@Sugarpop: In response to your question, the Presa Canario is a bully-type dog, and as such is a very forceful and dominant breed. However, they are not NECESSARILY more "dangerous" than other bully breeds, if socialized and trained correctly, just like any other dog from ANY other breed. Pound-for-pound, toy breeds are often more dangerous than the bigger breeds; the reason you don't hear about Chihuahua attacks on the news, however, is that the toy breeds aren't considered "fighting" or "dangerous" dogs... because they're so little and "cute". I have a one-year-old daughter, and I would trust her to a well-trained pit bull or Presa Canario before I'd trust her to any of the "toy" breeds!
