Presa Canario vs Pitbull Appearance
If you want a breed that will stop people dead in their tracks out of fear, then either a Presa Canario or Pitbull is definitely the right breed for you. With large, broad heads and big, burly bodies, both of these canines have truly impressive appearances.
Both breeds can easily be mistaken for the other due to their strikingly similar appearances. However, the Presa Canario is much larger than the Pitbull, tipping the scale at almost double the Pit’s weight.
Both the Presa and the Pitbull have short, sleek, and shiny coats. But while Pitbulls are available in a wide array of different colors and coat patterns, the Presa Canario is only available in brown, silver, or gold.
Generally, Presa breeders crop their puppies’ ears for a more aggressive appearance. Pitbulls don’t typically come with cropped ears.

He comes in various shades of brown, gold, and silver, the color ‘tiger’ is even on the list!
