Just for the heck of it I looked at the Presa Canario at a dog show, also the Cane Corso.
Yikes.

Yikes.
Seeing a Presa at an auto shop would make me very nervous.
SB, I saw a Presa years ago at a body shop when I picked up my car at night...paid cash.
I hear that the Presa Canario is the top choice of drug dealers and meth labs, especially in California. Apparently they can be trained to be so ferocious, they make the rotties and dobies look like society ladies at a tea.

Yes, I remember hearing about it in the news. Two Presas. Happened in San Francisco in 2001. I glanced at the online story when I created this thread. The dog owners (two lawyers) went to prison.
I think you meant your friend's dogs are Cane Corsos.
I followed that case. The husband is an attorney & both are dirtbags. The husband actually blamed the victim, saying "She caused the attack because she was a lesbian & she sent out the wrong pheromones which confused my dog."Fifteen or so years ago,there was a highly publicized case (and trial) of a Presa Canario that killed a woman that lived in the same apartment building. It was pretty gruesome. The dog`s owner was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to Life in prison. She was recently denied parole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Diane_Whipple
My friend has two Cane Canarios. The two of them are very sweet dogs. Great with kids.
