<p>The breed is originally from the <a title="Canary Islands" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands">Canary Islands</a> in the 1700s, notably <a title="Gran Canaria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Canaria">Gran Canaria</a>. Its exact ancestry is unknown, but enthusiasts believe that the <a class="new" title="erro de="de" Bardino="Bardino" Majorero="Majorero" (page does="does" not="not" exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Perro_de_Bardino_Majorero&action=edit&redlink=1">Perro de Bardino Majorero</a>, an established farm dog from the Canary Islands, was <a title="Crossbreed" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbreed">crossed</a> with the <a title="Mastiff" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastiff">Mastiff</a> and other English dogs brought to the Islands by visitors and colonists, creating the foundation for the modern Presa Canario.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-UPPCC_0-0"><a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presa_Canario#cite_note-UPPCC-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Presa type guard and <a title="Hunting dog" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_dog">catch</a> dogs are mentioned in historical documents of the 16th and 17th centuries. It is believed that the Perro de Presa Canario was created during the 18th century for the purpose of property and flock guarding, the holding and driving of livestock, and exterminating wild or stray dogs.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-UKC_1-0"><a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presa_Canario#cite_note-UKC-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> The breed was also used for dog fighting, a tradition the English settlers transplanted along with their Mastiff and Bulldog breeds. Canary Islanders consider these fights "honor fights" and not the sole purpose of the animal. Presa type dogs were referred to as the "perro de la tierra" or "dog of the land".</p>
<p>The breed became nearly extinct after dog fighting was outlawed in the 1940s, even though clandestine fights were known to continue during the next decade. Additionally the <a title="German Shepherd="Shepherd" Dog" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd_Dog">German Shepherd Dog</a>, the <a title="Doberman Pinscher" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doberman_Pinscher">Doberman Pinscher</a>, and the <a title="Great Dane" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Dane">Great Dane</a> were introdcued to the island with these breeds becoming popular with dog enthusiasts.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-UPPCC_0-1"><a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presa_Canario#cite_note-UPPCC-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> The breed was revived in the 1970s with the help of several crosses by various breeders.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-UKC_1-1"><a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presa_Canario#cite_note-UKC-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> This period is generally known as the reconstruction of the breed, with atypical specimens becoming less common.</p> |
