[edit] Temperament

The Canis Panther is a very sensitive and loving animal to its family "pack". They are very intelligent, easy to train and extremely loyal. They are not animal aggressive and do well in homes with children or existing pets when introduced properly. They excel in obedience, agility and personal protection. They are very defensive minded, not trusting of strangers, making them an excellent pet protector. The Canis Panther is dominant by nature. This trait, combined with its natural protective instincts, make professional socialization and training a common choice. It is suited best toward dog owners with experience and confidence in dealing with large dominant dogs, as the Canis Panther will probably take advantage of a weak-minded owner.

[edit] History

This breed was developed in the USA in the 1970s by Mr. Cleotha " Scorpio " Jones, Mr. Michael Stratten, and Mr. Lucas Lopez by using the black Great Dane, black Labrador Retriever, Doberman Pinscher, and the American Staffordshire Terrier. They hoped to create a larger Doberman-like guard dog. Despite their name, Canis Panthers have never been used to hunt Panthers or any other game.
