Q. - Which are the main reasons in your opinion for the the actual gradual loss of character-temp- in the breed? A. - We have always seen impressive molossers and molosser type of dogs in countries like Mauritania,Morocco.etc,what happens is that not being the before mentioned,developed countries,these dogs are still used for what they were bred and created for,they serve a purpose,and they are not bred with the only intention of making money with them.We can think that it is a shame we cannot have access to these dogs,but we could also think that if we did these dogs would loose their original character and temp and we would start talking about standard,pedigrees,fashion etc...the only ones to judge these dogs should be their owners,never a judge in a show ring,their owners should judge their dogs courage and abilities to guard,hunt,herd etc.If this had been the case for many autoctonous spanish breeds,we would have never seen Presas Canarios with dysplasia and without character,Spanish alanos without any prey drive and Majoreros with clearly visible weakness problems,their owners,breeders and the enviroment would have taken care of culling them.You can see an example of what i´m saying in the best Spanish greyhounds,these dogs do what they have been bred for,these dogs run hares during the hunting season,most of them don´t have pedigrees and they preserve their natural instinct,their owners keep the pedigree of these dogs in their head,and a 99% of these dogs will never see a dog show in their life,why?because their real beauty lies in their functionality,and only their ability to do their work right will tell whether they are good for breeding or not,never for not having the right percentage of colour markings,or size.I believe I have left it very clear as for what the reasons of the decline of THE AUTHENTIC PERRO DE PRESA CANARIO is concerned,unscrupulous breeders just trying to make money who instead of being selective when breeding they have just sold papers and pedigrees without worrying about what really mattered.These are the ones who have really harmed the breed.
