Corsengi Temperament and Behaviour
The Corsengi is a sweet and devoted dog that makes a great companion. They are gentle, patient, and sensitive. They are typically very attached to their family, and may not do well if left alone for long periods of time. They are moderately active, but enjoy playing as much as sleeping. They get along well with children and other pets, and are easy to train.
Corsengi Activity Requirements
Corsengis, or Central Asian Shepherd Dogs, are a breed of livestock guardian dog from Kyrgyzstan. They are known for their distinctive looks, loyal personality, and high energy. As with all herding and livestock guardian dogs, Corso puppies require early socialization and training. They also need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They are best suited to homes with room to roam and plenty of opportunity to interact with their people. Corsos are not a “couch potato” type of dog. They need lots of space, but they will also benefit from activities that stimulate their mind. A job or task, such as agility or obedience, will help keep these intelligent and high-energy pups out of trouble.
