FAQs

Is the Presa Canario legal in the UK?

The Presa Canario is not explicitly listed as a banned breed under the UK's Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, but its ownership is in a legally ambiguous position. Authorities may restrict or seize dogs thought to resemble banned fighting breeds, so ownership is strictly regulated and potentially prohibited depending on local enforcement. Prospective owners should stay informed about legislation and proceed with caution.

Are Presa Canarios aggressive dogs?

Presa Canarios are powerful, confident dogs with strong protective instincts and loyalty to their owners. They have a reputation for being sometimes aggressive, mainly towards strangers or perceived threats. Early socialisation and consistent, firm training are essential to manage their natural guarding instincts and ensure they are safe family members.

Can Presa Canarios be good family dogs?

Presa Canarios can be devoted family companions if owned by experienced handlers who commit to early socialisation and firm, consistent training. Their strong protective nature means they require vigilant management but with proper care can be good family dogs.

How does the Presa Canario compare to the Cane Corso in size and temperament?

While both are large, muscular guardian breeds, the Cane Corso tends to be slightly larger and more adaptable, weighing up to 110-120 lbs, with an intelligent and analytical temperament. The Presa Canario is typically bulkier and very powerful, with intense protective instincts and a more direct guarding style.
