The Presa Canario  is a powerful,ready to accept control or instruction, affectionate dog. They are great family protectors and  family companions as well as guardians. They are distrustful of strangers, but should accept strangers if the owner accepts them. They should be very alert and ready to defend the owner or property if necessary. It is generally a quiet breed but has a very intimidating bark. This breed requires an owner who understands the alpha nature of canines. No member of the family can be uncomfortable around the dog. These can make outstanding guard dogs. Just their appearance is a deterrent, not to mention their ability to confront any intruder. As with all guardian type dogs early socialization and obedience training are a must. Occasionally you will have some dog aggression in the Presa Canario, but with proper socialization and training this is the exception and not the rule. Many are raised with other dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. Owners must take their dogs for daily pack walks to satisfy their migration instincts.


Presa Canario dogs are rare breeds, they are large-size dog with a thick and muscular body.They are also known as the CANARY dogs.These dogs were used to kill the wild dogs that attacked cattle. In others periods, many of these dogs were ordered to be killed for the damage they did to cattle. At one point, residents were given the opportunity to kill loose and wild dogs without punishment. Due to the damage caused by these dogs, their possession was banned for anyone who was not a farmer or a hunter. All this occurred between the 16th and 18th centuries.

As a large breed, the Presa Canario can be susceptible to hip dysplasia.

The Presa Canario will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are relatively inactive in  indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard.This breed needs to be taken on a daily, long walk. Do not allow this dog to walk out in front of the handler while out on a walk. The dog must not walk in front of the human who is holding the lead, as the pack leader goes first.The objective in training this dog is to achieve pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack.The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set.The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success.
