Great people, very helpful and knowledgeable. My puppy absolutely has the best temperament. Loves kids and is happy to see everyone she meets. Purchasing from Cabeza Grande was the right choice after researching several breeders in the US and Canada. Keep up the good work breeding amazing dogs.

Jen’s knowledge, decades of experience, and dedication to the breed makes Cabeza Grande Kennel the only breeder we would get a dog from. My family has a male and female bred by Jen, both 5 years old now. They have turned out to be the most incredible family companions AND protection dogs we have ever had (we have had other presa’s and many other breeds.) These two are SMART, balanced, loving, LOYAL, and ready for business when they need to be. It has also been a pleasure being able to effortlessly contact Jen over the years with questions and assistance. She is no nonsense - but a true respected professional. Thanks for everything Jen! We’ll always recommend Cabeza Grande!

Jen is a phenomenal woman, and a fantastic breeder. She is always quick to answer ANY question I have and truly cares about her dogs, even after they go to their homes. Additionally, Jen is a very ethical breeder and is dedicated to breed preservation and improving the breed. She puts out a quality product. I couldn’t be happier with my experiences with Jen and Cabeza Grande kennel.

Jen Chandler is by far the most knowledgeable, caring, responsible breeder. My Cabeza Grande dog is the most stable minded, healthy, smart dog I’ve ever met. Everything I could ask for in a dog and super versatile, I can take her anywhere and trust her behavior but still with the drive that a Presa should have. Jen is always responsive, has answered questions and given advice and knowledge and goes above and beyond for her dogs and the breed itself. Can not say enough good about Cabeza Grande Kennels!

I got my pup from Jen about 6 years ago. He was my first presa, actually first dog in general, so I was hoping I wasn't getting in over my head. His temperament is perfectly balanced and he has grown to be such a good dog. I was impressed that he already knew "sit" on command when I got him at 9 weeks. The socialization and basic early training these pups receive really does make a difference. On cue, he will jump up ready to play/walk/hike, anything 24/7 it's crazy. I get comments on him every time I take him out for a walk. Long story short I highly recommend cabeza grande kennels.

I did my research on both breeders and of course the Presa Canario breed itself. We decided to get our Presa from Cabeza Grande and we couldn't be more pleased with our dog, Taranis.

We asked for a balanced dog that was not prone to dog aggression and Jen Chandler absolutely picked the right puppy for us.

Taranis has become a loyal, loving and very protective member of the family and has never shown any aggression towards our English Shepherd female.

Highly recommended!!!!
