Presa Canario

Q: What are the main differences between the Presa Canario vs Cane Corso? both look pretty similar from the pictures I've seen. what differences are there physically and temperament wise? Photo Credit: johnvoo_photographer/Flickr CC Answers and Views: Answer by farmgirl They are very similar dogs, similar in looks and temperament. I believe that Cane Corso dogs do better in small houses/ apartments whereas a Presa Canario needs more space. If you plan to show your dog, the body types are quite different, the head size, the tallness, and longevity of the body. The biggest difference I know of is that the Canario is a created breed, they were added to the mastiff family, Cane Corso is a natural breed of the mastiff family. Depending on the person (mostly show dog owners) people will say the temperament of the Cane Corso is meaner, but I own a 6-month-old Cane Corso puppy and she is just a doll.

Weight should be ranging from 110 to 130 lb. Answer by Schrei! I have experience with both Cane Corso and I happen to co-own and handle two Presa Canarios. The Presas are very loyal, very large, and over-all extremely gentle. The male that I co-owned was much easier to train then the female. He was highly intelligent and very eager to please. He was also quite food-motivated. With training, these are excellent dogs. They are both amazing with young children (infants, toddlers, and more). I have also trained a Cane Corso. He was much more difficult than the Presas – however, he was in a bad living situation before I had gotten to him. He was more difficult, but regardless – with a lot of hard work he turned out to be a fine dog. He does have dog-aggression issues and is selective with his canine friends. But a great dog. Is it so necessary to cut the ears of a Cane Corso? Who would win in a fight Presa Canario or Bullmastiff? Why is the Cane Corso considered a dangerous dog breed? Answer by ed Presa Canario vs Cane Corso? Approximately 15 years ago I owned both. Presa was a male from show stoppers, and the female was a Cane Corso from the Dora bloodline. First litter produced 16 puppies, and the second litter was 11 puppies. All but 2 of the dogs were between 130 and 180 pounds when fully grown. All the ones that resembled the mother were much more aggressive and were slightly larger. All the ones that resembled the father, were slightly smaller and were more of a thinking dog. I should probably mention that both parents were raised with my 5-year-old son. The mother was ultra-aggressive and ultra-protective. Her weight was about 115 lbs. The father weighed 138 lbs. and was also protective but not aggressive until he needed to be. Answer by Andromeda Cane Corso in Italian, Perro de Presa Canario in Spanish. black, dark grey, blue, light brown, red or brindle | brindle from dark too light grey/yellow/red males 64-68 cm/females 60-64 cm +/- 4 cm | male 59-64 cm/females 55-59 cm goes back to Roman times | based on original dogs on the Canary islands mixed with mastiffs and bulldogs the English brought with them So basic gist one is a newer smaller breed which has to be brindle, the other is an old breed where some colors of solid are allowed and its bigger in size.
