The oldest and the most famous breeders of original Perro de Presa Canario were Manuel Curto Gracia, and Mr. Juan Carlos Asensio who owned Atlas-Asio kennel. Atlas-Asio kennel doesn't exists any more, but there are some breeders who still have Atlas-Asio blood lines. Our Hercules de Castle of Presa has very similar look to those old Atlas-Asio Presas, maybe even better, and he has definitely the same drive. We are proud that we can recreate the old glory of the original Presas (not "Dogos") with our new Castle of Presa blood lines.

Here on the left you can see Mora de Irema Curto from 1990-98. Curto started with dogs like Mora, but they don't have this type of Presas anymore. On the right you can see young Arain de Castle of Presa. He looks very much like Curto's Presas 20 years ago. We are back where Curto started. We are proud to present Presa beauty in his best. Arain just earned "Best of Breed" and "Best in Show" in Finland.

Panthera, Tarzana and Hercules were born and raised in our kennel. I have had and trained many dogs since 1972, but these three are the best dogs I've ever had. They are every trainer's dream. Usually you repeat new trick about 50-80 times during several months to make it permanent. Well, I showed "Stay" to Panthera and Tarzana 3 times and it became permanent. Anytime I say stay, they know what I want from them, and they do it right without any correction. It took me about the same time to teach these three dogs "Jump" over an 8 feet wide wash (ditch). Now, anytime I point my finger on ditch, and say jump, they jump over. It's fun to train these dogs, they are so smart.

Panthera de Castle of Presa Panthera is extremely intelligent with a high drive and a stable balanced temperament. This large female looks like a Panther, moves like a Panther and shows very defensive properties when it comes to protect her territory and her loved ones. Panthera has a very impressive appearance. She is an excellent guard dog, and fearless protector.

Hercules de Castle of Presa is one of our best male Presas and another "Dream dog" He has a stable balanced temperament combined again with a strong defensive drive. This dog has everything what a real Presa is supposed to be. He is sweet and gentle house dog, loves children and likes to play with puppies. At the same moment he can change into a fearless aggressive protector, if anyone attempts to hurt his loved ones. This dog clearly shows our success in our Perro de Presa Canario breeding.

Phantom is an Import from Canary Islands. Phantom is intelligent, calm, but loaded with energy. He has a stable temperament, and extremely high defensive drive. He has a confident hard full grip bite, the bite which can crush bones. You need to use a very hard sleeve for protection training, but still, you've got the feeling that he will rip your hand off. Phantom is easy to train, his reflexes are built fast and are permanent.
