Dogo Argentino
GENERAL INFO
The Dogo Argentino sometimes called the Argentinian Mastiff or the Argentine Dogo is a powerful, athletic, and loyal breed that is both a fierce hunter and a gentle protector of its human family. They have a high prey drive, a strong will, and, at times, a distrust of strangers and other animals, all of which require an experienced dog owner to handle the breed. Dogo Argentino puppies need lots of physical activity and mental stimulation along with patient training, or else they can become bored and destructive. Dogo Argentinos are often used to help with big-game hunting, though they are also trained for police work, search and rescue, military work, and as service dogs. With proper training and socialization, they can make an excellent family companion and watchdog.
