My Presa was a rescue from SPCA and agree with you 100%! I didn't know what a Presa was when I adopted her. She was 5 yrs old already and quite set in her ways. I've had large dogs my whole life but she is by far the strongest and was the hardest to train. Not because of her intelligence as she's incredibly smart. She is confident and didn't care at all what I wanted in the first 6 months. She did her own thing and was super lazy too. I will say I absolutely love my girl and she's a wonderful family dog. Got lucky with Daisy as she loves kids and people. Now if someone is acting weird or intoxicated watch out. She's very protective. She is 11 now and has lots of gray....😢. Still the most lovable dog I've ever had with her family and so gentle. My girl ❤
I have two presa canario that are almost 3 years old and are liter mate brother and sister. Socialization is the KEY!!! The male has been with me all over the United States as I drive a semi and highly socialized. The male thinks you're weird if you don't want to meet and pet him. The female has been with my wife at the house with very little socialization. The female is suspicious of everything and everyone. They are completely two different dogs. Socialization means taking them with you out in public on a regular basis and basic training. If that's not your cup of tea, then don't get one. Get something that lays around, and you don't have to put much work into. This is a dog lover's dog, not something you just pet, feed, ignore, and snap a few dog pictures to post on social media.
Perfectly put! My male dogs name is Stones and he is the same lol thinks you’re weird if you don’t want to meet and pet him. No body rub means an unhappy Stones 😂
It's not the key for a 100 percent of these breed or other breeds like he said yes train and socails as early as you can but always keep it mind these things will not always work my presa has all of this and above my females are fine to around people outside of the family but my male isn't we have got him to the point where by his less reactive and won't drag me across the road but God forbid a person who allows their dog off lead without 100 percent recall comes into his personal space that dog is unfortunately going to be hurt so this bs about its the owner and training and socialising isn't true some dogs are breed to only except their own families and nothing more and this is okay we can't put human wants and needs onto a dog forcing them to socialise when they don't want to all we can do is ensure that we have control over them and have that off switch
I have a 12-year-old pressa, and he's been great. I just found out he may have bone cancer, and I'll have to put him down eventually, and I'm devastated 😢 💔 I love my big boy, and I do want another one 💙. Great dogs.
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
Thank you thank you for stressing how much these dogs aren’t for anyone and how important researching these dogs are. We took 4 years before getting one and chose a very good kennel. We did check out her family history as well EVERYDAY IS A TRAINING DAY!!! We socialized her at 7 weeks while she was still with the breeders! She is such a good girl but she of course can be very intense if WE ALLOWED IT. YOU ARE HANDS DOWN AMAZING DUDE! We respect you so much.
I just want to say that the message that you put out there for positive pet ownership is amazing and needed for anyone who wants to own not just these types of dogs but any dog and my hats off to you good man.
You made me change my mind when it comes to trainers I always thought dog trainers in north america did not know what they were taking about, I grew up with dog, protection dogs and hunting dogs, you my man are by far the most knowledgeable out there.
When he's saying "not for 99%". Yes. I've had very good and well trained pits, Ridgebacks, and Mastffs. I would not want to take one of these on without help. Don't be dumb cuz you wanna be cool or tough
I own a Presa and he’s amazing .same colour as a lion he’s only just turned 2 and around 135lb . I’ve had amazing breeds like pits , American bulldog and GSD all beautiful and never attacked and always around children . My Presa lives with a Jack Russell , chihuahua and a cat and he’s the most beautiful dog you could wish for . I’ve made him like a Labrador and he sleeps with my daughters and the chihuahua . In the home he’s amazing and can be alert but on walks he can be very weary of people and especially other dogs if walking with the smaller dogs. It’s all about the home and I can honestly say the Presa Canario is a great addition to any family they just need a good family to listen to . Never let one person be a pack leader . It takes a family to raise a dog and I always start be letting children pass and take food bowls from when they’re puppies hence it builds great bonds and trust . Don’t ever get a Presa that’s fully grown if you have children , always puppies 👊🏻
What a great video!! I got my 1st Pressa from SoCal Pressa. She is 3 years old and 130 lbs. I had Bullmastiffs for the last 25 years. I love this breed!! But like you said, crazy protectors. Someone broke into my side gate last week. My girl got out at 6am. She sat on my front sidewalk for 4 hours and didn't mess with anyone walking by, with or without a dog.
I keep my boy on a leash for safety but when he is off leash he stays right by my side, Obedient. Of course when you train with a reward system, they want to work and earn rewards.
I have owned 3 Rottweilers, 2 German Shepherds, 1 Douge De Bordeaux, and 1 Belgium Malinois, and 1 Presa Canario. Of all the dogs I have worked with in obedience, IPO, and home protection they were all good, but the Presa Canario had the hardest temperament and would never back down! The Malinois was the absolute fastest learner and willingness to be obedient. Also my Malinois did not fear anything period! He would bite and hold on both arm and leg sleeves like his life depends on it and it was a joy to watch him work. Never tired and always up for something new! Dogs are a great asset in the right hands with correct training!
You say you’re malinois didn’t fear anything and would hold a bite well, whether it was arm or leg… but can you explain your bitework experience with the Presa? Are they equally as fearless and how are they in bitework?
Seen my first one in person and he was a great looking dog! was out running and getting off the local trail a guy had him with his young son as they were getting on to the trail, the presa looked at the guy and his son an looked at me then back at them, he never showed any aggression but he was definitely setting what he thought was an appropriate distance for me to keep. I asked the guy how he was with kids and other dogs and he said he was the best dog he ever had.
Ive had over 15 dogs in my lifetime ans the last one in my home was over 6 years ago,im getting a 6 month old female presa canario in the morning tomorrow.i know i have my work cutout for me but i am super excited to have a dog back in my family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Excellent video and excellent puppies. After working with perro di presas all my life (35+years but not a professional breeder or trainer) I can say that all of your advise is spot on! Especially the piece about having a loaded gun at the end of the leash. I love presas and I currently have a male (3yo) and a female (7yo) which I adopted after being abandoned by their respective owners. Definitely not an easy feat! Finally someone with influence to stress the fact that these dogs are not for every kid out there wanting to impress their friends!
I had a patient who had 3. They were very good dogs and would be fine with me walking into their home just asking for pets, as soon as they realized who was at the front door, even without their owner at home (I went in a few times to feed and water them and let them out when the owner was in hospital).
Got a Presa/doberman mix trained her to be a loyal companion to my little sister. She's so good with her follows her around everywhere. Protective but not aggressive unless provoked. She's super obedient as well easy for my little sister to control and she knows her place in the family. Im considering either 2 full presa canario for my farm or boerboels.
@@CuteFunnyAnimalsTV-yk7hbI have to disagree, just my experience, boerbels are so powerful and so strong that you need to not only have them seriously well trained but you gotta be real physically strong just to withstand the storm, the same goes for presa, very powerful but not to the extent of boerbels, they're easy to train and along as you super socialise them they can be great with dogs and cats and children, my 4 month old pup is a super genius, she's taken to training so well but regardless I know she has the capability to cause tragedy, she's trained twice a day, everyday, and that's a lifetime commitment training arrangement
Give me a break, buddy. You obviously have no idea what a pure breed pressa is like, especially after watching this video. If you knew you would just say wow, did this guy ever hit the nail on the head.
Best video ever. You definitely know what you're talking about? Because you describe this breed. Absolutely perfect, because everything he said is my Pressa
As a Presa owner with multiple dogs, I would have liked to see the differences within the breed discussed. There is a major difference between a true working Presa and the dogs being produced for size and appearance.
I have wanted a presa for 15 years but I have not gotten one because I will not get one until I have the proper fencing and now that my child is an adult and there isn’t friends coming in all the time and my work before tied my time too much to properly train and maintain thing with it. But now I am researching breeders and how the temperament of their animals and satisfaction of the owners.
Best quality presas are from florin Irimia from Romania. Bucovina working dogs. I got a black bitch from him about a year ago, she is now 15 months old and very protective bitch. But an absolute dream with my 10 year old nephew and My 8 year old granddaughter. I imported her to the UK and it was cheaper than I thought. The pup was quite expensive but her parents are amazing. Her dad, Floki, is one of the biggest presas iv ever seen.
Awesome video, we have an 8 month Presa at home, Thordak. He's the biggest goofball I know, but man, their bark means BUSINESS. They'll scare a grown man straight lol. But stubborn is the understatement of the century! 😂 an amazing breed of dog, but thank you for doubling down on them not being for everyone. Part of being a good dog owner, is knowing what you can handle.
Always wanted a Perro de presa canario. Ive had bullmastiff all my life my mom havd bullmastiff kennel and still have it today. And i Got my own today But Ive always wanted s second dog a mollos breed/mastiff breed But with a bit more drive. My bullmastiff is very Well trained and behave beautiful but I really want to have a dog where I can take my training to the next level
Awesome vid bro, same for anyone getting any dog, research the breed. See too many posts everywhere saying "got my first dog, my German shepherd, what should I expect?? You should know exactly what to expect by the time you pick up your dog. Love your stuff Garret 💪🐶♥️
had a presa years ago! she only made it to 6 sadly but she was a good girl. weighed about 180 so way above average.. they a true family guardian dogs that will defend you with their life. and yes they are stubborn. her and my other dog would team up to cause trouble lol
Gotta 7 month old Presa, pit, chow mix. He's a good boy, but he is a little stubborn with training. We are both growing to be better. I love him so much.
Presa are no joke. While many advocate not to take pupps out on walks or public places while thier immune are vulnerable. I had to take my pup out on parks for short walks. Hardware stores and family homes to socialize as much as possible while he is young and curious. It paid off at the end. He is poeple friendly when going out. Dog friendly is different as their breed are not known for that as stated in the video. But he is good with livestock and superb with momma cat with kitten. I call him uncle Ramses as he like to be their protector. We good family dog with proper and alot of compliments when going out. One thing I do advise is from experience is pet insurance. These dogs aint cheap.
I wanted a corso but ended up with a presa x gsd ....I just pray I succeed in socialisation and training. I'm doing my best but she's only 13 weeks, she was 12 weeks when I got her, so know clue how things will go yet, only been a week.
Everything he said is 100% true. My very dog was gifted to me, and just happened to be a two year old 90+ lbs presa canario. He was an absolute terror to say the least. But, I’ll tell you right now, I knew I was safe no matter where I went with this dog.
My 2 year old Presa is a hell of a dog, SMART , Hawk eye sight, Same supreme confidence which has been good for dogs that are not as well mannered. I noticed if a dog does not get scared they are not as aggressive in a tense situation. I stopped taking him to public dog parks because there are far too many other dogs that could force my dog into a fight. My boy is STRONG, i used walking harnesses to help keep control of him.
Fabulous Video & Commentary. I've always loved all the difference Mastiff breeds. Had Dogs my entire life. I'm considering getting an American Bully XL. However, I have always thought the Presa is such a Beautiful Dog. I truly think it's a problem with the owner and not the Dog. Sure they are huge and strong. But this Gentleman is completely right. Good Breeder. Proper Early Training. And socializing your Dog will make all the difference. Now I'm just conflicted on The American Bully XL or the Presa. Either way. Dogs rule !!!!!
My cousins daughter got one in the summer. She has no dog handling experience. I was shocked to hear about this. I don't have an update but I imagine they have run into problems
Great video, I own a Presa myself and she is everything mentioned in the video. The only thing I would disagree with is the energy comparison in regards to the Cane Corso. Presa's are noticeably more energetic, their builds are more muscular and defined, they run faster and jump higher. They are quite literally a machine. Mine was the runt and is a female, it only weighs around 80 pounds so it is most likely more athletic than the average Presa but from all the research I've seen and from personal experience, the Presa's athleticism and strength is more comparable to a pit bull breed than a Cane Corso.
Agreed. I don't know anyone that goes with a Corso over a Presa for any working role. US Presa breeders are way more working oriented on average. Corsos are far more popular which leads to far less consistent breeding lines.
My Presas can, and have cleared a 6'6" fence with no run up, just a straight up leap from a crouch position. Scared the living sh** out of the punks teasing them from the alley....and I mean LITERALLY! All they did was bark, and walk towards them though....they didn't chase them when the idiots ran screaming, just came back and sat by the gate for me to let them in. Smart enough to know they'd made their point. No one comes near my fence now...go figure!
Corso is faster than a presa and have been clocked at higher speeds, presa might be slightly stronger, but corso stronger bite force, Cane Corso Bandogges are what you need.
Love, Love, Love both of these breeds. I have a presa mix and he is such a gentle giant, but I would NOT recommend these breeds for a first time dog owner or someone that can not or will not set boundaries and enforce them. My dog is high prey driven. He loves to chase cats. I do not think he would hurt them if he did catch up with them, but on walks unless you are on high alert ALL THE TIME they could get away from you. I love my dog enough to stay high alert all the time so he shows good etiquette. I have to be highly focused on all our walks because of the loose cats. Not a dog for first time dog owner. I do have to be firm with my dog with the pulling on the leash and wanting to meet dogs on walks and wanting to chase cats. They are also high energy and need exercise EVERY DAY. If not, they will drive you crazy and if you are not at home could create their own fun at your homes detriment.
This was awesome! I'm looking for my FIRST large (or medium) dog for hiking in the mountains in warm weather, preferably a good guard dog, which doesn't drool. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
My presa is 5 years old. I’ve owned huskies, kangals, cane Corsos, boxers, German Shepards, and collies and hands down the presa is by far my favorite, with the corso close behind. I have never seen a breed so determined to want nothing more than to be with and please his master. Of all the breeds I’ve owned I feel more confident with my current presa being around people without worrying about him biting someone. Even though my experience with presas have been over the top great I still recommend this breed for only experienced handlers due to their enormous strength and eagerness to fight if given the opportunity.
The Presa Canario is my dream dog, but I’ve only ever owned Chihuahuas. I want to eventually be able to have a Presa. What are the steps I should take to prepare and successfully have a Presa Canario? Love the videos btw!
I was on the fence about getting one … When you said 99% shouldn’t I pulled the trigger. Have one on a flight to Rhode Island as we speak. That being said. I have had pit bulls ,dozens of boxers , Great Danes etc.
I have considered getting a Presa for years. I am currently looking for a breeder as these dogs are rare, especially in Kentucky. I have had American Pitbulls, Great Danes and a working German Shepherd. I don’t have any of them anymore and have time for a dog
Exactly at all! I had a Presa Canario with dog's experiences (German Shepherd & Boxer). The spanish breeders said, it's a bad idea to take a presa canario as a single woman. I didn't believed it. Constantly training, but they're so intelligent and stubborn, to follow their own way in some situations. For example: My male dogo likes all people, BUT he can smell, when a man likes me more than normal and starts to make these persons afraid . A conversation isn't possible (barking) and he gives them a space about 2,5 m ( away from me)....but not one cm more! If he don't agree to let someone into the house, I know about the background. It's impossible to stop these muscle power packets per leash, when they freak out! In my case, it was impossible, to change his behavior. All other commands are working perfect and he's the best dog ever. He loves kids, too. He protected me at night from a man ( hiding behind bushes). I could save his life ( sadly) and called : "Run or he kills you! "....and run to turn the leash around the tree to hold my dog. They're not like other dogs and yes, there should be a man with a natural dominance and experience. Well, they're the perfect protection. They know about the danger, before you know what's going on and you can trust them in these moments.... I agree - they're a weapon. The spanish breeders knew about their strong personality. I agree at all to these competent video. The most presa canarios coming to shelters with 1 - 1,5 years! It's very sad.
At first i wanted to get a dogo but then i found out about the Presa canario. I fell in love but my wife wanted a Rottweiler. Ended up with a pitbull mix Rottweiler. Couldn't ask for a more perfect family guard dog
I don't know anyone that does human or animal apprehension that would consistently take a Corso over a Presa. Working kennels Irema Curto and De La Arena produce better working Presas than any Corso kennel.
What a handsome dog the male puppy is!!! Thanks for sharing! As to the breed, if you find an individual with a low tendency to drool ("dry mouth"), then the breed has only two downsides: 1) No undercoat (you will have problems if you have to relocate to an area with a cold climate) 2) There seems to be an increasing number of jurisdictions that ban this breed. Moreover, as to controlling the dog (making him submit), the biggest problem in this regard (even with GSDs) is that they can bite quicker than one can react. I have never seen advice anywhere on how to solve this problem.
@American Standard Dog Training I'm not sure where to ask this, but have you worked with an Alano Español? They share some similar characteristics to Cane Corso and Presa Canarios. They may be more agile, better with children and dogs (assuming a dog doesn't challenge them) and have a better release when commanded to release a person or animal. They also have incredible bite strength. I hope you and your family are doing well and you are having less trouble with venomous less and comments from crazies. God bless!! ❤
What breed would you recommend more so for intimidation factor than actually "murdering the stranger"? The Corso and Presa are too much for my family but I do a lot of solo trail running and want to purchase a dog that will make people think twice before trying to kill me but that will also mesh well with a family with a 6yo child.
Athletic, family-friendly, guard dogs! Belgian Tervuren and Malinois! Doberman, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Appenzeller, Australian Shepherd, Boxer, Portuguese Water Dog, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherd , Bullmastiff, Terriers Some of these have single coats, so may not like strong rain , nor cold weather! Lots of other factors to consider also!
I read about a woman like u running marathons, training in isolated places! She had 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks! She felt very safe with them! They can run forever! Very intelligent dogs that constantly use their brain and assess the environment! Athletic! Loyal! They hunt lions in Africa! Fearless, independent thinkers! Protective of family! Don’t bark much, but when they do, there is a good reason! I’ve never seen them being aggressive! Impressive dogs! I’ve known several of them! Better than terriers, in general! Good health!
Okay! So I’m not sure how to preface this question without pissing off a whole bunch of people here. But I’m a Huge fan of the Great Dane breed but they’ve completely lost their hunting and protecting abilities, so I wanted to introduce some Presa Canario into their bloodline to sturdy them up again. I guess my question is: would that be a good idea?
Great Video i doubt that Presas are used for Boar hunting- at least not in the Canary islands- simply because there are no boars here🙂 i own one and he lives on my farm and is socialized with the pigs i raise. kinda helps me heard them- not really a bordercolly though🙂 he has balldrive and that made it easy to train him- mi first one did not have balldrive and totally different energy- way lazier mine is a humper but very peacful he catches and kills rats greatings from Las Palmas
I got a presa girl when she was 6 months while I was out of country(via family) and met her when she was 8 months. She is a sweetheart and a big baby but she's reactive. And we do live in a rental townhouse complex. She's currently 14 months old. What kind of training do you recommend?

@@CuteFunnyAnimalsTV-yk7hbI have to disagree, just my experience, boerbels are so powerful and so strong that you need to not only have them seriously well trained but you gotta be real physically strong just to withstand the storm, the same goes for presa, very powerful but not to the extent of boerbels, they're easy to train and along as you super socialise them they can be great with dogs and cats and children, my 4 month old pup is a super genius, she's taken to training so well but regardless I know she has the capability to cause tragedy, she's trained twice a day, everyday, and that's a lifetime commitment training arrangement
Farm dog kangal is better
Give me a break, buddy. You obviously have no idea what a pure breed pressa is like, especially after watching this video. If you knew you would just say wow, did this guy ever hit the nail on the head.
Best video ever. You definitely know what you're talking about? Because you describe this breed. Absolutely perfect, because everything he said is my Pressa
Im owner for pressa like y say exactly its amazing breed ever seen in my life ❤❤❤❤❤
Is it just me or is it that the harder the name is to pronounce the more likely the dog is going to be a handful.
Dogue de Bordeaux😂
It's you alen
Lol
People make ALL dogs look bad or a handful
Hahaha @ my Weimaraner mix 😭😂
Honest dog trainer!
As a Presa owner with multiple dogs, I would have liked to see the differences within the breed discussed. There is a major difference between a true working Presa and the dogs being produced for size and appearance.
I like this format. Very informative. Bravo!!
I've had canes and switched to presas. Presas are way more athletic bro
That’s a fact
My brother owned 3 and it’s impressive to see them MOVE
Pressa was my first dog , best choice ever ,best dog ever
like always, best video about dog breeds , I have a big male Cane Corso , and my brother a Presa Canario, I only saw truths , congrats from Uruguay
I have wanted a presa for 15 years but I have not gotten one because I will not get one until I have the proper fencing and now that my child is an adult and there isn’t friends coming in all the time and my work before tied my time too much to properly train and maintain thing with it. But now I am researching breeders and how the temperament of their animals and satisfaction of the owners.
Best quality presas are from florin Irimia from Romania. Bucovina working dogs. I got a black bitch from him about a year ago, she is now 15 months old and very protective bitch. But an absolute dream with my 10 year old nephew and My 8 year old granddaughter. I imported her to the UK and it was cheaper than I thought. The pup was quite expensive but her parents are amazing. Her dad, Floki, is one of the biggest presas iv ever seen.
Thanks for the video about the Presa Canario , beautiful breed i have a working line from spain, greetings from europe
I always appreciate your insight.
The pressa is all around so much more dog. Drive, aggresion, brute, protective, dominant. Everything
Awesome video, we have an 8 month Presa at home, Thordak. He's the biggest goofball I know, but man, their bark means BUSINESS. They'll scare a grown man straight lol. But stubborn is the understatement of the century! 😂 an amazing breed of dog, but thank you for doubling down on them not being for everyone. Part of being a good dog owner, is knowing what you can handle.
I handle Chihuahuas. That’s my limit. Lol
Absolutely phenomenal video - with an added bonus of information on my second favorite breed; Cane Corso 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most nicest dog I had non male cut tale as much brindle
Always wanted a Perro de presa canario. Ive had bullmastiff all my life my mom havd bullmastiff kennel and still have it today. And i Got my own today But Ive always wanted s second dog a mollos breed/mastiff breed But with a bit more drive. My bullmastiff is very Well trained and behave beautiful but I really want to have a dog where I can take my training to the next level
Awesome vid bro, same for anyone getting any dog, research the breed. See too many posts everywhere saying "got my first dog, my German shepherd, what should I expect?? You should know exactly what to expect by the time you pick up your dog.
Love your stuff Garret 💪🐶♥️
This video is so spot on, thank you, sir for for explaining This for people that Truly have no idea.
I HAD THREE OF THESE DOGS, LOVE THEM TREMENDOUSLY.
YOU ARE SPOT ON!
had a presa years ago! she only made it to 6 sadly but she was a good girl. weighed about 180 so way above average.. they a true family guardian dogs that will defend you with their life. and yes they are stubborn. her and my other dog would team up to cause trouble lol
Your videos like this are SO good. Keep them coming!
Thanks for your detailed message
You have that right! Their a hand full, I've had Triumph now five years old, you must keep up with your dog every day or it will take over your life.
Gotta 7 month old Presa, pit, chow mix. He's a good boy, but he is a little stubborn with training. We are both growing to be better. I love him so much.
Presa are no joke. While many advocate not to take pupps out on walks or public places while thier immune are vulnerable. I had to take my pup out on parks for short walks. Hardware stores and family homes to socialize as much as possible while he is young and curious. It paid off at the end. He is poeple friendly when going out. Dog friendly is different as their breed are not known for that as stated in the video. But he is good with livestock and superb with momma cat with kitten. I call him uncle Ramses as he like to be their protector. We good family dog with proper and alot of compliments when going out. One thing I do advise is from experience is pet insurance. These dogs aint cheap.
insurance prices are a joke 😭
I own 2 Presa Canarios and let me tell you it's a step up from the Cane Corso, don't get one if your novice. I work both my dogs in security
Huge step up from a Corso.
I wanted a corso but ended up with a presa x gsd ....I just pray I succeed in socialisation and training. I'm doing my best but she's only 13 weeks, she was 12 weeks when I got her, so know clue how things will go yet, only been a week.
I appreciate the review of these dogs .I was looking into getting one and your video was great for info and gave me some things to consider.
Everything he said is 100% true. My very dog was gifted to me, and just happened to be a two year old 90+ lbs presa canario. He was an absolute terror to say the least. But, I’ll tell you right now, I knew I was safe no matter where I went with this dog.
We own one...and agree with everything you said.
I have 8 babbys rightnow they are so cuteee
My 2 year old Presa is a hell of a dog, SMART , Hawk eye sight, Same supreme confidence which has been good for dogs that are not as well mannered. I noticed if a dog does not get scared they are not as aggressive in a tense situation. I stopped taking him to public dog parks because there are far too many other dogs that could force my dog into a fight. My boy is STRONG, i used walking harnesses to help keep control of him.
Fabulous Video & Commentary. I've always loved all the difference Mastiff breeds. Had Dogs my entire life. I'm considering getting an American Bully XL. However, I have always thought the Presa is such a Beautiful Dog. I truly think it's a problem with the owner and not the Dog. Sure they are huge and strong. But this Gentleman is completely right. Good Breeder. Proper Early Training. And socializing your Dog will make all the difference. Now I'm just conflicted on The American Bully XL or the Presa. Either way. Dogs rule !!!!!
Great video! 😁👍
Do an Akita inu video talking about everything Akita from temperament to everything!
My cousins daughter got one in the summer. She has no dog handling experience. I was shocked to hear about this. I don't have an update but I imagine they have run into problems
Breeder shouldn’t have sold to her
Would love to see one about Dogo Argentino, hope you see this.
Great video, I own a Presa myself and she is everything mentioned in the video. The only thing I would disagree with is the energy comparison in regards to the Cane Corso. Presa's are noticeably more energetic, their builds are more muscular and defined, they run faster and jump higher. They are quite literally a machine. Mine was the runt and is a female, it only weighs around 80 pounds so it is most likely more athletic than the average Presa but from all the research I've seen and from personal experience, the Presa's athleticism and strength is more comparable to a pit bull breed than a Cane Corso.
Agreed. I don't know anyone that goes with a Corso over a Presa for any working role. US Presa breeders are way more working oriented on average. Corsos are far more popular which leads to far less consistent breeding lines.
My Presas can, and have cleared a 6'6" fence with no run up, just a straight up leap from a crouch position. Scared the living sh** out of the punks teasing them from the alley....and I mean LITERALLY! All they did was bark, and walk towards them though....they didn't chase them when the idiots ran screaming, just came back and sat by the gate for me to let them in.
Smart enough to know they'd made their point.
No one comes near my fence now...go figure!
Corso is faster than a presa and have been clocked at higher speeds, presa might be slightly stronger, but corso stronger bite force, Cane Corso Bandogges are what you need.
Love, Love, Love both of these breeds. I have a presa mix and he is such a gentle giant, but I would NOT recommend these breeds for a first time dog owner or someone that can not or will not set boundaries and enforce them. My dog is high prey driven. He loves to chase cats. I do not think he would hurt them if he did catch up with them, but on walks unless you are on high alert ALL THE TIME they could get away from you. I love my dog enough to stay high alert all the time so he shows good etiquette. I have to be highly focused on all our walks because of the loose cats. Not a dog for first time dog owner. I do have to be firm with my dog with the pulling on the leash and wanting to meet dogs on walks and wanting to chase cats. They are also high energy and need exercise EVERY DAY. If not, they will drive you crazy and if you are not at home could create their own fun at your homes detriment.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this breed! These are great loyal dogs if you know what you're doing but they're definitely not for everyone!!
I own 10 Presa Canario best dog in world
This was awesome! I'm looking for my FIRST large (or medium) dog for hiking in the mountains in warm weather, preferably a good guard dog, which doesn't drool. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
My presa is 5 years old. I’ve owned huskies, kangals, cane Corsos, boxers, German Shepards, and collies and hands down the presa is by far my favorite, with the corso close behind. I have never seen a breed so determined to want nothing more than to be with and please his master. Of all the breeds I’ve owned I feel more confident with my current presa being around people without worrying about him biting someone. Even though my experience with presas have been over the top great I still recommend this breed for only experienced handlers due to their enormous strength and eagerness to fight if given the opportunity.
Hi how long did you keep your kangals for and how was your experience with them please?
Was that a GT350R on the drive way? Damn, beautiful Mustang, and beautiful Presa Canario too
The Presa Canario is my dream dog, but I’ve only ever owned Chihuahuas. I want to eventually be able to have a Presa. What are the steps I should take to prepare and successfully have a Presa Canario? Love the videos btw!
I also wanna know this
I was on the fence about getting one … When you said 99% shouldn’t I pulled the trigger. Have one on a flight to Rhode Island as we speak. That being said. I have had pit bulls ,dozens of boxers , Great Danes etc.
I am getting both 💯
I have considered getting a Presa for years. I am currently looking for a breeder as these dogs are rare, especially in Kentucky. I have had American Pitbulls, Great Danes and a working German Shepherd. I don’t have any of them anymore and have time for a dog
Exactly at all! I had a Presa Canario with dog's experiences (German Shepherd & Boxer). The spanish breeders said, it's a bad idea to take a presa canario as a single woman. I didn't believed it.
Constantly training, but they're so intelligent and stubborn, to follow their own way in some situations.
For example:
My male dogo likes all people, BUT he can smell, when a man likes me more than normal and starts to make these persons afraid .
A conversation isn't possible (barking) and he gives them a space about 2,5 m ( away from me)....but not one cm more!
If he don't agree to let someone into the house, I know about the background.
It's impossible to stop these muscle power packets per leash, when they freak out!
In my case, it was impossible, to change his behavior.
All other commands are working perfect and he's the best dog ever. He loves kids, too.
He protected me at night from a man ( hiding behind bushes). I could save his life ( sadly) and called : "Run or he kills you! "....and run to turn the leash around the tree to hold my dog.
They're not like other dogs and yes, there should be a man with a natural dominance and experience.
Well, they're the perfect protection. They know about the danger, before you know what's going on and you can trust them in these moments.... I agree - they're a weapon.
The spanish breeders knew about their strong personality.
I agree at all to these competent video.
The most presa canarios coming to shelters with 1 - 1,5 years! It's very sad.
Love them💕
Can you make a video on the Uk and the XL bully ban and the recently attacks and even someone killed by two ! Would love to hear your opinion
Can you do staffy 🥺
At first i wanted to get a dogo but then i found out about the Presa canario. I fell in love but my wife wanted a Rottweiler. Ended up with a pitbull mix Rottweiler. Couldn't ask for a more perfect family guard dog
You are a wealth of knowledge, information and common sense. I wish it was Mandatory for anyone who owns 1 to be trained by you .
I love my Presa Canario
can you do one about the french mastiff also know as the Dogue De Bordeaux
I have two labs and just got a 4 month old brindle presa it’s definitely different
Glad you are back.
Awesome video
I don't know anyone that does human or animal apprehension that would consistently take a Corso over a Presa. Working kennels Irema Curto and De La Arena produce better working Presas than any Corso kennel.
I had presa both parents breed by Irema curto....what a working line the best..pure 🔥 fire
What a handsome dog the male puppy is!!! Thanks for sharing!
As to the breed, if you find an individual with a low tendency to drool ("dry mouth"), then the breed has only two downsides:
1) No undercoat (you will have problems if you have to relocate to an area with a cold climate)
2) There seems to be an increasing number of jurisdictions that ban this breed.
Moreover, as to controlling the dog (making him submit), the biggest problem in this regard (even with GSDs) is that they can bite quicker than one can react. I have never seen advice anywhere on how to solve this problem.
Please make a full video about Dogo Argentino.. Thank you
🥰 Im a true lover of this Breed !! good video and wonderfull informations 👌👍🙏
I want a video like this but for a doberman
Can the presa still be used as a lgd?
@American Standard Dog Training I'm not sure where to ask this, but have you worked with an Alano Español?
They share some similar characteristics to Cane Corso and Presa Canarios. They may be more agile, better with children and dogs (assuming a dog doesn't challenge them) and have a better release when commanded to release a person or animal. They also have incredible bite strength.
I hope you and your family are doing well and you are having less trouble with venomous less and comments from crazies. God bless!! ❤
What breed would you recommend more so for intimidation factor than actually "murdering the stranger"? The Corso and Presa are too much for my family but I do a lot of solo trail running and want to purchase a dog that will make people think twice before trying to kill me but that will also mesh well with a family with a 6yo child.
Athletic, family-friendly, guard dogs! Belgian Tervuren and Malinois! Doberman, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Appenzeller, Australian Shepherd, Boxer, Portuguese Water Dog, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherd , Bullmastiff, Terriers
Some of these have single coats, so may not like strong rain , nor cold weather!
Lots of other factors to consider also!
I read about a woman like u running marathons, training in isolated places! She had 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks! She felt very safe with them! They can run forever! Very intelligent dogs that constantly use their brain and assess the environment! Athletic! Loyal! They hunt lions in Africa! Fearless, independent thinkers! Protective of family! Don’t bark much, but when they do, there is a good reason! I’ve never seen them being aggressive!
Impressive dogs! I’ve known several of them! Better than terriers, in general! Good health!
@lenitaa7938 Thanks for the recommendation! Adding it to my research list.
rottweilers are actually pretty good dogs, they can be big softies when they have a decent owner, but still. lot of people are scared of them
Thank you for making a video on pressa’s. Most things on UA-cam are only cane corso or mastiffs at large
Viva Canarias!! ❤
So you say this is a good beginner doggo?
Sir please can u do the Tosa inu?
Love the presa and the gt350 😊
Quando denrto parke gozar corre sin cadena - pero cuide
I have one of these identical to these this video is so educational I love my creature buyer beware
Please please do a video on pocket American bully I’d love to hear what you know think about them! I just got one couple months ago in love ❤
All the best dogs are working dogs presa is scary even too the toughest of people
Can you do a similar video on the American Akita specifically?
Okay! So I’m not sure how to preface this question without pissing off a whole bunch of people here. But I’m a Huge fan of the Great Dane breed but they’ve completely lost their hunting and protecting abilities, so I wanted to introduce some Presa Canario into their bloodline to sturdy them up again. I guess my question is: would that be a good idea?
I have a Cane Corso and love everything about it but I think my next dog might be a Presa
Love the Shelby!
Thank for Hanley acknowledge whoever, dissemination cry ever l😊aw client is both the breed beautiful.
Great Video
i doubt that Presas are used for Boar hunting-
at least not in the Canary islands- simply because there are no boars here🙂
i own one and he lives on my farm and is socialized with the pigs i raise.
kinda helps me heard them- not really a bordercolly though🙂
he has balldrive and that made it easy to train him- mi first one did not have balldrive and totally different energy- way lazier
mine is a humper but very peacful
he catches and kills rats
greatings from Las Palmas
I got a presa girl when she was 6 months while I was out of country(via family) and met her when she was 8 months. She is a sweetheart and a big baby but she's reactive. And we do live in a rental townhouse complex. She's currently 14 months old. What kind of training do you recommend?
