Do DOGO Canario dogs get along with other animals?
This depends largely on the animals involved. The DOGO Canario is strong character and a dominant animal. Most of them do not get along well with another of the same sex and same dominant personality. Males and females generally do fine together. They may have minor scuffles from time to time, as well as all dogs will, but as a general rule they do not fight. The breed also generally gets along well with less dominant animals. Many DOGO Canario peacefully exist in households with smaller dogs or other non dominant breeds, even of the same sex. The DOGO Canario should not show aggression towards a puppy. This is a dog that lacks confidence, in that he sees a puppy as a threat. This is neither typical or desirable behavior of the breed. As the DOGO Canario is a confident dog, he can often be seen taking ” abuse ” from a younger animal.
