Perro de Presa Canario

The Perro de Presa Canario is a large Spanish dog that was traditionally bred to work with livestock. The breed is also known as a “Canarian catch dog”, and if their appearance is anything to go by, it seems unsurprising that they might be a little aggressive toward other dogs and a little suspicious of strangers. They can be a little more domesticated if they are subjected to early socialization and obedience training, but it still seems like risky choice for a family pet.

Originating from Germany, Boxers are large breed that offers a cross between an Old English Bull Dog and a Bullenbeisser, and can grow to between 50 to 70 lbs. Boxers are not particularly aggressive, and are known for their bright, playful and energetic personalities, so are a little more family-friendly than some other dogs on the list. However they do still have a headstrong side and if provoked can tend to go on the offensive. So, you would have to keep this in mind if you leave them off the leash.
