PCCA Renews it's status as the Official American Delegate to the breed's origin country Parent Breed Club.

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.

Following the Spanish club’s efforts to make the Presa Canario recognized throughout much of the world, the Presa Canario Club of America has worked tirelessly to bring official recognition of the breed to the American Kennel Club. As the official club representing the Presa Canario, we are working to maintain its traditional and functional capabilities and embed that into the standard for future generations. The effort we have commenced will continue through a long process over the course of years, but will finally bring our breed out of obscurity in the Americas.

More than anything else, the Presa Canario Club of America seeks to express gratitude for our 27-year continuous association with the Presa Canario Club of Spain. We look forward to the decades ahead and a continuation of partnership and friendship

o the future.
