Have you ever owned a presa canario?

@ Bump

Thanks for the info.

Okay so my partner rescued a 3 and a half week old Presa Canario mixed with Akita, from a man that was selling them from a VERY bad home, but me and my partner both work full time, I have maybe 2-3 days off a week.. SOMETIMES.. But he didn't think of this when he bought her, he just wanted to save her from the nasty home, now, I've been told to feed her the puppy milk formula every four hours for her bread and weight, which she seems to be doing well with so far on my days off work.. But what do we do about looking after her? I heard we can leave her inbetween meals but not for the whole time, maybe 3 hours maximum? But is that okay? She goes toilet by herself and sleeps most of the time but ANY information no matter how big or small is amazing and I will greatly appreciate it!!!

Thank You so so much!

I'm sorry, here is the story.

It was a mix, not a full GSD.

You can find attacks by any breed:

labs....

I have a 20 month old male, neutered at 12 months and he is great. I just got his sister that is 12 months younger and she is unpredictable. I fear she may have to be destroyed if she does not improve. She can be fine for days then like the character Jekyll and Hyde she changes. Gets aggressive with other dogs and people that are just passing. I also just blew at her face and she almost nailed me. I then worked on that and got her to realize I was no threat by blowing on her. It appears to be resolved but her initial reaction is concerning. My male, her older brother has never ever acted in this fashion and I will be damned if I let her ruin his good nature. I will give it more time But in the end I will do what is right for me and the public at large.

i owned a black labrador from working lines years ago. Without doubt ,the most unpredictable and aggressive dog i ever owned. Breeds like this,dont sell newspapers so are never demonised by the media. The rottweiller and pitbull were the persecuted breeds ,now it looks like its the pressas turn.

o.k i'll say it..

pit bulls, rotts, ridgebacks, dogos, canarios, etc these type of dogs were NEVER BREEDED TO BE PETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

THESE ARE HUNTING, GUARD, FIGHTING DOGS THAT ONLY TRAINED CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS SHOULD HANDLE..

IF THERE WAS A LAW BANNING THESE TYPE OF DOGS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS I WOULD SIGN IT IN A HEARTBEAT.. WAY TOO MANY CARELESS OWNERS WHO DO NOT KNOW ONE THING ABOUT THESE BREEDS..

Uh, Pits have been one the historic "pet dogs" in the US for hundreds of years. And they're soooo cute!

I named mine Tyson and trained him to be vicious to protect my drug stash and cash. And people make way when we go down the sidewalk. He loves the smell of little babies.

Ugliest dog on this planet, they have never been bred to be a pet. Pits are fighting dogs, it’s in their dna. Retrievers retrieve, pointers point and bully breeds fight.

Me and my husband wanted a good guard dog but also a loyal and fearless - and our friend breeds Presa Canario - we never thought of getting one as we have three boys. But, after research and meeting King our presa - it was decieded he was the one! And he has been amazing! We got him young and began training right away setting the tone in our household, he respects each of our boys 7, 8and 12 yr old. And although he has a different relationship with each of us he knows his role. He has been amazing. We socialized him very young as well so he loves other dogs (have not found one he has not yet - well small dogs he could do without but he does not try to harm he just isn’t as excited about playing with them) he even went out with us to watch fireworks in which he was amazing ppl complimented on what a good dog. He continues to show progress in his training but I could not ask for a better guard dog. His instincts for guarding make training easy. He is 8 months now and has recently tried pressing his boundaries with my husband but not like you would think - overall If your willing to devote the time and consistency on training this breed can be amazing but without that you will have a very large powerful dog who will dominant your life , with love and firm training you will have the best guard dog! And best of all my King shows no hesitation in protecting our boys with his life

Also king is the biggest baby with mom just a loving boy
