The Canary Dog Detection and Alert System
Don’t be fooled with the “Canary” in the Canary dog. This breed is nothing like a small yellow bird that its name is associated with thanks to the famous cartoon duo “Tweety and Sylvester”. Beginners or novice dog enthusiasts can confuse this dog as a larger or giant sized pit bull due to the cropped ears. But there are many distinguishing marks.
The great thing about this breed is that once the bonding between owner and canine begins, they are very affectionate and become very attentive to the family as they move. They are also very intuitive, able to detect and distinguish what is a real threat to its family. A serious sounding bark is usually an indication that something is wrong and that the master should be on guard. Aside from being a valid threat detector, these dogs can be excellent exercise partners that enjoy rough games or a healthy run.

I, too, use a pit-bull who will be the most caring animal I have ever owned. Soon, a fresh dog breed will occur along to the media to blast, as they have done rotties and dobies in past years. Unfortunate that media sensationalism breeds much inaccurate details.
My family and i just brought home a 15mo old female canary dog that we adopted from a breeder. I am writing this because i am very impressed with how well and fast she has adapted from the kennel life to a house dog she is suspious and curious at the same time she is loving with the famiy which includes a 5 yr old boy who is not calm at all him self and a 7 yr old girl. We also have 3 other dogs that some consider the gladiator breeds we have 2 english mastiffs and a cane corso they all get along wonderfully. I will say that she has not chosen just one person to attach to but it seems to be the whole family rather than just one although she knows who the “alpha” is. I am very excited and happy that she seems to be good hearted and good natured. she does need a firm voice and rules. When rewarded with treats and a scratch or two she learns very quick. i will say that these dogs demand respect and should get it and that goes for all dogs not just canary dogs. YOU must be a responsible pet owner to have a well rounded and socialized pet.
Thanks for your comment Lori! It seems like you have become real experts at how to raise several dogs and children at the same time! Totally agree with your approach about responsible ownership, hope more and more people will follow suit.
