The Canary Dog history includes the now extinct native dog of the Canary Islands, the Bardino Majero, crossed with imported English Mastiffs. It is interesting to note that the Islands were not named for the little yellow singing bird known as the Canary, but rather for the fierce fighting dogs bred on the Islands: From the Latin “cane” or “canis” dog came the “Island of the Dogs”. Another name for this massive mastiff type of dog is the Perro De Presa Canario. At one time dog fighting was a common and popular form of entertainment in Europe and the British Isles and several breeds were developed especially for their fighting ability and endurance. Some of the necessary attributes of fighting dogs were: tough skin, (often with folds or heavy neck dewlaps) strong jaws and punishing power and strength. The Canary Dog was developed as one of the fighting dogs exclusively and was used for that purpose in the early years of its development. When the sport was outlawed on the Islands, this breed very nearly became extinct by the 1960s. The fanciers of the breed took notice and made serious efforts to perpetuate the breed. Today it is enjoying some popularity as a guarding dog. In the United States this dog is not registered with the American Kennel Club.

Diverse, dynamic, modern, stylish, fascinating and fun: the capital of Catalonia and Spain’s second largest city on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula is essentially Mediterranean in its history, tradition and cultural influences. It is the unique blend of spectacular industrial growth, beautifully preserved Gothic and Neoclassical heritage, and the splendor of modernism that make Barcelona really irresistible. It is a fascinating experience to discover the many aspects of this thriving, bustling, multi-faceted city. Barri Gotic, the remarkably intact Gothic nucleus of old Barcelona, is a maze of winding streets and small squares packed with cafes and bars. Its heart is the Sqaure of St. Jaume, the site of a busy market. The traditional Catalonian dance sardana is performed in the square on Sundays. The Cathedral of Santa Eulalia (or simply the Seu) is a magnificent Gothic building dedicated to a 13-year-old martyr, co-patron of Barcelona. Thirteen white geese are kept is a secluded corner of the cathedral. Barcelona’s most famous and liveliest boulevard, the tile-covered, tree-lined La Rambla stretches all the way to the harbour and the lofty monument to Columbus (Colom).
