Is The Presa/Dogo Canario A Fighting Breed?
NO!!! The Presa/Dogo Canario is not a fighting breed. It is a breed that can fight, but dog fighting was not the purpose behind this breed. There is a brief point in their history, which has been glorified by some, that the dog was involved in this activity, as most molosser dogs were. The Presa/Dogo Canario was developed by Canarian farmers to be a farm dog and guardian. He was occasionally used for fights that were for entertainment at local fiestas. But the original breeding and selection of these dogs purely for fighting is untrue.
