 The
Argentine Dogo was developed in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez in
the 1920's. He wanted a dog who was a good pack hunter and guardian, but
could also be trusted with the family. He started with a now extinct
mastiff-type breed called the Dog of Cordoba. He added Great Dane, Boxer,
Spanish Mastiff, Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer, Irish
Wolfhound and Dogue de Bordeaux. The resulting breed, not only met
Martinez,' original expectations as a big game hunter and family guardian,
but has also been successful as a guide dog and in military and police.
The Argentine Dogo is an excellent guardian of the home. Loyal to the
family, playful and intelligent. It is good with children and loves to
kiss and cuddle with those the family accepts. Dogos are easy to train.
This is a highly intelligent, powerful dog who needs a firm and
consistent, but loving hand. |
