Comment to 'Great info on Presa'
  • [quote=Dogobabe]There really isn't any major difference between Presa and Dogo. when the breed was recognised, dogs went to bed presas, and woke up dogo's. There are those who try to make them out as separate breeds (i.e one is the orignial, and one is a show dog) but basically that's just marketing tactics for why their dogs don't have to live up to the standard, and they can breed whatever they want.[/quote]TOTALLY INCORRECT. You have to look at the motives behind this comment. Dogo's were bred to look good with no attention to functionality. Presa's were bred for function foremost. There is no surprise why there is a huge rift between dogo and presa owners. The best advice I can give is to do a huge amount of research, and try to talk with those who were involved with the reconstruction of the breed. And also consider their motives. It was not just a name change. You have people who own dogo's callin their dogs presa's(doesn't make sense). If you own a dogo, call it a dogo. If you own a presa, then can rightfully call it a presa.
