Read in the news the other day that certain countries are trying to make this breed go exstint. As in all dog must be neutered/spayed so they can no longer reproduce, eventually going exstint. They are considered dangerous dogs in several countries. But so are pit bulls, but that is because of bad owners, not the breed. Apparently they are known for thinking for themselves and will sometimes disobey orders to do what they think needs to be done. I'd reckomend a knowledge of dog training and maybe having the dog temperment tested. It's probably wise to go with your gut feeling about how the individual dog acts and associates itself with you.

Only if you know what you are doing. I know I saw them on a list of "Dangerous Dog Breeds" or "Banned Dog Breeds" somewhere on the internet. I am only guessing because I don't know any Presa Canaros personally, but I think they are on that list for a reason. I'd find out why before I adopted one!

Only if you are a extremely experienced dog owner and know how to control and train a very strong, dominant, and intelligent dog. Presas are NOT the breed for the average dog owner.

I would use caution. They can be great dogs, but they were bred as guard dogs, and are very powerful and strong willed. Make sure you have the time to invest in proper training, socialization, and rehabilitating him from whatever may have happened in his past.
