The Perro de Presa Canario
(The Packer dog Canaries)
There was a time when there was an interest in Packer dogs. came from this time
land the old "Bulldogs" (Bull Dog) from England, the "Brabant bulldog" in German which the predecessor of the "German boxer" was.
And in Spain there was the "Perro de Presa." Translated
it means: Packer dog. At a Presa on the bull
was used saying: El Perro de Toro "-
"The bull dog." Hunting dogs to say: "El Perro de Gazza"
or "El Perro de Presa. "La Gazza" is a broad term for
"Hunting." In Spain, the hunt was on for Presa defiant
Wild and used for guarding property.
And as was customary, the Presa well as fighting dogs
used. The first colonization of the Canaries is time
not known. There are many assumptions and evidence
that it could have been a Berber tribes from North Africa.
The documented history of the Canary Islands begins with the conquest of the archipelago by the Normans
(Normans were descendants of the Norsemen
"Viking" after the invasion of England in the
Britanie, northwestern peninsula of France have settled)
Lean de Bethencourt by the Castilian King Henry III sent under the guise of Christian mission, but rather for economic interest, the Canary Islands.
The conquest of all the islands extended over nearly a century,
from the first arrival Bethencourt in 1402 in Lanzarote to the submission of the last islands of Tenerife
Alonso Fernandez de Lugo 1496th
The Konquisitatoren applied to support
Their troops, dogs on the islands.
Even Columbus and Hernan Cortez took advantage of dogs
to deal with the Indians in the New World.
Then troops were equipped hard
and persecution in armor and horse were
in rough terrain very difficult or even impossible.
The defense was certainly an advantage over
the native population. This advantage occurred at the expense of mobility. Dogs chased after the Aborigines.
Sun troops were not surprised and disturbed the attackers on your project. These were either killed by the dogs and the mercenaries could be sure not to be surprised by arrow attacks.
During this time went by then the stone age culture
Guanches, the original inhabitants of the islands, almost lost,
one hand by massive repression by the conqueror, the other by the interests of the Natives brought to
Innovations. Since the end of the conquest in 1496 include the Canaries to Spain.
It is certainly interesting to know the historical outline,
to understand the racial origin.
Now was after the conquest of the Canary Islands
Presence of the Perro de Presa documented.
Due to the former way of life and another
Understanding about it was the responsibility of the
Presa and its maintenance problems.
In a document of 1501, the council approved a
Keeping Presas for every farmer keeps the pigs.
A proof that the Presas were kept as working dogs for agricultural purposes and for this
Tasks were useful.
In 1516 it was an order, this type of dog for the
use free-running dogs destruction in order to avoid damage from stray dogs. The issuing authority gave a Don Pedro de Lugo, this object in the possession of a
Pair Perro de Presas was.
1526 issued a decree to kill all Presas, as a result of
Dogs too much damage was caused on the island. An exception was the
Dogs that were owned by Don Pedro de Lugo or
Butchers were given to you on at work
to help slaughterhouse.
1617, the local council of Betancuria (Fuerteventuria)
out a right to kill anyone unlawfully causes damage to the Presa.
Without the one who killed the Presa has to reckon with penalty
had.
Dogs were even then the property of the holder and
This could even make the then legal situations cheeky damage claims.Every free man tried
then to be given justice.
Now this law was about the Presa Canario with a
"To compare bird free jurisdiction.
1618 is a decree that all the Presas in the public
Leash are to lead and must be held for good on a chain.
This whole development was a constant back and forth, since 1624
there was again a decree that only those who may hold a Perro de Presa of the country and home maintains and uses it for hunting and operation. Thus, the decree was lifted of 1617.
1630 Presa owners were ordered to court, since Presas suffered damage. The matter has been resolved, and so
did it again only in 1654 with an order to kill all the Presas cause damage to the island, kept out of the work and were used to the home.
From 1737 were only allowed to keep farmers and drivers Presas.
From 1940 dog fighting was banned officially. Nevertheless, the islands have long been operated fights. There were challenges which were adopted. They included for example like this in a hut behind a slaughterhouse near Santa Cruz there were fighters, and the Presa as it were the motor of the dogs fight. It also tried other breeds at the Presa, Bullmastiff, Bulldog, Mastiff, Bull Terrier. With all the Presa was finished.And stabbed a dog of another race victorious, it was compared to the small number of exceptions and the struggles hardly worth mentioning.The work of the Presas was in early times is to kill stray dogs. The Presa was the king of the dogs.
The Presa was held at the Canaries as a workhorse, as previously also working horses, donkeys and oxen. This industrialization and modernity made the use of working animals unatracktiv. Work horses disappeared and oxen were replaced by tractors. No butcher or farmer keeps dogs today to use these as Packer. As a guard dog of the Presa was still found on farms but also the Majorero. The Majorero is the dog of the farmers in Fuerteventura. A very easy learning dog breed, very tough and hard. Due to the old laws and the temporal development, as well as the prohibition of dog fighting the Presa was forgotten. With the remaining one Presas began to grow again, it also attempts have been made "German mastiff", "Mastiff" and "Bulldog" introgress. There were only tests. The character of the Presas had to remain unaltered. The only breed of dog that came into question was the Majorero because it had crosses from the old Presa. The last old Presas were crossed with the Majorero, and some fighting bulldog, old Mastino. Presa was the basis and Majorero, the largest proportion in comparison to other breeds.
The Presa Canario is a separate breed, and the Spanish lines are stable. The Presa Canario has a shape value of the Presa serves healthy and functional. The Presa is to be a dog that can move, stamina is a dog that can withstand loads of character and operatively and willingly accepts. A dog that protects its owner, his family and closest friends and loves. The term Dogo Canario is wrong and a betrayal of the Presa Canario and his breeders. True Presa breeders will not accept this name change. Since 2001, the Presa Canario was renamed to Dogo Canario. There are now firm differences in terms of character, health, conformation, performance and willingness to work.During the Dogo Canario Austellungsmolosser to degenerate. Presa breeders continue to work towards preserving the Presas in the sense of the default of 1989. This standard was governed before 1989. The Standard of the Presa Canario is not identical with that of the Dogo Canarios. Those who are purchasing a Dogo Canario decision should be clear that he supports a path to a healthy old breed is not for the purposes of maintaining and serving.
