How Fast Do Cane Corsos Grow?

As a general rule Cane Corsos grow at a steady pace and need over a year to reach their full height and weight. They show consistent height and weight increments during their initial growth stage. 

Additionally, you can expect to see the most drastic changes in size during the first year of the breed’s life, after which you will only be able to note minor changes (if any) for the next few months. 

When Do Cane Corsos Stop Growing?

Cane Corsos (both male and female) will reach their maximum height and weight by the end of 19 months. In fact, there is very minimal growth (if any) that takes place during the last month of growth. Most Cane Corsos reach their full growth before the end of 19 months and will remain the same thereafter.

Cane Corso Puppy Growth Timeline

In the following sections, we will look at a comprehensive timeline of this breeds growth stages for both male and female Canes right from the stage of 2 months to the official end of its puppy stage at 12 months. 

However, remember that these sizes are prone to vary from dog to dog, so it really isn’t a big deal if your Cane Corso slightly falls short or exceeds the average height and weight measurements.
