Presa attacks woman in florida

yes, very unfortunate situation...also not a good thing for the presa in the usa,strangley enough it has not attracted the same attention as the s.f attack,possably a good thing for all us presa enthusiests and owners,for now im only a enthusiest

This is very bad for the breed. But we must remambre that presa is not a vicious and man-killing animal. There are many dog attacks in the word made by all dog breeds. It only means that somebody made mistake, not that the dog is bad. There is really very, very small percent of dogs that are not psychic-ballanced. The most important thing is to have responsible breeders and responsible oners. If you buy an adult it needs more time to make you his master than puppy. And when people start to have interests they forget about some simple tasks... I'm really sorry for this woman and for her family. But we need to remambre that many accidents - not only this witch dogs - wouldn't happen if pople would think before doing something. A dog is a dog. Man is the one that should whink for himself and for the dog.

I agree, The Presa is a wonderful breed, and it's a shame that the women was attacked. People and the media always blow molosser breed attacks out of proportion. How come we never hear when a beagle or a golden retriever attacks someone....simply riduculous.... :roll:

that's not for the presa i own a presa and she is not that mean but she's still not a joke the older she get. i never knew this happen why would she get a presa that old for her first presa not good and why if she new so little about the breed would they sale that dog to her they set her up. thats sad all blessings to her and her family.

[quote=geisthexe]I have to agree Presa's are nice gentle giants but on the twist side very good guardians. The story you are speaking about happened last year. First off the lady bought a full grown dog from Spain, second she knew nothing of the dog and tried to give it a bath in her yard w/ no one home. Couple of strikes there from the start. Not saying that what the dog did was wrong but what the new owner did wrong from the start. I know even when I brought in a full grown adult female in my home I tried to get to know her first before I stuck my noise and said I am going to do this w/o anyone home. It was a truly bad and sad story for us as Presa owners and for the family. The only one that saw all this happen in that family was the womans little girl.[/quote] the dog was 11 months old (not full grown) and she had it from a pup.. she had 2 of them imported from spain as she wanted protection from her ex husband, she was a stripper and never at home with her kids or dogs, had countless run ins with the law because her dogs were always wondering the streets when she wasnt there and even sometimes when she was there. she was a complete tool and as harsh as it sounds, got what she had comming to her. i also hardly doubr the dog damn near tore her head off for just washing him, she had a 9 year old girl standing right next to her that wasnt harmed atall... it wouldnt suprise me if she raised a hand at her child for whatever reason and got taught a lesson, a big one! her "boyfriend" bathed both her presas and pitbull numerous times and was never attacked, hmmmmm :roll:

If you really think that a Beagle attacks w/ the same intensity and effectiveness as a large guardian breed then please tell us. I know I'd enjoy the entertainment. Simply put, the smear campaigns of the media are terrible. It's more about sensationalism than journalism, today. I admit that it bothers me and it's unfair, but I'm a happier person for looking past it. Just like our food, information is over processed; it's tough to get true facts. BUT some breeds are clearly more aggressive and powerful than others. Some breeds have been bred to fukk shit up. This Presa was one and this woman made mistakes around it. I can understand resentment over smearing Pit Bulls as vicious dogs since they were bred NOT to bite humans, and since many breeds have been heavily influenced by the APBT because of that quality. However, bullterrier*mastiff crosses WERE bred to wreck havoc.
