Presa Mallorquin
Breeders
Originating in Spain, the Presa Mallorquin, also known as the Perro Dogo
Mallorquin and the Ca de Bou, is a medium-sized, powerful mastiff-type guard
dog. Although usually calm, quiet, restrained and at ease, when danger
arises, this guard dog answers with tremendous courage and a piercing glare.
Like most mastiff-type dogs, the Presa Mallorquin is extremely
devoted to and protective of its family. This agile, quick-thinking breed
exhibits high stamina, quick feet and great jumping ability. A deep-chested,
solidly built dog, the males are ideally 22 to 23.2 inches tall at the
withers and weigh 77 to 83.6 pounds; females are 20.8 to 22 inches tall and
66 to 74.8 pounds. Its short, harsh coat comes in brindle, fawn and black,
with darker colors preferred. A black mask or small white patches on the
front feet, chest or in the coat are also permissible. The self-assured
Presa Mallorquin should have constant interaction with people and other
socialization as well as steady training beginning with puppyhood. This
breed is said to be good with children, and tolerant of other dogs and pets.
