There are two types of Presa Canario: the Presa Canario is a working dog while the Dogo Canario is
more of a show dog. Rufus, our cover dog, is a working dog who undergoes regular protection training to hone
his innate guardian dog instinct.
For Rufus’ ears, Jino went for a battle crop rather than the usual short crop because he was already
about seven months old at the time. There were initial plans of not cropping his ears at first but during
rough play, other dogs kept going for his ears.
With regards to temperament, Jino describes his Presas as being incredibly docile and calm but during
playtime, they turn into very physical, active, and playful animals. Their big size just makes the play
a little rougher compared to small dogs but this is where the human must assert their being the pack leader.
