Conformation
Good angulation, maybe a wee bit overangulated behind, lots of chest and fill, thick neck,
bitchy but nice and correct head, good topline but would like to see a rounder croup.
Strong boned but not large or small; in between. Medium amount of tuck with lots of skin
there. A fair bit of flews and jowl. She drools a lot. She and Zac are similar but you can
definitely tell she is the "sister," not just in size but her overall conformation is very
feminine in comparison to her bro. I love her!

Description of Temperament
Adora has very high drive. She is constantly moving, always "go go go." I can't imagine her
ever being fat. She is heavily bred on Zakhar, who was an excellent example of the Cane
Corso breed, not only physically but mentally, a beautiful worker with deep bite, more aim
to please than I've ever seen, quick obedience, beautiful at obedience and verbal control,
very intelligent and discerning, very stable and predictable, and not handler hard. Adora is
very alike to Zakhar in these ways but she is quite a bit more spirited in nature and intense
than Zak was. She is courageous and will easily jump over the creek or run across the wobbly
log bridge at the playground. She goes down slides, climbs over unstable wood or rock piles
without issue; she doesn't appear to worry about falling or slipping.

In public, like walking downtown when it's busy, she sticks by me, not because she's fearful,
but because she's rather protective. However, it's a calm, cool, collected type of protective and
not something I am at all worried about bringing into a crowd. She loves children and most
people. One time I was walking her and Zaccaro (her brother) downtown after sundown because
it had cooled down and was a perfect temperature to go for a stroll. Plus it's nice down there,
usually. I don't like to go down there alone though. There was a group of large men on the other
side of the street who saw me and started hollering, whistling, the like. I just rolled my eyes and
kept going. The dogs stared at them; didn't take their eyes off them. The men kept going with
their ways, beginning to say sexual things, and I actually started to feel threatened. The dogs
picked up on that IMMEDIATELY and I saw it: their hackles raised, ears forward, tail up, into their
intense mode. I heard two deep, throaty woofs from Adora and Zaccaro was silent, puffing
himself up like a bear.

I heard one of the guys say, "Oh, isn't that cute!" And I just had to smile. Big tough guys -- there's
only a dark street in between these teeth and you. I said, "Why don't you guys come over here and
meet my dogs?" They exchanged glances and were quiet. "Leave me alone or I will call the police..."
I said, trying to act confident; though, I wasn't confident in myself at that moment but I was
confident in my dogs. Zaccaro growled. The men just laughed. I then yelled, "Or, if you prefer, I'll
let my dogs loose!" They went quiet again and walked the other way.

I was SO thankful I had these two with me. I would have felt protected even with Adora with me,
but Zaccaro's sheer size and presence just makes the two together feel like body guards.
That's what they are.
