Presa Canario

The Presa Canario is a large, strong and muscular dog that is longer than it is tall. It has a massive head which covered with loose skin creating wrinkles. It has a short muzzle and wide, black nose. The oval, medium-sized eyes are medium to dark chestnut. The medium-size ears are naturally drop or rose, or cropped erect. There is a wide chest and thick, natural, saberlike tail. The skin is thick and loose, especially at the head, and covered with a short, flat single coat. It is brindle or fawn with a dark mask.

This is a calm, attentive, confident, and even-keeled dog. It is gentle and affectionate with family, including children, but wary with strangers. It is aloof. It generally gets along with submissive dogs of the opposite sex. So do not have 2 males or 2 females - always have female and male with this breed!
