History of the breed

The breed was recently recognized by the Société Centrale Canine in 2003 and then obtained its definitive affiliation in 2012 by opening the Book of the Origins of the breed (LOF) and the genealogical follow-up. We have recorded its presence on the Isle of Beauty since the 16th century.

It is a rustic country dog. He accompanied the flocks and was the guardian of the sheepfold , or of the property. But it is also found in hunting action or as a warrior dog. The collapse of the pastoral world and the search for specialized dogs almost made it disappear. Fortunately, under the impetus of a handful of fans in 1984 the Cursinu conservation association was born and obtained the support of the Regional Natural Park of Corsica. The Island’s Hunting Federations take a safeguard action. It has become a real marker of Corsican identity and it is part of the living heritage.

The Cursinu is a versatile working dog . It is found in wild boar, fox and rabbit hunting, but it can also be used as a sheepdog or used for searching and taking free animals . The Cursinu is a loyal dog, but also very proud . He is very attached to his master and to close family. He is suspicious of strangers , which makes him an excellent watchdog.

He is calm and balanced , he knows how to take initiatives. He is courageous , dynamic and lively. He has always developed a strong capacity for adaptation. If he is well socialized at a very young age, he can easily accept all the other animals, cats, horses, ferrets… But only those in the house.

It is also found in wild boar hunters, in certain shepherds, but also in blood research, in the midst of horses, in caving (search for truffles). It can also be found in canicross, cani-vtt, mantrailing (search for missing persons) and agility activities.

Education

Clever
Obedient

Active and intelligent, the Cursinu must be educated in a positive and respectful manner . His susceptibility will make him a picky dog if you try to subdue him. It is essential from an early age to get used to natural monitoring and to look for you. He can go on a track quickly, but used to looking, he will find you without difficulty.

Living conditions

Suitable for apartment living
Good for new masters
Love it hot
Love the cold

If it is called upon to live in an apartment, the Cursinu must imperatively be walked for a long time, because it is more suited to living in outdoor spaces . Due to his past as a farm dog, he needs a lot of freedom of movement. A house with a large garden , but without forgetting the daily outings would therefore suit him perfectly.

The ideal living environment for this dog is the countryside . He will not leave his master for the world and could even find himself too much glue at times. So there is no need to leave him outside for a whole day . He will like the comfort of the interior, as long as his master is nearby.

Potential to play

The Cursinu should be taken out daily and have significant sniffing , running , or research activity . He needs to run, jump, and stay active. Letting it run behind duck birds is a great activity. But letting him dig a molehill is also a way of tiring him. Long walks in the forest or in nature will allow him to use all his energy to make a calm and calm dog when he comes home.
