The Canis Panther is a very large breed of dog.

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. Despite their name, Canis Panthers have never been used to hunt Panthers or any other game.

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 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 proper socialization and training a necessity without exception. It is suited best towards 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.

Appearance

Canis Panthers are heavily muscled with a wide chest and jaw. Their ears are cropped and tail docked and the rear dew claws are removed. Their fur is short. Colors include black, chocolate, fawn, and blue/gray. Canis Panthers are always solid in color.
