D&G Kennels is
owned and operated by Randy and Lauren Green. We are a kennel out
of Georgia, about 45 min. west of Atlanta. Our primary goal at D&G
Kennels is to improve the breed of the Presa Canario / Dogo Canario.
We are members of the Board of Directors for the breed club here
in the states -- the DCCA;
and we are two of only a few American members of the Spanish breed
club -- the CEDC. Randy
is also a co-founder of the the WDCA
with Jen of Cabeza Grande Kennel.
We breed only top quality Presa/Dogo bloodlines imported from Spain
or the Canary Islands. We personally travel to the Canary Islands
to import our own dogs , chosen for their working ability, health,
and correct conformation. We are currently the only Americans to
travel yearly to the Canary Islands to see the largest Spanish conformation
show, the Monografica, and we are the only Americans to have ever
participated in the Monografica. We are also home to the only 3
live Spanish Champion males in the country.
Buying a dog from us ensures that you will receive one that has
been bred for previously mentioned characteristics: working ability,
health, and correct conformation. Our dogs are bred to be highly
capable guard dogs as well as loyal family friends and protectors.
In regards to paperwork, our dogs are registered through FCI / PR,
the same registry used in Spain and the Islands, and also through
the Dogo Canario Club of
America (DCCA). FCI paper work is recognized by UKC and AKC
Foundation Stock, however we personally do not register with these
clubs.
FCI IS NOT THE SAME AS FIC !!!!
Please take the time to understand the difference. To ensure that
your presa is from true Spanish blood, you must have FCI paperwork.
Because so many breeders have bred their Presas to fit
their own standards, the TRUE Presa type has become somewhat lost
in the mix. "Rare" colors (such as blue, solid white,
or solid black) and excessive size and aggression are NOT
characteristics of a true Dogo Canario.
Colors of the Dogo Canario range from brindle to fawn. These are
the ONLY colors of the Dogo Canario.
WE ENCOURAGE
POTENTIAL OWNERS TO DO THEIR RESEARCH AND KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD
BE LOOKING FOR IN A PRESA CANARIO!
There are many breeders who will take advantage of an unsuspecting
or uneducated buyer. An ethical breeder and true breed enthusiast
will take the time to answer any questions you may have and explain
the breed to you.
We have listed the
following links to help those that are interested to become more
aware of what a Presa/Dogo Canario should (or should NOT!) be.
