A message from the PCCA:

The Presa Canario Club of America, the official club of the Presa Canario in the United States, is pleased with our longstanding
and rich relationship with the Presa Canario Club of Spain. We have celebrated together, learned together, struggled together
and grown together. It is an honor for me to be the official delegate and representative from this part of the World to the
“mother club” and founder of the breed.
It is also an honor for us to participate, as much as possible, in Spanish club meetings and hear from the diversity of
perspectives of members within the club. It has been an honor to support, promote, participate in, compete in, help judge,
and sponsor the Spanish Monográfica and to have the support, promotion, participation, judging, competition, and
sponsorship from the Spanish Club and its members at the American Monográfica and many other regional events.
We have benefited greatly from the knowledge, wisdom, and advice from members of the Spanish club with their rich
understanding and familiarity with the historical and social context under which the breed was developed. In our frequent
visits to Spain and the Canary Islands, we have been privileged to bring breeding stock back to the United States along with the
original perspective and knowledge upon which the breed was founded.
We have additionally benefitted by the close association with members of the board of directors, including the club president,
who have helped to select judges for our national Presa Canario events and facilitated the arrangements for their travel to the
United States. We are grateful for their immense assistance and contribution.
Our common goal is to push forward with the advancement and improvement of the Presa Canario breed. Through education,
conformation events, performance events, explanations of historical backgrounds, and providing a platform and authority for
experts to teach about this amazing breed, each club is doing its part to honor those in the past who commenced this work.
We are excited to continue this endeavor we have consistently and unceasingly worked towards for 27 years.

HISTORICAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE PCCA

The Presa Canario Club of America, it’s Officers, and Board of Directors have been working “behind the scenes” diligently for the last 5+ years directly with the American Kennel Club (AKC), and we are fully committed to preserving the breed's health and future by establishing a presence and authority over the Presa Canario breed within this organization.The American Kennel Club, a not-for-profit organization, is the nation's oldest, largest, and most esteemed purebred dog registry.

Dog breed clubs are made up of passionate dog owners, breed fanciers, and purebred breeders. Each AKC breed has a National Club, also known as a Parent Club.The AKC approves only one Parent Club for each breed. The Presa Canario Club of America has been approved as the AKC Parent Club for the Presa Canario.

What now!?
Help us build the foundation for the Presa Canario breed within the AKC by registering your dog with the AKC FSS program and begin attending AKC functions where our breed is allowed, so we can show the whole world what our amazing Presa Canario breed is all about! Gaining full recognition with the AKC is no easy task. Dogs must first begin in the Foundation Stock Program, and then, through the dedicated work of the parent club, the Presa Canario Club of America, and the hard work of ethical breeders, owners, handlers, and enthusiasts, the breed becomes eligible to move to Miscellaneous status. The next step after this status change is FULL BREED RECOGNITION. We need your help and continued dedication to make this a reality for our beloved Presa Canario.

Help us become the best AKC Parent Club possible through getting involved! Communicate directly with your PCCA Officers and Board of Directors, volunteer your time to the Club, participate in Club events, positively engage in Club social media, and above all - keep being the best Presa Canario owners or breeders through thoughtful engagement, education, and ethical practices outlined by the Presa Canario Club of America.

Happy New Year from the Presa Canario club of America!

We are ringing in 2023 with the OFFICIAL FIRST RELEASE of our 2023 Calendar of Events!

As you can see there are still a lot of details we need to work on in the upcoming year to make these the PCCA events the caliber and success you all have grown to know and love, but if you are anything like us...you want some time to plan ahead and be thinking about what an awesome 2023 you will have with your dog traveling to all your PCCA events.

Starting off STRONG in Kentucky, Spring 2023 with our Southern Regional Specialty and Championships, PCCA Temperament Testing and Working and Performance Event.

Then we will be READY FOR ACTION at our Southeast Regional Specialty and Championships at the Newton Agricultural Center in Covington, Georgia on MAY 13.

Kicking off SUMMER 2023, with the SUNS OUT GUNS OUT -MIDWEST Regional Specialty and Championships, we will look for another opportunity to partner up for some DOUBLE championship point action for all our PCCA exhibitors.

SAVE THE DATE SEPTEMBER 22-24 at our second home, at Purina Farms in Grey Summit, MO for the LARGEST PRESA CANARIO EVENT IN THE WESTERN HEMPISHERE, the 2023 National Specialty and Championships, MONOGRAFICA and PCCA Working and Performance Event!!!
