I hate to ask, but how long do they live? Are they cursed with the large breed short lifespan?




Actually they have a 10 to 12 year lifespan.

The description Sam quoted describes him to a tee. Excellent family dog, lets the kids do anything with him and has never batted an eyebrow. Great with their friends but suspicious of all strangers. Really intelligent dogs, he wakes up my boys by name, just tell him who to wake up and he’s on it. I can leave a steak on the coffee table all day long and he wouldn’t touch it. He’s almost 3 years old and he hasn’t gotten into trouble once in his life, that’s no joke.

Up until the day we bought him I had never heard of a Pressa Canario, I’ve always had Rottweilers, but he sure has grown on the family. Some days he’s too relaxed though.

That's very similar to my German Shorthairs. I can't leave a steak on the coffee table for three seconds and they haven't gone a day in their life without getting in trouble.

That one under your left arm's sure got those trouble eyes!!!!


Oh yeah! She is the mastermind.


The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation. I can tell you deliverance will not come from the rushing noisy centers of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. Fridtjof Nansen
