Argentine Dogo Dog Breed Brief

With his showy white coat, muscular frame and sharply contrasting dark nose, the Argentine Dogo is a striking dog that is easily picked out in a crowd. Prized for his strength, courage and loyalty, the Dogo was originally bred for the purpose of hunting wild game and is still used for boar hunting today.

It was the Argentinean brothers, Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez and his brother Agustin, who earn credit for first developing the Argentine Dogo. Back in the 1920s, these two brothers decided that they wanted to create a dog that was both a pack hunter and a guardian, as well as a loyal companion dog. Crossing the now extinct Dog of Cordoba with other breeds such as the French Mastiff, the Boxer, Bulldog, Great Dane, the Irish Wolfhound and Spanish Mastiffs, these two brothers continued until they had created a dog of great strength, power, courage and stamina. Every inch of him was designed to make am a more efficient hunter; from his heat-reflecting snow-white coat to his lack of dog to dog aggression, made him a perfect pack hunter. Over time, he would eventually evolve into the dog that we know today and would be used to hunt down vicious prey, such as wild boar.

Popularity of the Argentine Dogo waned severely in the early 1990s, when these magnificent dogs were taken and trained to participate in illegal dog fights. This led to the Argentine Dogo being banned in several countries, and facing severe regulations in others. To this day, fans of the breed continue to fight against this mindset and work to breed the sound and stable build - Dogos that work well with other dogs, just like the breed was originally intended.
