As passionate and experienced breeders, we understand the significance of preserving the integrity of this majestic breed, ensuring that our dogs are not just beautiful but also healthy, strong, and well-tempered. Our approach to breeding focuses on quality over quantity, and we are deeply committed to delivering Presa Canario puppies that exceed expectations for those seeking these incredible dogs. Here, we’ll share our methods, passion, and dedication that make D&G Kennels the go-to choice for Presa Canario enthusiasts from Atlanta and beyond.
The Importance of Selecting the Right Bloodlines
When it comes to breeding Presa Canarios, one of the most crucial factors we consider at D&G Kennels is the selection of the right bloodlines. The Presa Canario, originally bred for guarding and herding livestock in the Canary Islands, is a powerful, loyal, and protective breed. Its temperament and health are largely determined by its genetic makeup, which is why we pay particular attention to the bloodlines of every dog in our breeding program.
Our focus on maintaining high-quality Presa Canario bloodlines begins with sourcing dogs from well-established, reputable breeders who prioritize health and temperament. We ensure that all dogs used in our breeding program come from lines that are not only strong in structure but also exhibit the desired traits of the breed, such as confidence, intelligence, and loyalty. This careful selection process ensures that our puppies are born with the best potential for greatness, making them ideal for a variety of purposes, including family pets, working dogs, or show prospects.
Additionally, by choosing bloodlines that have been proven to produce healthy, balanced dogs, we reduce the likelihood of hereditary health problems, which is vital for the well-being of the puppies and the long-term satisfaction of our clients. Our commitment to selecting the best bloodlines sets us apart as one of the leading Atlanta dog breeders specializing in Presa Canarios.
Commitment to Health and Longevity
At D&G Kennels, we understand that the health of our dogs is paramount. Our responsibility as breeders extends beyond simply producing aesthetically pleasing dogs; we are dedicated to ensuring that every Presa Canario puppy we produce is in optimal health. This is why we follow a strict health screening protocol for all of our breeding dogs. Before any breeding takes place, each dog undergoes thorough health checks, including evaluations for common genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and other hereditary diseases that can affect the Presa Canario breed.
Our commitment to health extends to every step of the breeding process, from the initial selection of dogs to the health and well-being of the puppies once they are born. We work closely with a network of experienced veterinarians to ensure that all of our dogs are in top physical condition and that any potential health concerns are addressed early. This includes regular vet visits, vaccinations, parasite control, and nutritional guidance to support the overall health and longevity of our dogs.
In addition to physical health, we also focus on the mental and emotional health of our dogs. The Presa Canario is known for its protective instincts, which, when nurtured properly, make them outstanding companions. By providing early socialization, positive reinforcement, and a stimulating environment for our puppies, we ensure that they grow up to be well-rounded, confident, and stable individuals. This holistic approach to breeding guarantees that the dogs we produce are not only physically sound but also mentally strong and capable of thriving in various environments.
Expertise in Raising Well-Socialized Puppies
Socialization plays a critical role in the development of any dog, and at D&G Kennels, we understand the importance of exposing our Presa Canario puppies to a wide range of experiences and stimuli from an early age. This helps them develop into well-adjusted dogs that can adapt to different situations and environments with confidence.
Our approach to socialization begins early in the puppy’s life. From the moment they are born, we ensure that the puppies are handled with care, love, and respect. We expose them to various people, sounds, and environments to ensure that they grow up accustomed to a variety of sights and sounds. This includes introducing them to household noises, children, and other pets, so they can become comfortable in a family environment. We also take great care to socialize our puppies with other dogs, both from within our kennel and in controlled environments outside of our facility.
At D&G Kennels, we understand that proper socialization is essential for producing a well-behaved Presa Canario. These dogs can be naturally protective and independent, which can sometimes translate into reserved behavior around strangers or unfamiliar situations. Through proper socialization, we are able to foster the best qualities of the breed, ensuring that our dogs are confident, but not aggressive, and that they are comfortable around new people, environments, and experiences.
Additionally, we work with the puppies on basic obedience training to set them up for success in their new homes. By introducing them to the concepts of sit, stay, come, and leash walking, we ensure that they are on their way to becoming well-mannered, trainable companions.
Building Trust and Lasting Relationships with Clients
At D&G Kennels, we don’t just see our clients as customers; we view them as part of the D&G family. Our goal is not just to breed and sell Presa Canarios, but to build lasting relationships with our clients. We understand that bringing a new dog into your home is a significant commitment, and we are here to provide support throughout the lifetime of the dog.

We offer guidance on selecting the right puppy based on your lifestyle, preferences, and living situation, ensuring that you choose the perfect fit for your family.
