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.
