I was at FOHA today, walked into the kennels, and lo and behold a male presa canario was looking back at me. I am irritated, because this rescue really has no business trying to place molosser breeds. They really don't understand the difference between the molosser and other dog breeds. Every mastiff they have ever pulled has been returned at least twice, except Fang the Neo (who is now Zeus) because he was extremely lucky.
But the presa, who's name is Guppy btw (a stupid name for a presa) seems to be a soft type, he likes laps, likes cuddles, takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and seems to be a stable dog. He does need some confidence building, and his conformation stinks. He has some horrible elbows, they bow out like a bulldog. I wouldn't be surprised if he develops elbow displaysia.
*Sighs* I hope this dog doesn't get screwed over. Pics will be posted tomorrow!
