We firmly believe that if you are going to do something in life, do it the right way and do it as best as you can. Our advanced health testing, cutting-edge socialization, and continual customer support provide the best experience possible for families who adopt our golden retrievers. Our goal is to improve the breed of Presa Canario and provide outstanding family companions. 

You are certainly right that every dog breed is prone to certain health conditions. This is why advanced health testing is one of our top priorities at Sayre Presa Puppies. Every one of our adult dogs has their hips, elbows, eyes, and heart tested to ensure that only the healthiest dogs are bred. Not only are our adult dogs tested in these four key areas, but we also go the extra mile to ensure quality genetic testing for each adult dog. Not all genetic testing companies are created equal. We have chosen Embark, a partner with Universities in Veterinary Medicine, to help us minimize genetic health risks in our puppies as much as possible. Many breeders choose not to do these tests because they are an investment, but we truly feel that they are a vital part of responsible breeding. 

The COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) of each adult dog shows how much genetic overlap there is between their parents’ lineages. The lower the COI, the better. Using a genetic COI instead of just a pedigree-based COI yields much more accurate results. By carefully pairing adult dogs who have diverse genetic backgrounds, we increase the chances that their puppies will live longer, healthier lives. Many dogs who are poorly bred will have a high COI. This leads to decreased lifespan and a greater likelihood of health issues. We have very low rates of cancer in our dogs’ lines, and this is partly due to our focus on lowering the COI. As a responsible breeder, we don’t breed just for today. We breed with the future in mind to have healthy, happy Presa Canario for decades to come.

PICK-UP BY CAR
You are always welcome to drive to our home and pick-up your new puppy after making the reservation deposit. We actually prefer when you can personally pick-up your puppy whether you travel by car or airlines. But we also understand that this is not always possible especially now with the pandemic.

PICK UP BY AIRLINES

If you wish to fly to pick-up your puppy, we can meet you at the ticket counter with your new puppy after making the reservation deposit. We can also pick you up at the airport and bring you to our home to pick-up your puppy. Those of you with frequent flyer miles this might be the least expensive way to pick-up your puppy. The airlines will charge a small extra fee for this service.
