Does anyone know where I can find a Presa Canario or Malinois shephard?

Have a contractor buddy that is looking for one.

No, but there is a world of difference between these two breeds.

 

[SwampKat]

He normally uses a malinois. Why he wants a presa, I have no idea.

 

[blackboltss]

He is going to have to travel for the Presa Canario.. i know of a couple breeders in GA.. dont think there are 2 many in LA.. i know a couple good Doberman breeders

 

[SwampKat]

That's better than getting from where he has in the past from Czech Republic.

Go Dobe! Hey Bbolt, my baby just turned 11. She runs through this house jumping off of sofas like a bouncing board at full speed. She's my 2nd. I'm gonna be in bad shape when this one goes. Hope your big boy is dong good. Peace out.

I have a buddy that got a Presa from a breeder in Georgia. She is a beast of a dog, about 170lbs of pure muscle. I am 6'4 and standing up on her hind legs we can almost see eye to eye.

Just wondering what someone does with a dog like that? Is it just a pet or a working dog?

Get yourself an Alaskan Malamute. Very quiet, don’t bark. They love to let you in, but won’t let you leave, very sneaky. Some look just like Wolves and act like them also. 150 lb. range normal. In my business we call them OVERWEIGHT, HEAVYBONED, CURLY TAILED WOLF.

Wow 11 thats awesome.. my big baby is only 10 but still acts like a lil pup. I love dobes, best dogs out there IMO... calm and content to be a big lazy lap dog but as soon as you start to play ITS ON!! smartest thing on 4 legs and the best guard dogs. i would trust my life with my dobe.

No, but there is a world of difference between these two breeds.

The biggest difference is the training methods and personality traits of the canines. As for as job performance as "man stoppers" both have the traits to do such. Countries like Astan that have a huge moloser dog breed of their own are not intimidated by traditional working breeds that are popular but they are intimidated by breeds they have not seen much of.. presa, black russian terrier, south african boerbol, DDR Rotts, giant schnauzers, etc.

Alaskan Malamute would not last 2 weeks in the environments we work in, It would overheat instantly and letting people "in" in my world equals bad injured or killed buddies so your referal gets a huge negative.

You may find a Cane Corso in La.

Friend of mine in Leesville, LA has two Presa's.

I'll see if I can get in contact with him to find out where he got them.

Thank You, also as further information.. I am not looking for an "Americanized" version of the Presa but the proper working version.

Mutt's approaching fifteen and going down hill. Since it takes time to research a new breed I started off handedly looking. So far I'm leaning towards the American Alsatian.

 

[K9CopSGT]

K-9 Concepts Jack and Sheree Robichaux. Excellent trainers of Belgian Malinois.

The K-9 I worked with from there took first place in USPCA Narcotics detection competition the same year we got her.

They are a little expensive, but the K-9s from there are worth every penny, and the price includes your training with the dog you choose.

love my Akita good all around dog just a lot of hair.

I know his mind is made up and he hasn't asked for breed recommendations but I'd choose a Working Strain Belgian Malinois or Dutch Shepherd. If more size and intimidation are required in a hot environment then I'd look for a Working Strain (Scott bloodline) American Bulldog - preferably from hog hunting stock. But that's just me.

I also have no issues with crossbreeds if done knowledgeably. An example: Catahoula + gamebred Pit Bull crossed into a Scott working American Bulldog (hog hunting strain). The result would be a lighter boned "bulldog" with a better nose and harder than the American Bulldog - not to mention more agile and with more endurance. Just an example for a hard, fast hunting/kill dog or farm dog.

There is a Malinois breeder who advertises on LS. He says they are "working" dogs - I've been curious to call because I'd like to know if he does schutzhund, s&r, etc. But, knowing myself, I'm afraid to call / go see pups - I am sure I couldn't resist taking one home. I grew up with 1950s era dobes but, I really like what I have seen with this breed - they're pretty impressive animals.
