, never mind their mother.

I suspect, though of course could be wrong, that they’ve got this dog from pets4homes or similar, which really makes me doubt their critical thinking skills.

I wouldn’t want my child near that dog, I wouldn’t want to be around that dog myself.

Unfortunately there’s no doubt in my mind that this dog probably did come from a rescue. Most of our local ones are now overrun by XL bullies and similar dangerous breeds brought over to escape the ban in England. They are now crying out for donations as they have no space for any other dogs as (funnily enough) nobody in their right mind wants to adopt a bully. Boils my blood. So irresponsible

The breed tbh is a secondary consideration for me.

The first is that you do not know these people or how they handle, train or manage their dog.

These details could make a wide range of dogs a huge risk... or no risk at all.

This many times over.

I just googled this breed. You are absolutely right not to let your DD go to that house!

YANBU OP - no way. Don’t take risks with unknown dogs full stop, really.

However I’ve really come on here to say this really gave me a laugh. Crisp cane? Cane coral? I saw one of those Coral Crisp dogs the other day actually, terrifying.

🤣🤣🤣
