Meet the breeder

I'm Skylar A., the breeder behind Mesquite Creek Kennels located in Horizon, TX. Mesquite Creek Kennels breeds Presa Canarios with purpose, focusing on temperament, structure, health, and loyalty. Puppies come with vaccinations, microchips, ear crops, and lifetime support. We prioritize safety, quality, and lifelong breeder guidance for every family.

Q. & A. with Skylar

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband and I became breeders out of a deep passion and respect for the Presa Canario. We are committed to preserving the breed’s purity and integrity through thoughtful, selective breeding practices. Our goal is to produce high-quality Presa Canarios that exemplify sound temperament, correct structure, and true breed type.
  • What makes your program special?

    At MCK, our dogs are raised as family inside our home, creating confident, well-balanced companions. Our adults are socialized and trained to be stable guardians—protective when needed, yet well-mannered. Puppies are raised in a hands-on family environment and go home with vaccines, dewormings, microchips, cropped ears, and a puppy package. We breed with purpose and dedication.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are tiger. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Skylar partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We take great care in placing our puppies in appropriate homes for our families. Puppies are matched once they are old enough for us to evaluate their personalities - typically around 4-6 weeks depending on the puppy. We do however take into consideration, color/gender preference, though it is not guaranteed. ”

    Skylar was very responsive and knowledgeable! The packet of information on our pups care was very thorough and helpful. You can tell she is invested and cares deeply for the breed and the pups that she raises. Our little guy (Monty) is curious, intelligent, playful, goofy, and is just a joy to have in our home!

    The whole process was straight forward and went very smooth. I knew what I wanted and the interaction between Skylar and myself was very respectful as well as informative.

  • Dustin D.

    Verified owner · July 2025

    Absolutely thrilled with my experience working with Skylar from Mesquite Creek Kennels. From the very beginning, Skylar was incredibly responsive, professional, and knowledgeable about the Presa Canario breed. Her dedication to the dogs in her care is clear—she wasn’t just looking to make a sale, she truly wanted to ensure that each puppy was placed in a loving and responsible home. Throughout the entire process, Skylar kept in constant communication and made everything seamless and stress-free. She even went above and beyond by personally delivering the puppy to my home for added convenience. Since then, she’s continued to check in regularly to make sure the transition is going well for both our family and the pup. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Mesquite Creek Kennels to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional breeder. Skylar is outstanding.
