History
It’s believed that the Canary Dog’s ancestry can be attributed to the now extinct Bardino Majero breed. It was initially developed on the Canary Islands in the 1800’s for the purpose of dog fighting. The breed is likely the result of crosses between the Bardino Majero and the English Mastiffs that were imported to the area during that time. When dog fighting was outlawed, the Canary Dog nearly became extinct. A veterinarian by the name of Dr. Carl Semencic is responsible for reviving this breed.
Maintenance
The short, rough-haired coat of the Canary Dog is easy to groom and maintain. The coat should be brushed with a firm bristle brush and wiped down with a clean towel or chamois. Bathing and dry shampooing should be administered only as necessary. The canary dog is an average shedder.
Ideal Environment
-The Canary Dog does best in a home where he has plenty of leadership and training. As with all larger dogs, they should have a large yard and several controlled walks a day.
