Red Star Video Clips

Combining their many years of experience training dogs for sport, military and civilian use, Alex & Irina Vyatkin chose the Presa Canario as breed both mentally and physically best suited for the role of family companion guardian. Creating such dogs is a goal behind every breeding done at their Red Star Kennel. Health and temperament screening for breeding suitability is a must for every Presa bred at Red Star. Only dogs that pass both are bred.

People are frequently skeptical of the idea that a well trained and capable personal protection dog can also be a friendly and obedient family companion. The Red Star video will show you the process of rearing just that type of dog. You will see Red Star Presas at work during competitions, training demos, and at play with their human family. All dogs you'll see working were trained by the Vyatkins. Each and every one of them is a stable, approachable animal, family dog and capable protector. The tape also includes an outline of Red Star Kennel's methodology in regards to obedience, socialization and personal protection training.

This tape will hopefully provide answers to many questions you might have about Red Star Presas. You may wonder as to how the dogs behave around young kids as well as about issues more specific, such as levels of prey and defense drives, working ability, hardness, etc. It is highly recommended that you watch the video and carefully peruse the articles on this website before contacting the kennel with questions.

As a kennel dedicated to the working Presa Canario, Red Star Kennel strives hard to ensure they have the highest quality, widest gene pool of performance and functional Presas anywhere in the world to choose from. All Red Star breeding stock has been specifically selected for working temperament first and foremost; each dog tested in protection according to the Vyatkins own very high professional standards for functionality. The very harsh selection criteria allow Red Star to claim absolute leadership in producing the best Presas for companionship and protection. You are invited to see what Red Star means by "the best"!
