Dogo Argentino

The Dogo Argentino is a powerful and loyal breed of dog originating in Argentina.

Bred to hunt big game such as wild boar, this muscular canine was developed in the early 20th century by Antonio Nores Martinez and his brother Agustin.

The brothers crossed the now extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog with other breeds including the Great Dane, Boxer, Bull Terrier, Old English Bulldog, and Pointer.

This combination created a strong, agile, and courageous breed that is known for its tenacity and fearlessness.

The Dogo Argentino is an intelligent and loyal companion, making them an ideal guard dog and family pet.

They are also used for hunting, tracking, and search and rescue operations.

With their muscular build and protective nature, the Dogo Argentino is a formidable breed that requires an experienced owner who can provide firm, consistent training.
