http://findmypetahome.com/duke-2/ Healthy, handsome 3 year old male Presa Canario for adoption to experienced owners. Duke weights 125 pounds and is affectionate and well behaved with his owners.

He is seeking a home with very experienced owners familiar with his breed. All supplies will be included. Hi, My name is Duke! From my gorgeous brindle coat to my majestic size, I am a very nice representation of the Presa Canario breed. I am a purebred dog, and have lived with my current owner since I was a puppy. I love my owner and his family very much. I am gentle, playful, loyal and very sweet. I love children. Unfortunately, my owner, a young man, is having to move to an apartment. Of course, most apartments do not allow my breed, and a small apartment is not a good environment for a 125 pound guard dog. Typical for my breed, I have a strong tendency for guarding my owner and his family, and I am quite distrustful of strangers – particularly men. I have shown aggression towards men I do not know or feel comfortable with. This is not a behavior issue, but rather a very typical personality trait in my breed. We have been bred for centuries to guard livestock, hearth and home. For these reasons, I am in desperate need of a loving new home right away. I really need to be placed in a home with people who can give me the strong guidance I need to understand that I am not in charge. A country home, farm or acreage would be ideal for me, but a suburban home with a large, securely fenced yard would be fine, too. People who understand and have experience with my breed are a must. My owner loves me very much, and is heartbroken to have to make this very difficult decision. He realizes that this is not the time in his life to own a dog like me, and is dearly hoping to find me a wonderful home with people who are able to give me the care, companionship and firm handling that I need and deserve. Here’s what my owners love most about me: His beautiful eyes The way he carries himself. He’s a beautiful dog. He is good company The way he greets me after a long day at work Please offer me a loving home today. If you have any questions about me, please call Debbie Moore toll free at 888 720-3322.

I'm in Springfield, OH. Have A lot of experience with Mastiffs and mastiffs breeds. I would ask how is Duke with other Mastiff breeds, ie English Mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Saint Bernards? I would be very interested, but the issue would be you list him as a alpha dog, where as he would frequent these breeds. The DDB's are working lines and the 3 E.M's he would be around are all breed to be higher energy and for working. How does he do with pups? As in Sept I'll be bringing home a Boerboel?
Also what paperwork do you have he is purebred as his head does not fit the classic shape? (It is to long and houndish)
WHOA - The AD says this dog has BITTEN 3 people and that the owner can't risk a lawsuit. He says the dog doesn't like adult males (people). This dog sounds dangerous. I have a feeling that is mostly why he's being given away. Also - those photos look like PUPPY photos.
I agree about the photos looking like they are of a puppy.. I would also be concerned if the dog has bitten 3 people.
It is an old post Larry. They never responded to you, so I think he was probably rehomed back in 2016.
