In this interaction between two males, the mixed breed
and the Cane Corso are engaged in competitive play. The
mixed breed arches his back and begins to attempt
mounting as the two dogs 'hug'; the Cane Corso exhibits
a jaw punch and, when the mixed breed again has four
paws on the ground, exhibits mounting.
The mixed breed exhibits a defensive threat display
(mouth open with commissures open and flews pulled
back). The two dogs face off, with the Cane Corso
exhibiting genital olfactory exploration, then licking
his nose before again exhibiting mounting.
