What is the disposition of the Presa towards other dogs and people?
The Presa Canario is extremely intuitive and discriminating in his ability to discern whether you are a friend or someone posing a threat. They are wary of strangers and exhibit a serious deep bark when sounding the alarm to alert his family and ward off the intruder. It should be noted the Presa is very observant and curious; nothing escapes his focused attention. These characteristics identify the Presa as the ideal companion guardian. Regarding their disposition towards other dogs will usually be determined by the attitude and posture of any dog he confronts. Remember part of the Presas heritage is that of a bonifide fighting dog and while classified as working breed they are no less ranked as dog aggressive. Since they are so intelligent and willing to please, this instinct can be controlled through early socialization and training. Schooling your dog will not detract from its ability to defend itself against any uncontrolled aggressive animal or human threat.
