History: Perro de Presa Canarios’ ancestors date back to the 15th century and were used to guard farms, working cattle, and to take out wild dogs in the area. They were used heavily in dog fighting, which was banned in the 1940s, leading to Perro de Presa Canarios almost going extinct. Breeders began reconstructing the breed in the 1970s, and the breed made a full recovery in the 1980s on the island of Tenerife.

Temperament: Perro de Presa Canarios are strong willed and require an experienced dog owner to ensure they get the proper training. They have a tendency to be aggressive and should be socialized as early as possible. They can be aggressive if they feel they are the leader of the family, so owners should be strong leaders. With the right owner they are great companions, but their strong willed and stubborn nature can be too much for new dog owners. Perro de Presa Canarios have a medium energy level, but still require at least an hour of exercise every day. They love hiking on a leash and are great swimmers. They also love playing fetch in a fenced-in yard and learning new tricks.
