Love Island star Jack Fincham's 'killing machine' dog that bit two people is 'number one breed to avoid,' says expert

Love Island's Jack Fincham has been sentenced to six weeks in jail after his Cane Corso, a breed likened to "battle tanks" by experts, attacked a man.He is also ordered to pay £3,580 in court costs, including £250 compensation to two victims, following incidents where his dog Elvis bit people.Cane Corsos, which can weigh up to eight stone and reach 28 inches in height, have gained popularity with celebrities like Fincham and Marcus Rashford owning them, reports the Express.Many of these dogs are imported from Romania, where ear cropping and tail docking are common practices, despite being illegal in the UK.

Unlike XL bullies, Cane Corsos face no similar restrictions and are legal in Britain. However, dog expert Garret Wing took to social media to caution against the Italian mastiff breed, labelling it as the "number one dog breed we do not recommend for families".He highlighted their size, stating: "That is too much dog for about 99.9 per cent of folks.

And that's coming from us, not only as professional dog trainers, but owners of the Cane Corso. They are absolute battle tanks and you don't need that in your suburban neighbourhood." Fellow professional dog trainer Will Atherton expressed his love for Cane Corsos but echoed Wing's warning to parents."I love mastiff breeds," he expressed. "They are definitely not suitable for first-time owners or many families, like the Labrador is, but they do provide a really unique bond and relationship, and guarding skills that I love."Top-tier footballers such as Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker have invested in guard dogs.

Marcus Rashford even flaunted his Cane Corso on Instagram, who he called The Saint, back in 2018, which may have set him back up to £25,000.Rob Alleyne from the
