About the breed:
The Dogo Argentino (also known as the Argentine Mastiff) is a large, white, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina primarily for the purpose of big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma; the breeder, Antonio Nores Martinez, also wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companion to the death. It was first bred in 1928, from the Cordoba Fighting Dog along with a wide array of other breeds including, but not limited to, the Great Dane.
-Dogos thrive in a home were they are treated as part of the family but they must also know their place in the pack.
-A bored lonely Dogo can and will be distructive make sure you have the time to give your new family member the attention and training they need.
-Dogos do not make good first dogs, large breed experience is needed to ensure they will be handled properly.
-Dogos are very smart and are easy to train although they can be stubborn and need training sessions to be fun and positive.
-Dogos do not require frequent bathing, infact it can dry out the coat and lead to allergies, they do not have a "doggy" odor so a rinse off and towel dry is all they ever need. They do need their nails trimmed often.
