The name "Perro de Presa Canario" means "Canarian catch dog." A “catch dog” is specially trained to apprehend large animals while protecting livestock, during hunting and in baiting sport (which is illegal in most countries). As with other types of catch dogs, the Presa Canario uses its teeth and weight to immobilize animals to keep them at bay until they can be managed by humans.As pets, Presa Canarios can be exceptionally loyal and loving, but must have strong owners who are willing to step in as the “leader of the pack,” or "alpha dog" of the family. Further, family members who interact with a Presa Canario on a regular basis must also be willing to adopt a rather dominating personality.

Although the Presa Canario does not respond well to physical punishment, it absolutely must have a strong owner around it at all times. If handled improperly or too weakly by a meek owner, Presa Canarios can actually become dangerous. Therefore, this is a breed you should not take on as a pet owner unless you're absolutely sure YOU have the temperament to do so.History Presa Canarios originated in the Canary Islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, in the Canary Archipelago. In fact, this was known as the "Island of the dogs.” Visiting merchants, English colonists and traders brought the “bandog” to the island. These were mixed-breed working dogs predominantly of mastiffs and bull breeds. The Bullmastiff and Dogue De Bordeaux are two types of bandogs. Shortly after, the English brought Mastiffs, Bulldogs, and Bull Terriers to the island and began to crossbreed with the Canary Islands' existing Perro de Presa Canarios. "Presa" means "hold" or "grip," in reference to the Presa Canarios' purpose as catch dogs.

Farmers in the Canary Islands ultimately used the Presa Canario as a guard dog for their homes, families, livestock and farms. Rural Development Homes For Sale Knoxville TnThey also used them to help subdue cattle for the purpose of butchering. Car Rental Cayman Islands Andy'SLater on, they were used in dogfighting until that pursuit was outlawed. Hud Homes For Sale In Clayton NcThis led to the breed’s dwindling numbers until just a few were left. These were used to catch and hold cattle as well as to function as farmers’ guard dogs as they always had.Beginning in the early 1970s, those who valued the Presa Canario sought to preserve its heritage and to restore the breed to its former pinnacle. Throughout the next 10 years or so, breeders began to explore traditional examples of the Presa Canario, seeking to resurrect the original dogs' instincts to guard.

They also attempted to bring out the most positive characteristics of temperament and courage by using careful combinations of the American Pit Bull Terrier; the American Staffordshire Terrier ; the Perro De Ganado Majorero; and the Dogue De Bordeaux in their mixes.In the late 1980s, the Presa Canario was imported to the US, and people began to take notice. This rare breed has become popular among dog fanciers, although the American Kennel Club (AKC) will only register the Presa Canario under its "Foundation Stock Service" Program, which means they are not eligible for AKC registration. However, several clubs have been established focusing on the Presa Canario breed, so that owners can register their pets through these organizations.Appearance The Presa Canario is an impressive and imposing dog indeed. Large and thickly muscled, it has a massive head and a square and powerful jaw. The ears are generally cropped, with thick lips and slightly loose flews (the sides of the upper lip). Standing 23 to 26 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 85 and 160 pounds, the fur is short and coarse, with a color of either brindle or fawn.

Dogs adhering to standard have a black face mask that does not reach above the eyes.Temperament The Presa Canario has the potential to be an excellent family pet. However, if you choose to take this breed on, be aware that you've got a job ahead of you! Its natural instincts are to be very dominating, and your pet will need to be very carefully socialized and trained from an early age in order to be suitable as a member of the family.That said, however, if you are absolutely willing to step in to your role as an alpha owner and you also make sure that others in your family will do the same, the Presa Canario can be an excellent family pet. Properly socialized, your pet will be very responsive to you and very loving and protective indeed. This dog will develop very close bonds with you and your family, as long as it has been adequately trained. It can't be stressed enough that if not properly socialized, your pet can actually be dangerous to other animals and even children, but if given firm boundaries with you as the "pack leader," this dog will be docile and easy-going, especially after the first two years.

When you socialize your pet, the first two years of its life are most critically important. During those first two years, you need to exercise and walk your dog daily to make sure the dog properly bonds with you as the alpha owner, and to make sure that you teach your pet that you're the one who's in charge. After the first two years, assuming your pet’s socialization has been successful, this breed will become very calm and very lovable. Once the dog enters maturity, however, it's especially important that you keep your pet physically active, as it can become lazy once its temperament has been established and becomes more low-key.Proper environment The Presa Canario needs a firmly-dominant owner, but beyond that, just about any environment will do. Although you should take your pet on a daily walk, even simple apartment living will suit this breed just fine, since the dog will not need a lot of room to roam. Especially after the first two years, the Presa Canario is a relatively inactive and docile pet, provided it has been properly trained.

Health Although the Presa Canario is prone to hip dysplasia and, more rarely, diseases and conditions like epilepsy, mange, and patellar luxation (knee dislocation), it's quite a hardy breed. Unique to Spain, the Presa Canario can develop canine visceral leishmaniasis which is a disease caused by a blood parasite that has a long incubation period and usually leads to death. However, most Presa Canarios will live to be 8 to 12 years old with proper veterinary and preventive care.Grooming The short, coarse coat sheds only minimally so your pet will only need brushing with a firm bristle brush on a regular basis. This should be followed by a wipe-down with a soft piece of toweling, to keep the coat glistening. If necessary, bathe or use dry shampoo, but do so as rarely as possible.HealthAlthough the Presa Canario is prone to hip dysplasia and, more rarely, diseases and conditions like epilepsy, mange, and patellar luxation (knee dislocation), it's quite a hardy breed.
