Temperament
Generally, the Canary Dog will make good guardians and companions. The Canary dog likes to spend time around people, yet can be suspicious of strangers. They are relatively aggressive in disposition, yet they tend to be affectionate towards the owners. Tolerance of other dogs is minimal. Therefore, the Canary dog may be a poor choice for people who have other pets in the household.

The Canary Dog requires a very dominant owner who understands the alpha nature in canines. No member of the family can be uncomfortable around the dog. The Canary dog will make outstanding guard dogs. Just their appearance is a deterrent not to mention their ability to confront any intruder. In the wrong hands this dog can be dangerous, but with the right owner it can make a nice, devoted companion. This is not a breed for first time dog owners.

Me neither. I am an animal control officer and I just pick one up that was so "devoted" to it's owner that it scalped her. and mauled 2 men trying to pry it off.

Like you said, the Presa Canario is a guardian in the correct hands. I love Canary breed. They're character is so distinct from other breeds.
