Host Joe @NWACaneCorsos discusses Mr. Morales' @presacanariodelosmorales4252 approach to breeding and raising Presa Canario dogs. Some of the main points include:
Mr. Morales is very selective when choosing breeding dogs, looking for specific traits like guarding instinct and prey drive. He prefers to let the dogs show these traits naturally rather than training them.
He aims to build a "family" of Presa Canarios by carefully selecting dogs with similar ancestry and gradually breeding them over multiple generations to reinforce desirable characteristics.
Mr. Morales is highly critical of irresponsible breeders who produce "mixed" or unhealthy dogs, often by crossing different breeds. He stresses the importance of pedigree, genetic testing, and preserving the true traits of the breed.
He shares insights into his own breeding program, including using inbreeding strategically and maintaining very high coefficients of inbreeding (over 60%) without seeing major health issues.
Mr. Morales emphasizes the need for prospective owners to be carefully vetted and have the right temperament to handle the protective nature of Presa Canarios, as he will not sell to anyone he deems unfit.
The text provides a detailed look at Mr. Morales' meticulous, purist approach to Presa Canario breeding and his commitment to preserving the breed's original working traits.
