Perro de Presa Canario

The Perro de Presa Canario is a powerful guardian breed developed in Spain’s Canary Islands to protect farms and handle livestock. Calm and deeply devoted with its family, it is naturally wary of strangers and needs early socialization plus firm, experienced handling. Its imposing build, steady nerve, and strong bond with its people make it a standout working mastiff-type dog.
