A day at the trails with my puppy and horses
A day at the trails with my puppy and horses Her name is Olive - 16 weeks - 65lbs
And the new(er) Horse, "Ginger", and yes thats my ugly *** riding. Shes about to turn 6 yrs old
I ended up taking the horses to the trails yesterday instead of riding on the farm so I didnt take Olive, just too young and too inexperienced around horses and other peoples horses in particular. I worked with her for a bit before and after we left though, right now I'm training to ride in the back of the truck...
I was saddling Ginger today, went to tighten her up and something spooked her. She lifted her *** end and came down on my big toe with the fury. She weighs roughly 900lbs. Her weight with the downward force hurt worse than barb wire wrapped around my pecker. Probably not that bad but it hurt nonetheless.
Anyone else ride?

She's a true Presa Canario. If you check on Wikipedia, they list Dogo's as the same breed. This could not be further from the truth...
Thanks for the kind words. She really is a spectacular dog. Smart, Hard Working, Loving, and getting BIG! Getting good around the horses, just has a bad habit of walking underneath them. I guess it just takes one good kick.
She's really good at laying on the couch too.

They are used for many different reasons but they were bred and have a very strong working nature. Working cattle, horses, land, etc. They have kind of caught a bad wrap in the states and recently banned in Canada but simply because dumb asses used them for fighting and aggressive behavior. To answer your question, they are great hunting dogs and their body struture helps going through water and rough terrain.
They arent like pit bulls with an evolutionary factor to fight, however they do take a strong hand in training and dominance. They really can be some of the best dogs out there. Olive is great around my 7 lb Shih Tzu and our 4 lb miniature Chihuahua. She has no problem with little kids including my 6 month old god daughter.
If you are looking for a dog with purpose, drive, and unmatched loyalty, they are for you. And as I said before, they are great at being lazy when the time is right.

About the "incident"
Whipple was killed on January 26, 2001 by two large Presa Canario/mastiff dogs who attacked her in the hallway of the apartment building. The dogs were owned by neighbors, Marjorie Knoller and her husband Robert Noel, both attorneys. Knoller failed to restrain her dogs when they attacked Whipple. Noel was not present during the attack.
The jury found Noel and Knoller guilty of involuntary manslaughter and owning a mischievous animal that caused the death of a human being. The jury also found Knoller guilty of second degree murder. Their convictions were based on the claim that they knew the dogs were aggressive towards other people and did not take sufficient precautions with such large and dangerous animals. Whether they had actually trained the dogs to attack and fight remained unclear.
A few people testified against them, including a professional dog walker, who, after telling Noel to muzzle his dogs, was told to "shut up" and called offensive names. Another one of Noel's acquaintances stated that Noel did not apologize after the acquaintance had been viciously bitten by one of the dogs.
The dogs had been raised on behalf of 38-year-old Paul Schneider, a high-ranking member of the prison gang Aryan Brotherhood who was serving a life sentence in Pelican Bay State Prison. Schneider and his cellmate Dale Bretches were attempting to start an illegal Presa Canario fighting-dog business from within the prison cell. Noel and Knoller had become acquainted with Schneider while doing legal work for prisoners, and, for some reason, adopted him as their son a few days before the mauling.[1] They agreed to take possession of the dogs when the previous caretaker, a farmer near the prison, fell out of favor with Schneider after the dogs attacked and killed a goat and a few chickens without ever being corrected, thus both of them assuming they could continue with such behavior. The dogs were chained to a remote corner of the farm, which caused them even more problems with aggression.

You are correct. Dogo's are white in color (all of them)
