THE PRESA CANARIO DOG YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS A PRESA

Traditionally used for herding cattle, its intimidating appearance and hyper-awareness make the Presa Canario an ideal guard dog. Also known as the "Canary Dog of Prey," the breed is said to date back to the 15th and 16th centuries after the conquest of the Canary Islands when larger dogs would serve the very important roles of guarding farms, working cattle, and even exterminating wild or stray dogs.

"By socializing, I don't mean letting people come touch your dog, pet your dog...Socializing to me is being around people...So they don't have to be super friendly, but they do have to know to remain neutral around crowds and people" No lies told 💯

[@paulafernandes6875]

Absolutely socializing your dog to behave in all situations saves the dogs life if they bite something they could be put down to me a dog without fear and good manners good health and no hip problems is a must for all of that...I mean to me a beautiful dog don't have to be a show type looking dog for it to be perfect in my eyes I like the bigger than average but temperament health and confidence is my check list

[@rubencampos6935]

I agree 💯% with the socialization of the dog staying neutral around crowds and people and not allowing random people just come touch the dog, I feel that it could mess with the protection side of training.

A good presa is a beautiful thing! I have owned many corsos, bandogs, boerboels, dogos and other mastiff types and I found the presa was by far the best as a working dog with great confidence and power. I plan to own one again when I decide to own another mastiff type dog

[@topacybits3576]

[@jfkst1]

What did you find made the Presa unique above other similar breeds? I have a bandog and I'm somewhat unimpressed with them for protection work. Makes me skeptical of any catch dog type for protection work.

[@CompleteK9Canada]

@@jfkst1 unfortunately bandogs nowadays are being bred by so many from not so great blood. So many purchase them for protection and find out they are just not what they are hyped up to be. Just like most protection type breeds. What I found in the few presas I did have and 1 presa x ab was incredible nerves from day 1, no fear periods at all. Nerves are probably the hardest thing to breed for in any breed and definitely lacking in mastiff types. The presa reminds me of a perfect bull mastiff type. Drivey and tenacious like a bulldog with similar gripping traits and a good amount of defense. I found they were easy to do protection with, and didn’t require lots of building up like some of the other breeds I have owned and shut off nicely when done.

Just lost my 12st pressa to heat stroke ,in England we don't usually get temperatures over 80 and we have just had a heat wave near 100° and even though I didn't take her out in the day, she was allowed to go in and out as she pleases, it's broken me I'm hurting hard ,raised her from 7 weeks, she was only 3 and just got her perfect and she had found her place . I'm a master carpenter/joiner and I can build, fix,modify most things but I couldn't fix and repair my big girl got her perfect, she was badass and she's gone for ever ,never coming back and I can't do anything to change it still hoping to wake up from a really bad dream.

I rescued a brindle puppy that was supposedly a "great dane". Turns out he's a 60%Presa 38% American Bulldog and 1%Mastiff %1 Boxer. Never heard of the Presa Breed before adopting him.

They can have a longer lifespan than other mastiff types. Large dogs can still live a long time. Tibetan mastiffs can live up to 14+, many other LGD types live longer because they were not ruined by shows they are bred for work which needs health and a structure that isn't over done.

The Fci is based in Brussels but the standard was written in Spain, and translated into English by Spanish people. Dogo Canario and Presa Canario are the same breed. I guess piebald was always in the breed, those dogs are just not shown but are being bred so that's why the colour keeps popping up. Blue probably comes from cane corso, neo, great dane or amstaff

The only reason they changed the name 'presa' to 'dogo' is because presa means 'biting dog' or 'gripping dog' and that was not politically correct ...

Yo Zeke Nice Work!! You know this video is going to have some colorful remarks... That's why I'm staying in my lane within the breed. So many unofficial experts, if you have not been around this breed for several years you'll probably get caught up in the "I'm right group". Color has been one the issues that has made some kennels do a 180 on trying breed out the blue, gray, and white in the presa's coat. You know a Presa when you see one!! This is my breed choice. I've had presa's since 2009. I've been around the breed and researching the breed since early 1998. I've been through 11 presa's. Most of them are still within my family. I currently have two males. one 8yr and one that will soon be 4yrs old and NO I NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE TOGETHER WHEN WE LEAVE THE HOUSE. Don't get caught up in the hype, especially if you're not working this breed. Do your home work and talk to different breeders. Talk with the trainers who've been doing protection work with this breed. Most of them will tell you the truth. There's a lot of dogs labeled protection line but I've seen a decoy make a Presa run off and leave his owner. That guy has a much better presa now. LOL!! I'm just saying I've had some very good presa's and I've had some not so good. Know what you want your dog to do. Then get help getting your dog there. A good trainer will train you and help you communicate with your dog
