The Alano Espanol is naturally dominant towards other animals, but is obedient and protective towards its owner. This breed has exquisite climbing capabilities, and can jump great heights and run long distances at fast speeds. The Alano Espanol is not a temperature sensitive breed, and can adapt to living indoors or outdoors, but prefers outdoors. This is an ancient breed, believe to originally be used for herding wild cattle, guard and defense duties, and big game hunting. Prior to the 19th century they were used for war and in bullfights, which has since been legally banned. The Alano Espanol is known for having an extremely effective and desctructive jaw bite. Their obedient nature has always been a huge advantage for owners using this breed for hunting as they obey commands to release prey very well.

My husband had been to get an oil change and the men at the garage had kindly put a free bottle of windshield washer fluid in the back seat. However, they forgot to tell him. On the way home he stopped by the grocery store. Zoe, my 3-year-old boxer, was in the back seat and bit into and drank the washer fluid! Zoe was immediately sick and we rushed her to our local veterinarian. We were then hurried to the Animal Hospital where they were more equipped to deal with poisonings. At first they didn't think Zoe would make it, but she pulled through. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days. Without PetCare Zoe would have been put down. PetCare covered a huge amount of the bill. We heard about PetCare Insurance through our local veterinarian. Zoe has a great personality, is wonderful with children and the joy of my life.
