3 Reasons: Why Socal Presa Canario is the One of the Best Breeders in the USA
Here in the USA, Presa Canarios are definitely not the most popular breed of dog in the entire country. They say that dogs are man’s best friend, and if you’re a dog owner, you will instantly understand why that is. Dogs are so incredibly loyal and affectionate towards their owners that it is virtually impossible to not fall in love with a dog once you become an owner. There are many different breeds out there to choose from, but the Perro de Presa Canario is one of the most gorgeous and robust breeds in the country, and dare we say, the world. Unfortunately as these breeds are so popular, there are some unethical “breeders” out there that cannot be trusted. Socal Presa however, are widely regarded as one of the best breeders in the entire USA, and for very good reason. Here’s a look at 3 reasons why Socal Presa have such a stellar reputation in the dog breeding world.
They ALWAYS put the welfare of their animals first – First and foremost, one of the main reasons why Socal Presa has such a fantastic reputation in the dog breeding world, is because they always put the welfare of their animals first. They breed to honor the Presa Canario and do it rarely, rather than trying to breed as many animals as possible to maximize their profits. Each one of their studs and queens undergoes extensive health checks, and receives the best possible food, drink, care, and attention that money can buy. Their dogs are family, so they are allowed to roam freely around the premises, rather than being kept in cages, restraints, or kennels. The welfare and safety of their dogs is their number one priority, and this makes all of the difference in a dog breeder.
No crossbreeding – Less reputable dog breeders will often crossbreed their dogs, and try to pass them off as pure to buyers, which is not only dishonest, but it is now no longer a pure breed Presa Canario. Socal Presa however, NEVER crossbreed their dogs, so you can rest assured that each pup that is born will be 100% pure Presa Canario. When sourcing breeders, each dog and owner will be vetted thoroughly, to ensure the owners are genuine, and to ensure that the dogs used for breeding are fit, healthy, and above all else, happy. Each breeder is trusted, reliable, and honest, and again, this is reflected in the animals.
They breed for the love of the animals – A Presa Canario is one of the most loyal, gorgeous and best guardian breeds of dog in the entire world, and Socal Presa wish to help other like minded dog lovers across the country, enjoy these wonderful animals. All clients are spoken to in a manner that makes them quickly understand the power and potential of their new puppy. The Perro de Presa Canario puppies are delivered in their home and can roam freely around the grounds until they find a home (in the day), and they are looked after as if they are a part of the family – because they are. They receive heaps of love, get to play with humans and other Presas, and receive top quality care and attention along with basic training.
Cropping my Presa Canario Puppies Ears, Yes or No?
There are many people who get into heated debates regarding ear cropping on dogs. Some say that this is barbaric and that dog’s ears and tails should never be amputated in any way. This is something that some dog owners will defend by saying that the procedure is done with proper anesthetics and the dog feels no pain because of it. In this article, we are going to be talking about the benefits of cropping Presa Canario ears and the benefits of keeping them. This is going to allow you to make an informed decision on the matter.
Keeping the ears intact
One of the main things about keeping the dog’s ears is that this gives them a friendlier look. The natural ears of a Presa actually look quite good and there is no problem in keeping them if you are not planning to have your dog in some kind of contest that requires cropping.
Some countries have banned this procedure because they consider it to be animal abuse and this could also be a reason for you to consider not doing it.
There is no actual enhancement in the dog’s performance or hearing ability if you get the ears cropped, so the truth is that the only reason to do it is because of the opinion of the breeder and/or owners who believe that this makes the dog look much better.
Cropping the ears
It has become a tradition for the ears on this particular breed to be cropped. According to many breeders, a great ear crop for the Presa Canario will show even more facial expression, and in the USA it is a completely legal practice. This procedure according to veterinarians, is not painful or harmful in any way.
There are also some males that have really long ears and cropping them will be great because it will allow them to avoid injury. Other people consider that the natural look of their ears is not very good looking and it takes away from the beauty of their breed.
The Perro de Presa Canario is a working breed, and cropping the ears helps avoid future injury to them in a multitude of ways. Understanding that by having those floppy things in battle with a ferocious wild beast, the beast will latch on to them naturally, and so removal avoids that entirely.
Some people say that they like to crop their dog’s ears because that makes them look more alert and ferocious and they want their dogs to guard their property effectively. While the crop does indeed make a dog look more menacing, it won’t make the dog more alert or more capable of doing this.
Canada has banned this practice and so have many countries in Europe, but it seems to continue to be allowed in the United States, even with the constant protests of animal rights activists.
Dog breeding
People who plan to breed dogs will crop according to the breed as it retains the look of the show or working version of that breed. This generally is going to raise the value of the puppies, but the crop will not alter the pedigree on the Presa Canario puppy in any way. In fact, presa canario puppies are very robust and physically strong dogs, and when you crop the packs ears, they have to be separated which takes away from the bonding aspect. For 2 weeks they will have stitches in their ears, and naturally they will want to bite each other through out the day, so you can imagine what would happen if they were not separated.
Conclusion
It might seem like cropping the ears of your Presa Canario is the best decision you can take because of the look it will give to your dog, but there is really no good reason to do this if you plan to have your dog at home and you are not looking to register the animal for a contest. In the end it is all about personal preference, and if you go to a reputable veterinarian who has completed several Presa Canario puppy ear cropping's, then you should not have a problem. Make sure you ask for past pictures of their work specifically on the "Presa Canario". Make sure they are taking care of the aftercare, etc.
Understand this is an art almost like tattooing, yes you can get one, but will it be a good one is the question! Good luck either way with your Presa Canario Puppy!

Thus, it is not recommended to get a Dogo Canario if you don’t have any experience with dogs. Also, even if you had dogs before, but the soft type of breeds, it is still not recommended to get such a dog. The Presa Canario puppy needs a lot of training, done by a calm but assertive person. Using harsh and violent methods will not help at all, because they will turn this powerful dog into a very dangerous one to have around. These dogs are admitted for their physical strength and intelligence, although they can be stubborn as well, but these qualities can turn into severe defects without the proper education and training.

In the meanwhile, we recommend not taking your puppy to public places and avoid having strangers over. Do not raise your hand or use objects to discipline your Presa Canario, as you will instill fear in its mind. Instead, use a timeout location and a harsh voice. Like children, they understand your demeanor and attitude towards them. If they think they can get away with it, they will try!
Once Take the dog to puppy kindergarten classes, visit friends, neighbors, take the dog to the park, around the city, to shops, and allow people and other dogs to come in contact with your puppy. Also, do not forget that this dog breeds needs something to do, not being happy with an inactive way of life, so make sure he has an activity and something to do all the time, plus plenty of exercising. And do consider enrolling in an obedience class with your Dogo Canario puppy, the earlier you start the better for both of you, so you can enjoy a calm, confident, and obedient dog.

Your breeder should absolutely address this matter and should recommend you a trainer (if available) in the area you live.
