Presa Canario
Those that own and breed.
How is this breed in hot Florida weather?
Can it hike or run for 5 to 10 miles in summer or be winded and unable to continue?
I've been viewing different breeders and seeing Presas weighing anywhere from 80 lbs to 160 lbs. What is a good Presa in shape and able to guard what weight in your opinion?
Can it get along with other dogs if raised with them as a pup?
Also owning more that one Presas any issues?
What breeders are excellent breeders of the Presa?
Thanks.

This is a great question and I will wait for @eliteguardianpresa to chime in. The UKC puts minimum weight for a male is 100 and female is 85. To keep the dog functional I would recommend staying close to those minimums.
Also @feerrios could share his knowledge on this topic.

hi there , i just seen the post ,
in this breed is fundamental that you ask those questions , i have send 3 presas to Florida, the 3 of them have been doing very well , also have 3 in the Texas heat! black ones in coat , they do fine also ,
have to mention that they do come from a working stock , most aren too heavy but not small also , our females can reach 120 lbs , no problem and most of our males get to 135-155 the biggest.
2 in Florida are doing protection work and one is hog hunting also. this is tango D'7islas

he weighs around 140 ,
28" at the withers
i can get some videos from his owner, i got a couple of him catchings hogs when he was just starting to hog hunting.
he do fine with other dogs , but his training for that starts at very young age , so he doesn't become too aggressive towards the other dogs
tango do very well on his home , so much that a 6 Year old girl live with him most of the time. but i always advice that if you going to have more than one , do it in couples , never the same sex.
