Canis Panthers are heavily muscled with a wide chest and jaw. Their ears are cropped and tail docked and their dew claws are removed. Their fur is short. This breed was developed in the USA in the1970s by Mr. Cleotha "Scorpio " Jones, Mr. Michael Stratten, and Mr. Lucas Lopez by using the Black Great Dane, Black Labrador, Doberman Pinscher, and the Staffordshire Terrier. Today the Canis Panther breeds true. We have established bloodlines and multi-generation pedigrees. Also other breeds have been used, Mastiff breeds including Dogue De Bordeaux, Cane Corso.
This breed is focused primarily on personal/family protection. A Canis Panther can be raised as a family companion that will protect family null Or they can be used as a working protection dog. IE: police K9, Schutzhund training, ring sport.
They excel in obedience, agility and personal protection. They are very good guard dogs. They are very defensive of their territory. He should be well socialized, preferably when young with both dogs and people, especially with children, as the breed tends to be naturally wary of strangers, though he is very friendly with those he knows. In order to successfully keep a Canis Panther the family must achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set. Because a dog communicates his displeasure with growling and eventually biting, all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success.
No special treatment needed.
