The Perro de Presa Canario
The Presa Canario is a Spanish breed of medium-sized dog of mastiff or catch dog type. It originates in the Spanish autonomous community of the Canary Islands and is found mostly in the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife. It was formerly known as the Dogo Canario.
The breed was traditionally a guard dog and used as a herding dog for both sheep and cattle. It is a large muscular breed and related to the Mastiff breed. Often confused with the Cane Corso, “The Presa Canario is a moderately large, powerfully constructed dog with a harsh-textured, flat coat.” – UKC.
The breed was near extinction by the late 1960s but was revived in the 1970s by reputable breeders developed and bred Presas true to their original size and character.
