Overview:
The Presa Canario, also known as the Canary Mastiff, is a large and powerful breed originating from the Canary Islands of Spain, where it was historically used for guarding livestock and property. Physically, they are imposing with a mastiff-type build, a broad head, and a short, dense coat typically in fawn, brindle, or black. Temperamentally, a well-socialized Presa Canario is known for its calm, confident, and loyal nature, making them devoted protectors of their family. However, their strong protective instincts and size mean they are generally not recommended for first-time dog owners or apartment living, requiring experienced handling, extensive socialization from a young age, and a secure, spacious environment. While generally robust, they can be prone to common large-breed health issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia and certain heart conditions, necessitating regular veterinary check-ups and a high-quality diet.
