The Presa Canario has a calm appearance and attentive expression. They are especially suited to guarding and traditionally used for herding cattle.
A moderately large-sized molossoid, with a rectilinear profile and black mask, the Presa Canario is robust and well-proportioned. With a low, deep bark, they tend to have a balanced temperament and are very self-confident. Obedient and docile with family members, they are very devoted to their owners, but can be suspicious of strangers. When alert, their stance is firm and vigilant.
Since they are such an intelligent, hard-working breed, Presa Canarios are more than capable of being trained to perform everything from basic obedience cues like “sit” and “stay” to completing other tasks around the house. Since they love having a job to do, the Presa Canario is known to excel in competitions that test agility, obedience, and strength, so dog competitions are also an option. It’s important to keep your Presa Canario both physically and mentally stimulated, which is why they can make such a great match for families with children who are young enough to want to run around in the backyard but old enough to understand their dog's boundaries and limits.
If you happen to be a family who loves the Great Outdoors, the Presa Canario might just be your perfect match. These are dogs who need exercise and love nothing more than being active with their owners, whether it’s going for a hike or playing a rousing game of frisbee with the kids. But unlike many other breeds of their size, they aren’t extremely high-energy and won’t require hours of intense exercise, so a daily walk or two (or ample backyard time) is enough to satisfy their physical needs.
