We Got A Presa Canario For The Wrong Reasons

[@x26point2milesx]

I have a 14 week old Presa. These videos make understanding the breed so much more relatable. Everything online is bite work, training and them growling at fences. Your family showed the breed from a different perspective. I’ve also loved watching Commander grow up! Wish we got more content! Thank you so much!

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Erik you have no idea how that confirmation makes us feel. We saw that there was nothing really like this out there for those of us who considered making a Presa our family dog. It's an honor that our experience has helped in so many people's Presa journey. Thanks for supporting the channel. More content is on the way!!

[@theootis2569]

I used to help my cousin at his kennel with his saint bernards and boxers. But my first owned dog is a presa canario too. Im not saying that the first time owners cannot handle the breed, but you have to be a leader for sure. This is a smart and a loyal breed. I love commander. He is one of the best looking and behaving presa.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Hi Manjinder!! Yes leadership is very important with this breed!! Thank you for following Commander and our channel!!

[@curleex3838]

Im English and i lost my dog last year after many urs of happiness wild stealth camping and hiking etc, i live on my own and my dog was my bestie, i was gutted tbh when he passes away and felt so lost and alone and then early this year my brother turned up with a puppy Presa Canario for me! Harry is my first Presa but ive had large breed dogs my whole 54yrs of life and i wish i knew about this breed earlier. Harry is now 7months old and he's over 40k and stands 28inches at the shoulder already, he's HUGE and a fine specimen for the breed. He's a big goofy and loving dog, the most affectionate sog ive ever owned tbf, he is a great guard watch dog to, loves children but he is definatly wary of strange adults and will stand off sussing them out. He makes my life full and pushes me to go for walks and hikes but he's equally happy chillin on the couch watching Lassie movies with some treats.... ✌💙✊🇬🇧

[@theronyoumans1383]

That’s the reason I subbed, to see how the breed interacts with children. Great dog and great job you all seem to be doing.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Thanks Theron! We are gonna put together a video of Commander with the kids just for you bro! Get ready!!

[@sebastiandick5896]

Really nice to see a Presa Canario video without biting someone's arm or leg. I picked mine up 5 weeks ago, he is now 13 weeks. He is also growing up in the family, in the house, with another dog and so on. We are in a dog school and have now started doing basic obedience. Let's see what challenges come our way, definitely a great breed. I wish all Presa owners a lot of fun and stamina to accompany a great dog growing up.

[@5TheHardWay]

I got my presa canario at 6 weeks old in march 2023 she is now 9 weeks and she's BIG!! I am a first time dog owner and I love my dog I consider myself to be an excellent strong leader so will see how it goes but once she's fully vaccinated I'll also be putting her in training.. No one really knows about this breed... everyone thinks she's a cane Corso... I'm going off of my own learning experience as well as reading up on this breed and watching videos as well as your videos...I have 4 babies youngest being 5 and she loves them again I'm learning as I go...I agree most videos and research doesn't say much about this breed being a family dog but I think if you get them young the entire family as well as the dog will adapt even though she's still a baby she's already protective...I think it has alot to do with their environment and their owner(s)

Much appreciated Josmayky!! Thanks for kind remarks and we are grateful for your support on the channel!!

[@DB-jj9qp]

What breeder or kennel, did you buy your presa from ? Also how much did he cost you ? Beautiful presa & great temperament

[@cassiesmith1814]

I didn’t choose her, but I want to be the best leader that I can be for her. She’s so smart, has learned all the basic commands...but leash walking is no fun. She’s super aware of everything, we have to stop and watch when the wind blows or when people walk by.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

So Commander is still no angel on a leash so I feel you! We felt the same way. What we found is that utilizing a prong collar has been super effective. Also, doing daily drills. It's okay in our experience to give command overload for short 10 or 15 minute segments. Also don't let your Presa make ANY decisions. If they go left you take them right. If they pull forward you stop them for a sit. In due time they will understand all decisions come from you. It is a process but your consistency and commitment will prove successful!! Hope that helps!!

That’s the same way I feel about dogo argentinos. I want a fawn brindle presa, or reverse brindle. That black snout kills me!!! Love these dogs!

I totally love the black mask!! Dogo Argentinos are beautiful and amazing dogs!! I love learning about them!! Thanks for watching!

[@EUU100]

The challenge and natural guardian instincts is the same reason I'm interested in the presa but also the American akita. I'm down for the challenge

[@cristinacruz2748]

Excellent video guys. My presa is 1.5yr old now. Would you say a prong collar has given you more control on walks? Im thinking of getting one.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Hi Cristina! Absolutely the prong collar has been super effective. I would recommend it. Also, doing daily drills. It's okay in our experience to give command overload for short 10 or 15 minute segments. Also don't let your Presa make ANY decisions. If they go left you take them right. This is just advice that has been passed on to us from more experienced Presa owners. Thanks for supporting the channel.

Presa are great with children i have siblings from same litter there 5 months now also have two kids 3 n 5 and there great together

[@rackemwells]

How do you feel Commander responds best, be it food, treats, toys, or affection? Does he tend to respond better to one of you guys and has he gravitated to either of you for certain things and treats you both different?

[@paullucas7460]

I have always had big dogs and I've been wanting a presa my last dog just passed a year ago at 15 yrs. we had him since he was a puppy he was a well behaved great family dog, he was a lab akita mix he weighed 108 lbs. how much of a difference do I have to prepare for ?

[@cassiesmith1814]

I’ve had my Presa since she was 2 weeks. She 3 months now. I miss being able to pick her up with one hand and snuggle her. She still lets me pick her up and she’ll put her head on my neck. I know it won’t last long though. Lol

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Yes Cassie!!! Cherish the moment lol! The snuggles may never stop but they just get really big really quick!! Thanks for watching!

[@brianlitecky9798]

Presas will always maintain some puppiness and know all to well how to be cute and or precocious.

[@ashleefreed8242]

I want one i love the guard instinct in them no one will try to break in or try to steal stuff out of your car or your garage or yard but that not the only reson I want one but they are badass dogs everyone thinks they have pit bull in them because of there ears being crop

I have a 8 month old presa my brother is ussuly the one who does the main things with him but he’s awesome such a great companion and he likes to pee on everything just like commander I’m 13 and he listens to me just as perfect to anyone else you just have to build that trust.

[@dagodlypug2399]

@@ranveerguraya6940 that’s so nice! Presas are my favorite dog breed. Can I ask, how did you convince your parents to get one. I am also 13 and my parents aren’t letting me. I have a yorkie that I love so much, but I want a Presa so he can be my companion and guard, and my yorkie’s too. Anyway, good luck with your Presa, I hope he is a great boy.

[@raymondsimentel2166]

Liked your video, new to your channel, would like to know what breeder you used, and costs of your breeder, I will say stable temperament calm demeanor in Presa Canario is the first trait that’s most important, I’ve seen other breeders all over this country who don’t have that calm stable temperament, you obviously found a good breeder, would like some info if you can. Thank you

[@act1460]

What are the daily exercise requirements of a dog this size?

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Great question!! For a Presa Canario I was told 3 hours of daily activity. They have a really big prey drive to satisfy. Sometimes its a hour long walk, Sometimes its free yard time. Sometimes we get the flirt pole out. I really wish Commander had a companion. Coming soon!!

Exactly. Too many videos of presas being aggressive. Nice to see a family dog. I've been borderline because of this. Now I'm sure the presa is right for me after my doberman goes to heaven.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

Yes we have been blessed by this whole experience. There is still a ton to learn of course but seeing this breed in the home setting is pretty. We are glad to share it with everyone. Also we love Dobermans!!

[@rl2862]

The Perro De Presa Canario is still very much an inconsistent breed. Not saying this in a bad way... But the reality remains. Different lines of Presas are inclined to have different temperaments / characteristics. Potential buyers should ask about the lines and figure out what their parents / ancestors have been doing and are inclined to do. Results may vary - Presas can be great dogs, as well as liabilities.

[@presadentialcommander3649]

You are on point RL! We couldn't agree more. I think we have been blessed so far with Commander and an experienced support system. Without that we would be struggling badly I'm sure. And I know for sure we are not out of the woods yet as he is transitioning to adulthood. Thanks for sharing and watching our video!

Got a Presa around the same time and it’s definitely the most challenging dog I’ve owned. I spent over $5k to import him and now I’m about to do another $2900 To get him in boarding. They are simply majestic beast and it’s like owning a grizzly bear on a leash.
