[Scorpio78]

well from my research and what i have seen on here and other places :

1 J7

2 WINJIM KENNELS (http://www.breedersonline.co.uk/dog-breeder.asp?userid=4655)


A good few people on here have dogs from the above breeders. Also there is rogue kennels.

[magee]

I have a pup of winjim . :)

I have seen his dogs and they are awesome, his male dog , troy, is MASSIVE!. I only got my pup off him recently , he is a nice approachable guy too:).

Your on the right tracks with J7 (goes without saying) and also Win Jim I am hearing good reports of.

On the matter of massive dogs, well its best not to get too blinked by size rules, depending on what functional role you’re looking for your dog to play
then be very careful, if it’s a natural deterrent then possibly it may work for you, if your looking for athletic ability and sharpness/ drive etc then some of the best around dwell in the 40 kilo league, though there are exceptions to this. :)

to be honest i would like to get a female just a personal choice
that will be a visual deterrent at my house and gardens i do not want to do any bite/hold training but do want to be able to go for runs along the beach /woods and not chance messing the dog up
i have a bull terrier cross and a springer both of which are getting old and the springer is the only one that will bark at strangers but not really menacing looking
and theres quite a bit of money in my garden so i thought a presa would be a good choice and so far have only spoke to tres adlia ,
but would like some ,more numbers to ring

thanks

[magee]

the most popular can anyone shed light on the build temprement and other info on these kennels please

[magee]

Hi,

I will try and help you. Not many people do it this way, but to prevent yourself, spending a lot of money on a dog you end up either giving away, reselling or even worse have to get the dog terminated.

End up in hospital with a dog from nervous or aggresive breedings.

If you do your research, you will end up with the dog you want, but remeber you have to live with the dog every day, sometimes more than what people want, or sometimes not enough.

In my opinion the true or real presas live there lives on a knife edge, very easy to tip them either way, too defensive, or to prey drivey.

Keeping your dog balanced on that knife edge is not for novice dog owners.

So this is how I would approach your quest, forget looking to buy for now, go call up each breeder, make an appointment, go see for your self, ask about health tests, hip/elbow scores, look at the parent stock, ask the breeder topull his own dogs to bits in their own eyes/words, all dogs have good and bad points.

OH sorry I did not know the perfect dog had been bred yet?

look at the facilities, background checks, ask to speak to there vets for a reference etc, hiow many litters are produced how often, temprement would they leave there presa unattended with their children?

When you have travelled from wales to london, london to derby, derby to barnsley, up to newcastle and down to plymouth you will have seen most worht looking at.

You will find different poeple want different things from their dogs and selectivley breed for such.

Decide then what you really, really want and if it is a Presa or a dogo or a gsd or bull mastiff.

Search this forum and you will find all the people you need to, goodluck on you quest, look and research before you buy and get a companion for 10+ years.

Best of luck,

JC.

PS manners and patience go a long way.;)

The only daft question is the one you don't ask!

IE does any one have a phone no. for such A PERSON?

Solid advice and words of experience.

Worst you can do is go head first into the breed, especially if you aren't going to apply experience either of your's or listen to others; e.g. socialisation, leaving the working aspects in the hands of the breeder's whose stock you picked because they have managed the genetics to the highest odds possible for you already ...get the time, control and bonding in place and if you have the commitment thereafter, do the work if you can find the right trainer, or get the dog tested once or twice as an adult (not 6mths, not 8mths) for that piece of mind knowing what you have.

so is there any meets / shows / events that i can go to meet up ect ect
